Da Good Life 808

So it's been getting a bit colder now! We're kinda in winter here in Australia, but it's good! In fact, it's really nice, the mornings have been beautiful. Door knocking has never been more scenic and peaceful, it's pretty great. Don't worry, still finding more interesting experiences to talk about from door knocking, regardless of how beautiful the weather is.

First one is when we talked to this one lady at the door. Wow, she was the most loving, kind, basher ever. She just preached to us about how we're wrong and stuff, but there was a lot of emotion and love in it, and it wasn't too... aggressive, I guess. She was super nice, and I have a feeling she's some kinda motivational speaker or female pastor kinda thing in her church. She even said a prayer for us before we left, then said that her and her family would continue praying for us that night! Great, so some lady who wants to try convince us that we're wrong is probably going to be praying for us for a while, so I invite all who read this to pray for the missionaries in whatever ward you're in! Because it would be a shame if she prayed more for the missionaries than the members did. And don't forget to be specific, pray for your missionaries by name, because she is too!

More door knocking experiences - nothing too out of the ordinary. Mostly just want to say thanks to the YSA that came door knocking with us recently - we got to take two YSA out with us and split into two companionships to door knock. We got to see a lot of miracles and teach a bit at some of the doors, and we even found a lady who seems pretty interested in learning more, after we shared about the plan of salvation!

What's with the title? So for those not from Hawaii, 808 is the phone code thing for Hawaii. We got a new move-in to the ward, and so we went to follow up with who this family might be! When we got to the house, there was a truck in the driveway, and one of the stickers on it said, "Da Good Life 808" - so I had a pretty strong feeling that they were from Hawaii! Knocked on the door and... no answer! But I was determined, so we came back a few hours later and... no answer. Came by the next day and... we got an answer! And they welcomed us right in. The wife was raised in Australia, but the husband was born and raised in Hawaii! We reminisced about food, weather, more food, and the different lifestyle back home. Upon leaving, they gave us a box of vegetables and fruits, and spam! Who else gives missionaries spam - so excited to eat spam, eggs, and rice now for breakfast. Or maybe spam musubi? The options!

Well, not too much else happened, just the usual. Knocking doors, teaching appointments, dinner, and that's about it. Maybe I'll have more to talk about next week. Thanks everyone for your love and support!
