Brother Meyers

We have connected with our director in Laie.  His name is Pete Meyers. He teaches a couple of religion classes at BYU Hawaii,a night institute class in Laie, and 2 classes at the University of Hawaii’s institute. He also supervises 6 early morning seminary programs on the north shore of Oahu.  That poor man must not have much free time.  We can hardly wait to start helping him.  He said we will start teaching a new institute class on Wednesday nights as well as helping with outreach for institute from Kahului to Kaneohe on Hawaii.  He has arranged for us to have a car from the mission.  Sister Rasmussen is the senior missionary zone leader in Laie.  There are over 100 senior missionaries in Laie who work at BYU-H, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the temple visitor’s center.  She is looking for us an apartment there.

We have just 2 more months left before we leave.  We are spending a lot of time with our family filling our “love bucket.”  We will miss them but we have a hunch some of them may find their way over to see us in Hawaii.

Another Mission Call

 On October 20th, both Janice and I received notice of identical letters as follows:

                 

             

Mission Call Letter

We immediately did a little sleuthing and found out that we will be serving in Laie Hawaii with the Seminary and Institute program there.  We even got together by phone with our director there.  Apparently, he had just submitted the request the week before to the Church and when our call was being considered it popped up and we were a match!  We are still pinching ourselves not believing that we can go on another mission to a Polynesian Island and work with the people we have grown to love so much.  We will be teaching a couple of institute classes at night at BYU Hawaii and helping train and supervise the early morning seminary teachers in the area. 

We will leave for the Provo Missionary Training Center on January 17th and leave there on January 27th for Hawaii.  We have many things to do before we leave including getting our home ready, our yard ready, our waterlines ready, and getting our missionary clothing ordered for Hawaiian weather.  We will keep you posted on our progress as we get closer and continue to thank God for his generous blessings upon us.
