Farewell Hawaii, Honolulu Mission

yep, you heard it right. soon to no longer be the hawaii honolulu mission. we found out last thursday that our mission will be splitting with the new year which is actually so sad :( i loved my mission president and loved going to honolulu for special occasions BUT its okay because it only means that the good word is spreading faster than ever! 

nothing too crazy happened this week other than a couple of floods, but nothing we can't handle. i guess the houses are all built 5 feet off the ground for a reason. it poured all day and night saturday, sunday, and monday. i finally got to take my rain jacket and umbrella out of my suitcase! 

we invited our whole ward (all 14 couples) to come to the visitor center on friday to watch the christ child with us for light the world. unfortunately only one couple came & the senior missionary couple but it was still great! i love showing the visitor center guests the christ child not just so i can sit down for a whole 18 minutes but really because it invites the spirit so strongly and i love talking about the reason for the season! go watch it if you haven't!! 

had dinner with an indian couple in our ward this week. turns out they don't use utensils in india and you eat with your hands!  imagine eating rice with yogurt on top with your hands!! its a good thing the wife gave us some forks because "we are american". slowly realized the many reasons i was called here... and not india... and not samoa! 

with much love, sister crowley
