November 14th-20th

 Another wonderful, busy and fun week in beautiful Hawaii!

Sister Gonzalas' has  a new companion, Sister Jensen. (She's the blonde) She just happens to be the niece of a couple in our Ward back home in Ivins. Small world! 

We watched a Ukulele class. 

Dinner with these missionaries afterwards. 😋

Luau

Removing the pig from the pit to the serving area to cut up and serve. 

Entrance to the luau where these BYUH students greeted the guests and later performed on the luau stage. 

Volunteered again at a luau. Welcoming guests, answering questions, and giving directions. 

Ran into these two cute sisters. The one on the end was in the MTC with us. The sister next to me was in our Ward, but got transferred. 

Temple glowing at sunrise. 

I love rainbows! 

Fun at the beach

A lot of missionaries helping get the Visitor Center decorated for Christmas.🌲 I'll take another picture                                                                      when it's all done.

                               This is a picture from the temple looking down towards the beach. 

                            Went to the temple on Friday night. Our first time since we got here.❤️

Brents doctor called Wednesday afternoon and told us to go to the ER and get checked out because he needed to have a cardioversion because his he was in AFib and his heart rate was way too high. (He has a lot of AFib!)  So we drove an hour to Honolulu to the Queens Hospital and they ran a lot of tests. Then the doctor comes in and said "this test shows your having a heart attack, are you in any pain?" Brent says no. Then he says, "then I don't think you are and your AFib has stopped, so we don't need to do a cardioversion." Good news! The doctor asked if he drank alcohol or caffeinated drinks, and he said yes to caffeinated drinks, and he made him promise to never ever drink caffeinated drinks again!! 😍 All is well! 

Monday night we had dinner with all the new missionaries that flew in that day. Then we went to the visitor center and watched a movie about how the PCC got started. It was awesome! Then we went outside and took a picture with everyone. (We're the third couple from the right.) We got to go because when we came, President Bassett was gone for a few days. Transfer are every 6 weeks and there's usually a big group that come at a time, but we came by ourselves. They had to change our arrival day because they didn't have an apartment for us yet. Anyways,  it was really fun! 

Took pictures in front of the Temple last Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. We are on the back row, kinda                                                                        in the middle. 

November 7th-13th

Another fun and busy week! We're loving it, especially meeting so many wonderful people! ❤️

Then we went over to the Dahlins and had a pancake breakfast with some other couples. So fun to get                                                               to know more people!❤️

Went over to the temple today and had our picture taken with all other missionaries. (Hopefully we get a copy of it.) 

This is a statue of the man that had three of his middle fingers cut off and now his hand signal is famous everywhere here. 

                                 

                                

                                

                                

                                

                                                Met some more fun people at the PCC. 

Marie and her husband Andy met us at the PCC today for lunch. 😋 It was so fun to see friends from                                                                         back home!! ❤️

   Luncheon on Wednesday for Sister Mitchell who's going home. She's a wonderful lady! She's the one                                                               with the Hawaiian leis. 

                 We're taking packages around to different people at the PCC from the warehouse. 

        This is the warehouse where we have been helping do inventory the last couple of weeks. 

                                       The bugs like me here! 🤪I really don't like them! 

Here's a couple of pictures of the farm, but it's about 5 or 10 acres. Always lots to do! Today we took                                                    plants over to the PCC and planted them. 

Here is a picture of everyone that works with us in "The Farm". Elder and Sister Hanson, Sister Torres                                                  and Mii our boss. (She has on the boots)

October 31st-November 6th

"Break the Fast" with other Senior Missionaries. Yummy food! Everybody brought stuff. We also sang goodbye to three senior sisters going home.

                                                  Ocean across the street from the church. 

                                                     Pictures of our church building. 

                       Pictures of two different dancers at the luau, but there were others. Very fun!

These guys are taking the pig out of the pit that they've been cooking all day for the luau dinner. 

                                                And this cute girl from New Zealand. 

                                                      Met this cute girl from Tonga. 

                Volunteered Saturday night at this venue. There are two different places for the luaus. 

Then we went over to the Talbots cousins home in Hau'ua. There were probably about 20 of us and everyone brought food for lunch. So fun to meet other missionaries! Went around the table and they all gave us advice, since we were new. So fun!

                                                            She led us in our songs. 

                                                                Sweet family sang. 

This morning were went to the Tonga village and heard speakers that told us about Tonga and the BYUH students and we heard and sang beautiful songs! This is a picture of President Grace who is over the PCC. 

                                        Very busy and exhausting week! We are loving it here!! 

This is MJ and Mo. They are the office staff and they give us our town run assignments etc. We helped them also doing inventory in the warehouse this week. They were so nice and took us to lunch. 😋

This is Sister Dennis and Sister Mitchell. They work in the warehouse mail room. 

                                                      Went over to the beach every day. 

Our first town run this week, and this is Anthony who went with us. He's the big boss and very nice!
