(Tongan) Ward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They went home a
month early because of his health. We miss visiting with them since they were
the only other MLS missionaries on this side of the island we had the work in
common. Many of the CES & PCC Senior Couple Missionaries that we became
friends with have gone home. More are coming every week, most of them will be
serving at the PCC.</span></div>

our former <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>Bishop Patterson’s daughter at BYU Idaho.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was fun to have them over and hear
the conversion stories from the Russian Sisters.</span></div>

story about our country, flag & pioneers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We then did a graphic making images of fireworks exploding
and pasting them on black paper so that it look like they were exploding in the
dark.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Thursday,</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> July 4,

dogs & roasted marshmallows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They played capture the flag, Bocce Ball and of course the Elders
brought water balloons already filled with water. They all had fun getting
wet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We came home early, this year
there were no fireworks in the neighborhood like last year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

2013 We met our new mission President and his wife each of the Laie Mission
Districts met with him to give a short bio and he and his wife did also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>President Stephen Warner is from Salt
Lake City, they will do well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Being mission president is a big job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marsha had a dream that President Warner asked us to go home
early because we were not spiritual enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He didn’t say anything Saturday when we met him so I guess
we are safe for now. HaHa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

2013 A few weeks ago our district decided they wanted to go tracting- mainly
because the sisters had never done it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We too went, we were not good at tracting – that was hard - to knock on
doors and ask people to hear a message.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We found one lady that would let the elders come the next Friday that
was the day she would be home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
tried and she was not home.</span></div>

other areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the new Elders

Tonga.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His girlfriend is Tongan and
a returned missionary, she brought him to the meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He requested that older missionaries
teach him so we are combining with the young Elders in the girlfriends ward to
teach him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is divorced, in his
40’s and has children who have served missions and his ex-wife is a member but
he has never felt the spirit strong enough to be baptized. He knows some things
about the gospel we have an appointment with him next Friday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are meeting at the Temple Visitors
Center which is a great place to bring an investigator.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One year from today is our mission end date and we will be
on our way home where ever that may be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Time has marched by quickly, eleven months already.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Missionary work is still somewhat new
to us and we are still learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But we are becoming more <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>brave in our approach and
teaching lessons.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
May 11, 2013 is the baptism date for Larry and Jill Mauck
and three of their daughters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Another daughter and son are too young to be baptized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a family that we met on the
beach where they had been living for over a month in a tent because the home
they were renting had a fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The stake youth were doing a service project and the father Larry ask
what they were doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Youth
Leaders explained about youth conference and Larry said he had two daughters
that would like to participate and they helped with the beach cleanup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went down to the beach to meet them
and invited the mom & girls to attend Young Woman General Broadcast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They attended and enjoyed it very much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marsha invited them to take the
missionary lessons and they said they would like to hear more about the
Gospel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They found a temporary place to live and moved off the beach
which was out of our ward boundaries.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Stake President(Aaron Shumway) ask us to continue to
meet with them along with the young Elders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dennis sat in on those lessons while I took the three
youngest children for a lessons more geared for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are a good family.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to a Tongan wedding reception Saturday
afternoon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bride and
groom are in their 40’s, first marriage for each of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Different from our mainland receptions
you stay for the WHOLE time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lots
of Loud music, dancing and people speaking about the bride and groom, all in
their native Tongan language.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
couple was sitting on a couch on risers with a table in front of them with a
whole roasted pig. There were about 350 people in attendance in the stake
center cultural hall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They really
know how to enjoy themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On Sunday
the couple came to church with their native Tongan dress and spoke in Sacrament
Meeting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They said the Bishop had
called them at 7:00 AM that morning and ask them to speak.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a way to start your honeymoon!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few weeks ago we had a pleasant surprise from Mark &
Rebecca Olson from Highland, UT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> They are good friends of Danny and Denise.
</span>They were in Honolulu for a vacation an came over to visit and have
lunch with us. It was so fun to see them.</div>

We get a new mission President in July so Dennis has been
busy making a DVD for President and Sister Dalton.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had all the Sister and Elder missionaries serving In the
Laie Zone during April 2013 record a good-Bye message to the Dalton’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also recorded them singing two
songs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sent the video files to
Denise to compile the DVD.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Mauck family has finalized plans for their baptism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is set for May 11, 2013 at 9:00
AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dennis is doing the opening
prayer and I am doing the closing prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It should be a good turn out because three wards have been involved in
fellowshipping them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunday May 5, 2013 at our Sacrament meeting today a couple
was visiting from Provo, UT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns
out they are Sarah & Cams neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What a small world, cute couple Kevin and Mari, he just graduated from
BYU and is planning to go to dental school in Kentucky.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thursday May 9, 2013 Tim and Ruth Pineda from our ward in
Las Vegas came to visit us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
were here for a week and came to Laie to see us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were so happy to visit with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were their Home and Visiting
teachers for about 5 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ruth
is a member and Tim is not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
are both from the Philippines and met in Las Vegas and married there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ask them to meet us at the Temple Visitors
Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked in and who was
there to greet us but Sister Gamba who is from the Philippines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The three of them were from the same
city and speak the same dialect; they had a wonderful time talking. We watched
a couple of movies at the Visitors Center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t think this was a coincidence that Sister Gamba was
there to greet us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Lord has
his hand in missionary work.</div>

May 11, 2013 five members of the Mauck family were baptized
today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A great experience to see
them baptized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many missionaries
never have the opportunity to teach and baptize a family. There were people
from three wards attending we didn’t count but there had to be more than 50 in
attendance.</div>

May 12, 2013 we attended the Hauula fourth ward to see the
Mauck family confirmed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Larry
Mauck ask Dennis to confirm him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He was also sustained to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and during
priesthood meeting he again ask Dennis to Confer the Priesthood on him and
ordain him a Priest.<br />
<br />
Tami and Jake Fackrell (Danny's sister who was also Denise's friend before they married) also came by to visit. Tami spoke at a workshop for our ward. It was great and so fun to see them. <br />

But when she was listing to the District leader interview her half-sister she decided she wanted to be baptized also. So they shared jump suits one dry and the other wet.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dave & Janice Campbell were here on business so we had
thanksgiving dinner with them, Kassi Hartle and Brandon Reaves had dinner with
us also, both students at BYU-H and from Highland Utah area where Denise and
Danny live. We were grateful they
were here to fill the gap of family.
We are finding we are all family…
we spent two nights with Dave and Janice in Honolulu, very busy in
Honolulu compared to Hauula. It was nice to get back to our rural Laie
area. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
December 8<sup>th</sup>. 2012 we flew to Kona on the big
island to visit again with Dave and Janice. Good thing they come on business so they can give us guided
tours of areas they have been.
Also being a senior missionary couple we are able to take a break from
the missionary work unlike the young elders and sisters.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While on the big island we drove to Hilo and Dave and Dennis
took a- doors-off helicopter ride over the volcano, hoping to get some good
photos. Not much action. We also got to see the Kona Temple it
is right next to the stake center where we went to Sacrament Meeting on Sunday. Our trip was too short to go to a
session. We also had the
opportunity to visit with Elder
and Sister Raiper who were in the MTC with us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our classes in Kahana Valley are going well. On November 28<sup>th</sup> we
challenged the girls to baptism. We are hoping they can be ready by the 29<sup>th</sup>
of December. They have moved and
are not always at our classes. It has been hard to track them down.
Their mom and dad did give permission for them to be baptized, this is a huge
step for them since the mother and father are not members and are not married
or living together ( too common here). We will update later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Christmas in Hawaii 2012, never thought we would be in
Hawaii for Christmas, have to admit it is a lot warmer than Utah. Denise and Sarah sent pictures of their
blizzard. We felt grateful to be
here. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Christmas eve we went to the mission home to have dinner
with the senior missionaries that work in the mission office and the military
missionaries and of course President Dalton and Sister Dalton. They prepared a special filet mignon
that was marinated for eight hours and baked, very good. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Christmas day we were able to face time with all of our
children and grandchildren. We missed being with them but it is a blessing to
be here where the Lord has called us. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had breakfast with the young Elders and Sisters in our
Zone. They are very dedicated to their calling. Most of them had called home and were happy to have talked
to their families. We had dinner
with some of the young missionaries who did not get have dinner with the ward
members and two other senior couples.
Later about 7:00 PM we attended a white elephant gift exchange with the
young Elders and Sisters. That was
fun to be with them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Tongan ward had three Christmas activities, a ward
dinner, a ward dance and of course the ward Christmas Sacrament program.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the Samoan ward meeting a few weeks ago the bishop has
a unique way of suggesting that he would like us to speak in Sacrament Meeting,
he said “ Our ward would be so blessed to hear from you” how do you turn that
speaking request down. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the help of the Young Elders that are in our district
we were able to baptize two of the young girls that we have been teaching in
our Kahana Valley class for several months. Elder Allen performed the baptism on December 29<sup>th</sup>
and Dennis confirmed them on December 30<sup>th</sup>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

We are still trying to figure it all out but here is a very brief update...almost as a test run for us :)<br />
<br />
My parents had a good Christmas. We were able to FaceTime with them twice that day and that was a lot of fun. I will let them update more on Christmas but here is a picture of the Christmas dinner they were invited to.<br />

Mission update:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On conference weekend we worked at an Indian Pow Wow. We
were referred by the Mission President to help with a family history
booth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sister Keys had done this
last year and was just overwhelmed with people wanting to know how to start
family history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We assisted by
giving out four generation sheets along with a card that gave the familysearch.org
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>information and a list of all of
the family history centers on the island. We explained to people how to get
started recording information and what the family history center volunteers
could do to help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most were
surprised that it did not cost anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We visited with over 100 people over the weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were able to watch the first session
of conference (6:00 AM here) before heading to Honolulu for the start of the
Pow Wow at 10:00 AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marsha got a
sore throat from the talking and the “VOG” which is fog combined with volcanic
ash blowing in from the big island.</div>

A fast two weeks has come and gone already.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Denise, Danny and the kids came on
October 9, we were excited to see them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We met them at the airport with flower leis for Danny and Denise and
candy leis which we made for the kids. The triplets rode with us back to our side
of the island and we met Danny, Denise, Tyler and Steven at their villa at turtle bay where the kids went
directly to the beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

history and culture of Kahana Valley with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Auntie May a member of our 2<sup>nd</sup> Ward and a
resident of Kahana Valley gave a presentation about the history and had them
make Poi from Taro.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not very

</span>It is supposed to be very healthy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have spent another week in the Hawaii Honolulu
Mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I (Marsha) go for my walk
most mornings, look at the ocean, beautiful trees, flowers and green foliage
and think--- “I can’t believe I’m in Hawaii what a beautiful part of the vineyard
to labor in.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunday we are sitting in the Tongan ward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A cute 14 month old boy was sitting
next to us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He kept looking at my
lilly white legs then at me & back to my legs he finally came up to touch
my leg then smile & tough again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He started to gently push on them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So cute – I really think he thought my legs were like marsh mellows
& he wanted to see if they would puff back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With all the walking that’s probably the only part of my
body that can bounce back.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our Wednesday class at Kahana went well, we only had three
in attendance this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other
four were all from one family and they were gone somewhere.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The three that came arrived about 30 minutes early. Their
mother was bringing them home from an after school activity and they saw our
car so their mother dropped them off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their mother is not active and we are not sure she is a baptized member
maybe only a member of record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are gradually getting to know where all the people live and their status as far
as membership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was very encouraging
to have their mother drop them off because sometimes we have to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>hunt them in the area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our lesson was about “Doing Good Each Day”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We played a music video by Alex
Boye'<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Have I Done any Good
Today”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
(Here is the link to watch it yourself)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdoaHHDK_SA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdoaHHDK_SA</a> <br />
<br />
It is very touching but a
little more upbeat than the way we sing from the Hymn book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We gave a short lesson and went to the
community garden to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>weed and pick
up trash.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After we finished that
we had them decorate sugar cookies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When they finished and the two boys started leaving taking their cookie
treasures with them Marsha said “See you next week” Areal the eleven year old
girl said, “Sister Anderson you forgot something” .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marsha said, “Oh what? Did you leave some cookies here”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“No, Prayer,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the Closing Prayer”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How neat that she would
want a closing prayer. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We followed the suggestion of the stake president and told
some of the members that we are helping with a records audit and need to get
the names and birthdays of everyone that are living with them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The response has been great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most still don’t have an interest in
coming to church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The most common
excuse is that is the only day they get to visit with their family and since so
many are now inactive or non-members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We were invited to come to a baby blessing on Saturday at noon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are doing it in an area near the
ocean in Kahana Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is nice
to know they are willing to invite us to attend a family event like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are having someone from the ward
come to do the blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Step by
step we are getting to make friends with the adults in the valley.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1639540706236818150" name="_GoBack"></a></div>

Elder and Sister Anderson are the ONLY proselyting missionaries in the group. All of the others work at the PCC or Temple visitors center. I think they must have been sent there for a special purpose.<br />

<u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We picked Lisa and Kassi Hartle at the
Honolulu International Airport.</span></u><span style="mso-bookmark: _GoBack;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They stayed with us while Kassi got
settled into the dorms at BYU Hawaii in Laie about 4 miles north of us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saturday we spent some time with them
showing some of the sights and where to get the best coconut shrimp, the
school, and the beach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sunday they
went to the Samoan Ward with us then rented a car and spent Sunday together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Monday (Labor Day) Brandon Reeves (his dad helps coach Steven's basketball team) came
for dinner with us and Kassi & Lisa. After dinner we dropped Brandon off at
school and Lisa<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>& Kassi went
with us to the Senior Couples Family Home Evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Michael Ballam, his wife and son Ben presented the program. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ben is serving a mission at the
PCC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was born with spinal
bifida and is in a wheel chair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They talked about finding out about Ben’s condition before he was born
and the priesthood blessings they both received from Neal A. Maxwell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their story is so compelling as to the
truth that God does know who each of us is and what our needs and desires
are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was an extremely strong
spirit attending the evening.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Ballam’s
grandson Zachary is in the Triplet’s 4<sup>th</sup> grade class in Highland
and their son Chris & family are in Denise & Danny’s ward.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tuesday, we
all attended the Laie Temple to do baptisms for the dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We met the Hartle’s friends <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(the Martins) from St. George.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their daughter Marisa is attending BYU-H also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Great experience we
did a name for a relative of two of temple workers they were in tears knowing
that finally their relatives work was getting done.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wednesday
evening we took Lisa to the airport, on the way the attend our Kahana Valley
class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had seven children and
Kassi talked to two of the older girls about the Young Woman’s program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our two young missionary Elders
assigned to the second ward attended the class also.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last
Wednesday our lesson was on prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This week one young seven year old boy told us that he had prayed,
before his math test, to do well and recall what he had studied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That touched our hearts that he
remembered our lesson from last week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We keep the
lessons short, play a game and have treats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hoping to leave them wanting more so the come back next
week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Thursday
evening we had an appointment with the Stake President Shumway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He wanted to check and see how we were
doing, make sure we were eating… silly question… just look at us. He was glad
we were working with the children because most of the adults have no interest
at this time to come to church or learn about the Gospel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After our
meeting we went to the BYU-H Woman’s Volley Ball game.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Senior Missionaries we get a free
pass to all the home sports games.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wednesday
Sept 13 we Taught our class in Kahana Valley seven children came and the Elders
came again also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When it is time
for opening prayer they stop what they are doing, fold their arms & are
quiet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think we have made great
progress since only two are members and are not active.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we were getting ready to leave two
girls ran back to our car to ask if we would pick them up for church on
Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Anna Rosa a

come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a sweet invite for us,
Marsha hugged her and said absolutely we will come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can understand why the Lord loves these little children
so much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so blessed to help
these young ones learn about the Gospel.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Seluvais Atalina Napulou<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">On Thursday,
August 23, 2012 about 10:00 A.M. Marsha & I went to help Aunti Selu weed
her garden. When we arrived she
didn’t want to have us help weed but talk with her about her assignment by the
Stake President. President Shumway
ask her to tell how she was able to introduce the Tongan family of Eight to the
Gospel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">We talked for a
while about what she thought she should say and in the conversation her mission
came up. Marsha said we have heard
that you went on two missions can you tell us how that happened?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">So she proceeded
to tell us. She was living in
Tonga at the time and as she woke up one morning the spirit told her she should
go on another mission. She packed
a bag and proceeded to the Stake Presidents home. When she arrived his wife answered the door and she said she
would like to see the President.
She was directed to a room where the President was with the lights
out. She knocked and the President
ask her to turn on the light and come in.
He ask her why she was there, and she responded that she was there
because of what he had been praying about. He said and what would that be. She said she was there to answer the call to go on another
mission. The Stake President explained that he<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a> had been
ask to find two returned sister missionaries who could accompany two sister
medical missionaries to Tonga. He explained that he had not considered her
because she was doing such a good job with the young single adults and did not
want to give her up in that calling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Arrangements
were made and she went to the MTC but when it came time to go the medical
missionaries could not go. She was
given the choice to go on a proselyting mission or go back home, she chose to
go on the second mission. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">She told us a
couple of experiences she had while on her second mission which I will add
later.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to an investigators house to help the Sister
Missionaries with a service project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We helped them sand and paint a picnic table that was in pretty bad
shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also raked the fallen
vegetation from the front yard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is a daily chore here to pick up leaves etc. that fall from the trees.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tuesday August 14, 2012</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We went to help Auntie Selu, work in her garden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She lives in Kahana Valley and takes

stew with taro instead of potatoes and some other native dishes that we did not
try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We visited a couple of other
members also.</div>

Sunday, August 19, 2012</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
assigned the topic “Good Language” it was harder than we thought to say more
than don’t swear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dennis took the
general direction of bad language used today and also the language of prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marsha based her talk on using kind
words to each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we were
sitting on the stand waiting for the meeting to start, in walks the whole stake
presidency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It made for just a
little more pressure to do well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If our talks were not good what could they after hearing a talk about
speaking kind words.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Actually we
received several nice compliments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One sister told Marsha she “liked her sweater & hair but didn’t
comment on the talk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunday evening we attended a missionary fireside- our zone
missionaries sang and bore testimonies of Jesus Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Mission President and his wife
spoke also.</div>

There was an interesting person in attendance also it was

<span style="font-size: large;">When I say "little" I mean "little" for Dad. This was a pretty big service project but of course no big deal for my dad....other than it took 12 hours. He was at this home from 8:00am-6:00pm. These people needed help putting in a door for their house. They previously had been using a tarp so I'm sure the door is a BIG upgrade. My mom said the night before they had to go buy my dad some work clothes since he didn't bring any to Hawaii with him. He will probably use those work clothes several more times before their mission is over. I'm sure all the people involved appreciated my dad's expertise and knowledge on how to do almost anything. Here are a few pics of the project.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“A week in the life of a Senior
Missionary”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We held our
“Scripture Class at Kahanna Valley on Wednesday. The Children from the Valley did not come, however seven
children 5 of whom were recently baptized in July. They are from the Tongan family Dad & Mom and 4 of the 6
children who were part of the record 28 in the month of July. They are really cute, just learning the
gospel so our lesson on the creation and Adam & Eve turned out perfect for
them. They are so eager to learn
and so excited when we talk about something they already know. Marsha got bitten by a mosquito and it
was itching so she started to scratch it.
She ask they why they didn’t get bitten and one of the young men said
“Because we are Tongan” we laughed and told him I was going to become Tongan
then. We have a class scheduled
for next Wednesday and invited them to come if they are there visiting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Thursday
evening we met with all of the Elder and Sister Missionaries in our zone and
President and Sister Dalton took everyone to the Polynesian Culture
Center. For dinner and the
program “Breath of Life” because the zone reached double their goal of 14. Twenty eight baptisms in a month is
going to be hard to beat. Most of the people in the area have been contacted
many times by missionaries. New
people keep coming in though.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Friday we visited a young lady 21 yrs.
old, has an adorable baby boy, lives with her boyfriend & her dad and the
boyfriends dad. Pretty common here
for several generations living in the same house to be able to afford
rent. She feels good about the
gospel but can’t yet make a dicision to get married or ask her boyfriend to
move out. We showed her a video
based on a talk by Jeffery R. Holland titled “Motherhood an eternal partnership
with God” We plan to visit her
again on Monday.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Saturday
after cleaning the apartment and car we went to the beach, being the water love
Dennis is, he sat in the car and read, and I on the other hand went in the
water and sat on the beach to watch the surfers. It is a NICE place to serve.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sunday we
are at our three wards & a ward council meeting for the Hauula 2<sup>nd</sup>.
Ward. Sundays we are in church all
day attending meetings and visiting with the members Marsha does that very well
that is “visiting”. We are also
fasting with the zone. They have
set a goal of 20 baptisms for August. They come up with a planner cover each
month and August is “Money in the Bank”, Dennis made a planner cover for them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Spirit
is strong here in Hawaii. The Elders and Sisters work so hard and have an
amazing presents the local people have a reverence for the missionaries, we are truly blessed to be here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">To our
family in the Rainbow with ward – with your triple digit temperatures you would
love this chapel “ice box” its set at 64 degrees even I freeze out and I can
take a lot of cold .</span></div>

They got there close to the end of the parade route and were noticed by the announcer of the parade. He recognized them as the full time missionaries over the loud speaker. My dad said the people have a great love and respect for the missionaries here, especially the senior couples.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
My mom was picking up candy at the
parade like the children do(And how she picks up coins found on the ground ;-))They knew a few people in the parade.
A few members in their Samoan ward had a float and the construction
mission had a boom truck in the parade. Since they were missionaries
they were thrown extra candy ;-) </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div>
My dad said the last baptism they attended was number 28 for the month. The most ever, the last recored for July was 13. He said the young Elder and Senior missionaries are really motivated to teach and convert the non-members in Laie.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My dad was asked to be the witness for the baptism service of a family of 8 in which 6 were the age for baptism. They are in the Tongan ward and he said it was a neat experience to be the witness. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sounds like the work is moving along and they are doing great things.</div>

Elder and Sister Anderson went to a session last Friday at the Temple. My dad is going to
work on taking some photos from his tripod. He says, "The temple is so beautiful at
night, especially when there are clouds in the sky."</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
They were the only couple that day, so they got to be the witness couple. The
officiator talked to them after in the celestial room. He had just come
from Las Vegas to visit his mother who is not in good health. He was telling them that he went
with his brother, who is not a member. While they were in town, the brother went to the strip and
he went to the temple. What a contrast!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">My parents went to the visitors center and took the tram ride and saw a
couple of the videos at the visitors center. The one called God’s Plan
for Families it was fantastic. It shows a family at the red rocks near
Ivens and their son falls of a rock and gets them thinking- what if we
lost him? Then it goes through several scenes where they are
remembering when he was born and how important family is and how they
deal with the grandfather passing and then their daughter getting
married in the temple.</span><br />
