December 26th-January 1st

                             Laie wins for most fireworks we have ever seen! Went on for hours.                                   Looking forward to 2023 and the memories we'll make! 

We received all these family pictures/cards for Christmas.❤️ We love looking at them everyday! (Wish the whole family was on there! Maybe more will come.) We LOVE this time of year! We're so grateful for our family and friends and Heavenly Father and Jesus and the Temple and being here on this Mission! We're so blessed!❤️

A very common sight in Hawaii is a hen gathering her chicks. It is such a visual for us of our Savior as He invites us to be gathered. Studying His words and example and letting them improve our words and behavior will help us be gathered by Him.

Some of our farm crew.  Ulu's farewell with all the department people he has worked with! Such a great man! He will be missed! Yummy lunch and kind words for him from a lot of people.
