Speaking in Sacrament meeting...

So my parents spoke in Sacrament Meeting Sunday and it was the Tongan ward that they spoke in but they were allowed to speak English :)  The only problem is when the Bishop got up to announce the program all they could understand was their names so they didn't really know what order they were supposed to speak in.  So once the Bishop sat down my mom stood up to speak and as she was walking to the pulpit she noticed the other man speaking was walking to the pulpit as well.  Apparently she was the SECOND speaker, not the first. HAHA...so after she spoke, my Dad got up getting ready to speak, but then the organ started playing and they realized it was a rest hymn from the congregation...luckily the whole congregation stood up to sing the hymn so he didn't look silly standing all by himself.  My mom said several people told her she did a great job and they really enjoyed her talk, so at least they can understand english even if they don't speak it in church.

So the apartment they are in is actually the downstairs to a house, not an actual apartment building.  They don't have A/C and are missing the ocean breeze but they really like the people upstairs they are renting from and said they are very nice.  My mom had mentioned the heat and the next day an extra fan was on their doorstep.  She also asked if it would be OK if they got a little BBQ to BBQ out on the porch...the next day a new BBQ was on their doorstep.  She asked about a vacuum and said they could go get one for the place.... and the next morning there was a brand new vacuum on their porch. She said next she might mention they need a new Mercedes and see what shows up on their doorstep. HAHA...

They have FOX News, but not BYUtv so they are definitely sacrificing a little :)  but with my Dad's new iPad there is a BYUtv app that you can watch all the "classic" BYU games as well as live streaming...so that will be nice once football season rolls around...they just might have to wear their glasses to watch the small screen :)

When I talked to my mom last night she was watching a "Classic" BYU/Hawaii game but broadcast on Hawaiian TV.  She asked if I remembered if we won the game or not and once she started naming some players I quickly remembered that was the game from 1990 when Ty Detmer won the Heisman and we were creamed :(  I told her she didn't want to watch that one and better go watch the iPad and find the BYU/Miami game or something :)
Obviously the definition of a "classic" game is in the eye of the beholder (or winner) HAHA
