Parable of the Plumeria

Miracles Still Happen

We learned of these miracles in our Stake Conference.

There is a senior couple from Hawaii that was assigned to the
Family History Center, in Salt Lake City, Utah, for their mission. Their family is originally from India. 

They were assigned to the the records department, where they take old paper records, from all over the world, and make them digital. They weren't exactly thrilled with this assignment. They wanted to be in the Family History Center, and meet with new people every day and help them find their ancestors, plus, work on their own family history.

The very first day they went to work, they picked up the top bundle of papers and opened it. It was the family history of the Sister missionaries mother, from India. 
The next bundle they untied was her fathers history from India. 

Seamus, father of a currently serving missionary, related that when his oldest son received his mission call, their family met together to figure out how to pay for it. Two of the other sons wanted to help. One son is autistic. However, he found a job washing dishes. The other son is now a dancer at the Polynesian Culture Center.
Their efforts are paying for the entire mission of their brother.

Random Fun

 Sister missionaries didn't have umbrellas during a quick downpour, so a resourceful tourist helped them out.

It happened. I have influenced the haole girls to wear aloha dresses.
Our Sunset Beach YSA Branch presidency were released after three years. Their wives (without any prompting from me) bought matching dresses and wore them to church on their last Sunday. Their comment was "why haven't we been wearing these all along? They are so much cooler". (We meet in a very hot building from noon to three.) I'm telling you...go with the locals or the crazy Senior Sister from Idaho!

Cool Aloha
