September 18th-24th


We each have the been given the gift of life. It's up to us to unwrap that gift and do some extraordinary with it! 
Our last District Meeting! 
Decided to enjoy it on my table with my plant. 
                        
These are the Elders that are assigned to the ward!  They are amazing! 
These sweet people have been extra kind to us also! So many kind people. Wish I could have got pictures of all of them! 
Charlotte Soles & Sunshine Norton. Sweet friends in the Ward. I will miss! 
        Kapua made these leis for us. 🩷
        This is Bishop Enos.  Great man! 
Everyone that wants to, comes up and gives you a hug and to say goodbye. 
 This sweet sister made and gave me this beautiful headband. 
Our last Sunday in the Hau'ula 2nd Ward.
We were called up front after sacrament meeting and they sang the Aloha Oe to us. 😥. This tradition is done for everyone that leaves the Ward for whatever reason. I love it and wish they did it back home. I always cry however, even if I don't know the people leaving. Such a touching song!
Met this morning with President Bassett and Sister Bassett for our exit interview. They're so amazing and we are truly going to miss them! 💓
   Another sweet Sister I'm going to miss!
  It's Friday night and it's our last time working "Ask Me"at the PCC.  Just for fun, was scheduled for us four couples to work the same night as we had the same outfits. 
Our boys all together today, Friday, for the  annual baseball trip! I think they're missing their dad! 
                    Teine came over to the farm this morning to give us a leis' and cookies and to say                            goodbye 😥. 
.      A beautiful grove of a papaya trees. 
         The butterfly has been a symbol of transformation, hope and faith for thousands of years. The butterfly is also a symbol of rebirth, since it goes through so many life cycles -- from larva to caterpillar to chrysallis and finally to a beautiful, flying butterfly.🦋
   We have loved our monthly devotionals!  Sad it's our last one! 💙
    A quote on the wall of Seven Brothers that I thought was great! 
     The sign in the window
                            Then we went to our favorite burger place again-Seven Brothers! 😋                                                                    (Hopefully a couple more times before we go home)
We're at the library, Monday after work, at BYUH getting more books to read and here is the cute librarian who is actually the girlfriend of Nakau. (The security guard that we met over at the PCC)
