Ousheta! Halloween and a False Break in

Dear Family and Friends

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! We had a crazy week here in Pinnacle. We taught, we found, we passed out candy and we had a lot of laughs. Some of the Highlights

1. We carved pumpkins with the other Sisters for P-day. Lots of fun. If you can't tell from the pictures we carved an Arkansas :)  

2. We were teaching one of our investigators who is getting baptized on the 15th about receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost this week. At one point in her life she was Pentecostal and in that church often receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost is accompanied by speaking in tongues. So we were explaining to her that that is not the case in our church. We were getting ready to go when all of the sudden this old black lady bursts in and, I kid you not, starts speaking in tongues. She kept yelling OUSHETA! It was all Sister Kalahiki and I could do to not just start laughing. 

3. We are living with members and so we borrowed some of the Halloween costumes to try on. 

4. On Halloween night we went to our Ward Mission leader's house and passed out candy and pass along cards. It was a little cold. I was fine but my poor Hawaiian companion was freezing!

5. On Saturday Sister Kalahiki and I were studying when all of a sudden we heard a loud crash. 

Me: "Do you think someone is breaking in?" 

Kalahiki: "Probably."

So we quickly armed ourselves with the first things we could find, a mop and a vase, send a text to two church members who live close and our district leader "Hey we think someone might be breaking in could you come check on us?" and then we go to investigate. It was so scary! By the time Brother Whiteley got there we were pretty sure no one was in the house but we were sure a window was broken somewhere. However upon further inspection by Brother Whiteley, we found that the "intruder" was actually a ceramic jar full of change that had fallen from a bookshelf. So embarrassing! And to make matters worse the Elders showed up as well only to find that we were worried over nothing. 

The best part of the week though was that we found a wonderful new investigator named Felicia. She is amazing and has such strong faith! She loves the Book of Mormon and is excited to learn more! Stay tuned.

As always thank you for all the support and prayers and love! Hope everyone has a great week!

Love

Sister Aase
