Aloha wonderful family and friends!
It's been a very busy and wonderful week. I got to go inside the Temple for the first time on Thursday morning and it was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! It is such an amazing and special place and the spirit is so strong. Helping with the open house has been great and a wonderful experience. We have already seen miracles because of the temple reopening.
One such miracle happened with a 15 year old girl, Kamalani, that we taught my very first transfer. We invited her to be baptized but she said she wasn't ready at the time, although she had a testimony of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. For the temple rededication, all of the youth on Oahu and Kauai are having a cultural celebration for the prophet when he comes. The ward invited Kamalani to participate with them and she helped them with their dance for the celebration. Her heart was softened and about 3 weeks ago she came to the Visitors' Center and said she wanted to be baptized. She was baptized because of the events surrounding the temple! What a wonderful beginning to the many miracles we will continue to see.
I love you all so much! Make an effort to go to the temple - it is the best place to be!!!
Love,
Sister Stringer
PS- Happy Halloween!!!!
