Kaselelie Ahi Penene!

Wow, that was quite an update this week! I didn't hear about that Hurricane, but I think that we caught some of the effects of the storm. That week we had a little bit of a storm ourselves. Nothing too big, just a ton of rain and some wind was all. That is really sad though. It doesn't help my paranoia either... Haha

I am really excited to hear that you guys are going on a road trip. I wish I could see everyone that you are going to see. I miss all of those people! Please tell them all hi for me. Tell Cody that I am still waiting for that CD. Seriously, just an iPod recording would be awesome. You should push him to send me some of his religious songs. Maybe Frankenstein, Come thou fount, etc :) Please drive safe though. I always get nervous about road trips in the winter. Have fun, and let me know how it all goes. Oh, and if you can, send me some copies of the pictures and if you email any, try to send them all in one or two emails. It is really hard to view them when they are sent individually, and it takes a lot of time:)

To answer your questions about the packages, I did get the packages that you sent. Thank you so much! I loved everything. I have already started eating the goodies. I promise that I won't open the present until Christmas ) The clothes you sent will be great for the kids here on the island. So thank you for those, just don't feel like you have to do things like that. I feel bad at how much the shipping costs. Thank you so much though! I haven't received any other packages yet. I hear that I have a package today, but we haven't tracked down the Zone Leaders yet, so I'm not sure who it is from.. I will let you know next week.

So my update for the week will have to be quick today, but we had an amazing week. This week we taught more lessons then my trainer has ever taught in one week since he came out. We have been super busy the last few weeks. Next week is going to be even more crazy. Right now we have 9-12 people preparing for baptism on Christmas. One of the couples just decided to be baptized and they literally just came to us. I am so excited. The Lord has just prepared so many people to hear the Gospel. I can honestly say that these miracles aren't happening because of us. There is no way it is because of us. It is 100% miracles from the Lord. We can barely keep up with the People that he has brought to us. This is such an exciting time to be serving in this mission. We had an amazing attendance at sacrament meeting this Sunday as well. We had 102 people at Sacrament meeting this Sunday. We usually have 40-58 people in attendance. What is happening here? I don't know. Just Miracles and blessings.

Sorry I don't have time to write more! I've got to get going now. I love you all so much, and I hope that you are all doing well. Stay Strong, and Live like you mean it!

Love your Son, Brother, and Friend,

Elder Dallin Lyman

P.S. Mom, I should be calling on Christmas day for you guys, the 26th for us, I am really excited to talk to you all! 

 Love you!
