Aloha,

We can tell we are on the down hill swing because we have been super busy.

Aloha 8/6/13

Aloha,

Wow.  Almost a normal week.  We attended the temple on the 31st because Sis. Rowland's husband was home with back issues.  On Thursday we did our 5 hours of service in the beautiful La'ie temple and did not stop to eat until we were home.  We had left overs.

On Friday, we went visiting with Sis. Tupola.  She is the new Relief Society President in the Nankuli Ward.  Her husband is the Ward Mission leader for their Ward.  We visited a Sis. Moody that had three children.  Unusual names... Tegan, Tosh and Samya.  Her husband is in the military and she seems to love just being home.  Sis. Appel is trying to come back to church. Her husband is not a member.  She has 2 children from a previous marriage who live in UT.  We did a quick check up on a Sis. Griggs who moved into the home of her daughter to help them return to activity.  She has 8 children and very poor circumstances.  She is in a wheelchair.  We met Sis. Gonzagas who had just lost her 30 year old daughter to kidney cancer.  Sis Tupola is related on down the branch.  We were able to leave a prayer of comfort before leaving. Then we checked up on the Nanakuli Elders and found them not really out doing the work.  Sis Tupola called the mission office and I am sure they will hear from the Pres. Warner.  We don't need any slackers!  It is so nice to go out with the RS Presidents.
