May 7-16, 2013
Yay!! Sarah, Cam & Miles came, what a cutie Miles is and a BIG flirt.  We had a grand time with them, we went to the beach several times.  Sarah & Cam went snorkeling, we all went to the swap meet in Honolulu (good buys there) dinner at the Turtle Bay Country Club, and shopping . They went with us to our Kahana class twice to help us teach and do a craft for the children to give to their mothers for Mother’s Day.  They even went with us to Costco for a hot dog, pizza and gas!  There is nothing too good for our kids!!! (ha ha).  They were able to attend the Mauck family baptism it was special to have them here to be a part of our mission.  It was hard to have them leave.  Our house was mighty empty after they left.
Tami & Jake Fackrell came the day before Sarah left there were here on vacation but graciously consented to come to our side of the island to do a program titled “Strengthening Relationships” for our 2nd. Ward on Friday evening May 17th.  They did a wonderful insightful and entertaining presentation.  Everyone that attended enjoyed the program.
Monday May 27th, Janice and Dave Campbell will be here for her work.  We will get to visit them a few times.
Saturday May 25th eight of us Senior Sister Missionaries drove to Honolulu to tour the Doris Duke “Shangri La” mansion.  Very elaborate with vivid ceramics from Syria, paintings and metal work from Islamic cultures, it is a 14,000 square foot house-fun to see but cold to live in.  Beautiful view with Huge windows, installed by Otis elevator that at a push of a button lower into the floor.  It is near Diamond Head and two doors from Jim Nabors house.
Doesn’t sound much like a mission, more like a vacation… but we do go visit or have meetings every day.  We just manage to have visitors also.
Sunday evening May 26th we attended a fireside with Michael Ballam.  It was held at Brother & Sister Lee’s.  The place they are staying has a beautiful ocean view.  Bro Ballam sang some show tunes and hymns.  He, his wife Laurie and son Ben who is serving his mission at the PCC leave on May 30 to go back to Logan, Utah.  Brother  Ballam will going back to work doing ”Fiddler on the Roof” Brother Ballam will be playing “Tivia”
Tuesday, May 28 is the one year anniversary of our entering the Missionary Training Center in Prove.  We met Dave & Janice Campbell for dinner in Honolulu.
Saturday, May 29 we attended the Temple with Dave & Janice it was a full session.  Two young ladies were preparing to go on missions.  They are Cousins and were called to the same mission.  We were ask to be the Witness Couple.  That was special since we were there with good friends
