Another big bite on the face that has caused grief. Dang bugs!  🦟🐜🕷️

"From sweeping the floors to building entire homes, these versatile coconut leaves are truly nature's gift to Polynesians. Whether green or dried, they never cease to amaze us with their multitude of practical uses."🌿🌴 

Our friend Kristin took these pictures for us when they were here for a visit! 💗

April 3rd-9th

“Of greatest assurance in God’s plan is that a Savior was promised, a Redeemer, who through our faith in Him would lift us triumphantly over those tests and trials, even though the cost to do so would be unfathomable for both the Father who sent Him and the Son who came. It is only an appreciation of this divine love that will make our own lesser suffering first bearable, then understandable, and finally redemptive."

Planted these too take over to the PCC

          Beautiful rainbow this morning! 

Wonderful Concert at BYUH Wednesday                                night! 💗

                                Gave Grace these burp cloths too. It's says "My GG loves me"                                         (I'm having all my Great Grandkids call me GG. 😘)

Our sweet Granddaughter Grace at her baby shower, where she was given the blanket I'd made before we left for our mission. The shower was on February 25th.. I forgot to add these pictures earlier. (Thanks Kristiann for taking the gift to the shower and also for the pictures! 🩵)

Baby Oliver in his blanket I crocheted for him. Grandpa Ryan is holding him. I took this picture during FaceTime. I love & miss my family! 💙

This guy loaded us with 50 native plants to take back to the PCC.

              We love our Mission!! 💗

Happy Conference weekend. Yesterday was a spiritual feast and I’m so very thankful for 4 more hours of General conference today. It seemed each talk was for me and I found some guidance to what I need to change in my life. 

Elder DeHart, Elder Martinson, and Bry diagnosing the problem with our 20 year old car.  We need a new water pump and timing belt. The parts have been ordered and these good brothers plan on fixing the problem this coming Saturday. 

Wednesday, took a van into Honolulu to be serviced. Had yummy pancakes, eggs and sausage at the Highway Inn across the street from the dealership. 

Monthly devotional on Tuesday night with all of us and President and Sister Bassett. We always sing this song. I love it! President and Sister Bassett wrote the song and his sister wrote the music. I need to record it before we leave. 🎶

Oliver Frank Jensen our 4th Great Grandchild was born on Monday, March 27th. He's so adorable! 💙
