Andrew's homecoming is August 26 at 10:45 at the stake center at 4917 Viewmont
Drive. He'll be speaking with David Pinnock. Andrew snapped his
collar bone in half, and he's very proud of the pictures of it, so I've
included one of them. He's done being AP, and is now the zone leader of
the Laie zone, over the visitors' center, Polynesian Cultural Center, etc...
It's apparently the "celestial kingdom" for the mission, so he's VERY
happy to be finishing there! Below is an excerpt:
Whats up! Another awesome week up here. Every
week just gets better and better! The baptism for the Cartwright Family will be
on Saturday. It's going to be incredible. I'm pretty sure the entire Laie area
will be at the baptism-everyone is excited for this family to join the church.
Whenever we tell people who is getting baptized they smile and say WHAT! FOR
REAL! The father, Bobby, is kind of a rough neck country guy but he's sooo
tight. He owns a crane company and works super hard to keep it up and running.
It's great to see their progression-the father, Bobby, quit smoking and
drinking, and they have a love for the scriptures that
is unbelievable! Everyone in church already thinks that they are members!
It's wild and i can't wait! I'll send you pictures next week.
Update
on my collar bone: It's doing great. I'm no longer in a sling, and i can move
it around almost normally now. The doctor has me doing some physical therapy
that will strengthen it. The only problem is that the scar tissue is growing
into the plate and so i have to massage it out. And it feels wayyyyy
good......but i'm pretty much back to normal and the work goes on! I'm still
going to bring the sling with me when we go tracting. It's
a guaranteed conversation starter and door opener! Everyone feels bad
for the crippled missionary...Hahah works every time, suckers!
So
other than that, life goes on as normal. We decided to let the Tongan
Ward feed us dinner every night. I'm sick and tired of eating white people
food, i don't even like it any more. Especially spaghetti and
lasagna. So we just told the Tongan Ward to take over our dinner calendar and
feed us every night! I am definitely going to be fat when i get back.
My weight is packing on since i can't exercise as hard as before.
Tell
the Mill's hi and be sure you go eat dinner with them. And i like the idea of
memorizing the living Christ. I think i will do that.
Sorry
it's short this week but we are off to work! We are going to make this the best
week yet! I'm so excited for this zone and the work that's going on.
I
love you all! Thanks for all the letters and packages! I couldn't ask for a
more supportive family!
Ofa
lahi atu and Aloha!
