We Have Arrived!

We landed in Hononlulu at 6:30 PM Hawaii time on Tuesday and were greeted by our mission president, President and Sister Bassett. We visited in the van as we drove back toward Laie and stopped to order take out mexican food. We arrived safely in our apartment and were overwhelmed at how spacious and modern it was. We truly feel blessed.

We were grateful to meet Brother Meyers and he kindly took us on a tour of the institute facilities and invited us to observe a couple of his institute lessons. We will be taking over the teaching of his Wednesday night class. He also connected us with a sister who will be teaching an afternoon Seminary class for students with special needs. we will be helping with that class once a week. We did take time yesterday to comemmorate our daught Jenny's birthday by tossing some lei flowers (just the flowers, not the string) into the ocean.

we are getting settled in. We have a car on loan until our new one gets here. We have been to COSTCO and Walmart to stock up on food and to buy what we need for the apartment. We have gone to BYUH surplus and purchased a new desk chair and small desk for our apartment. We have also been assigned to attend the Kahuku 3rd Ward which is Tongan. We are looking forward to learning some new language skills. Keep looking for more updates. We will try to get some Beach pictures in soon.
