Happy Easter to all!   

A Special Easter Message

                                                   

After four months, we have established a schedule of sorts.

• We attend two wards every Sunday. 

• We have District Meeting, every week.

• We attend the Temple, weekly or more.
• We pick up trash at the Sunset Beach Shower & Rest Area, monthly.

• We volunteer at the Kuhuku Food Bank, monthly.
• We attend both Sunset Branch councils, monthly

• We inspect the missionaries apartments, every six weeks.

• We volunteer at Pearl Harbor, every eight weeks.

Not scheduled, but happen, frequently:

• Driving missionaries to appointments. (Not all have cars).
• Our own appointments with investigators, and less active.
• Zone Conferences.
• Interviews with President and Sister Warner.
• Elder Cameron cleaning the ceiling fan. Come on, I had to add this!

We had our first official 'P-Day Pad Party'. One of the Sisters in our District is great at organizing any gathering that has to do with food. Elder Cameron cooked them hamburgers, hotdogs, (and toasted the buns) chocolate chip cookies and butterscotch pudding dessert.      ( The dessert has been renamed: "Sin".) There were a few tomatoes, lettuce and onions to go on the burgers, but that is about all the fresh nutrition they could handle.
One of our missionaries, who is Tongan, brought ribs to barbecue. He hadn't had any for awhile and was excited. He also brought some strange looking oranges. He cut them open and used them to clean the grill before cooking. So clever.
The "kids" played guitar, ukeleles, sang and played games in the driveway. The Sisters, dog-piled on our bed and two of them took naps while the others played. It was a great day for all of us to eat and relax. 

Our front door. A great custom to imitate.

Enjoying the music and the dogs.

Games in the driveway with our entire District.

During the the winter months, when the surf is very high, there are continuous advisories that come on our tech devices to keep everyone informed about the ocean surging over roads, closed roads, etc.. There have been massive, fifty foot waves, this year.

Can you stand another cleaning experience on "Mighty Mo"?

We were given a tour of the Communications Room, this trip.

Can anyone give me the year this computer was manufactured?

Were there shipboard computers in 1944?

Emergency phones

Radar equipment.

Elder Manalo, a very tidy, Filipino, found dirt that has been in the gunnels since the war ended. We were complimented amply...for his attention to the details. 

United Nations cleaning crew. Awesome!

The only thing that will get hurt by this gun, is me fooling with it.
