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! 

October 24th thru the 30th.

It's been a fun, busy, exhausting, and exciting week of learning, organizing, and enjoying! We start work tomorrow at 6:00 am. 

This is Sister Alapa from a Chili, and Sister Gonzalez from Bountiful. They are assigned to the Hau'ula 2nd Ward, and so are we. Church is at 8:00 am.

After the luau we went to the "Breath of Life" show. It was amazing!!!!
