Sister and Elder Duncan: 6/6/23

Aloha Friends & Family,

Tomorrow marks the start of our fourth month serving a mission!

Like another missionary said the days are sometimes long but the weeks are flying by. We said goodbye to 7 couples in May and it was sad because we are friends with so many of them. It is nice not being the newest missionaries here.


I wanted to share a picture of all of the junior missionaries we serve with. We love serving with them! They do the Tram Tours from the PCC to the Visitor's Center and they run the Visitor's Center. They also run a Teaching Center. It is one of 5 in the world. In the last 2 weeks our mission had 11 baptisms. 


Dan works in the motorpool area of the PCC with Bry, his boss, Dan, Elder Craghead and Elder DeHart, his other bosses. Dan took soda pop for everyone today and came home happy to report the guys liked it! It is starting to get hotter here and I thought it was already hot!


We were happy to see Kate, Sydney, Rylee and Trent Searle. It was so fun to see the little girls! Trent was here working with my friend Cathy Gleason's husband. We saw them too! 


We have found the spirit of Aloha is here and it is real. People here are very kind. Family is very important here a lot like home. We had a woman a few houses down pass away last week. There have been so many visitors at the home. They take mourning with those that mourn....to a new level.


I hope everyone is doing well and we are grateful for all of you in our lives. Until we meet again.

Aloha Nui loa,

Dan & Stacy

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
