Another Blog: Mililani-Returned Missionaries.blogspot.com

...or something like that.  I can access it, but I don't know if any of you can.  But please go there to get the post missionaries' activities.  I guess we are not ready to "settle" into the way things were, because we are not the same two people.

It's the Eve!   Jay went golfing while I went to the beach this morning at 7:00AM to swim, with Jace, Jarrod, Noah and Kea.  I missed the sun rising out of the ocean, I arrived 10 minutes later than the rest of the family.  Did I mention how beautiful the sunrises and sunsets are with the Vog?  There is a south east front that is coming this way.  That means the volcano smoke is blown in from that direction from the big Island.  Many people are being treated for smoke inhalation and others cautioned.  Tonight, the family here will just sit inside their yard, and light up sparklers, etc., in other words, "legal" fireworks.  There are a lot of people here who disregard the laws about fireworks.  Pyrotechnics, is actually an Asian influence on our culture.  And of course, there are many Asians here in Hawaii.  But it's the newcomers who think all of this is great, and choose to ignore the laws, well, not just newcomers.  So much for laws.  They are made to be broken, is that the issue here?

This calendar year is almost over, and we are charging full speed ahead. We taught a merit badge class in Citizenship in the Nation this morning. We had 10 boys. They are sharp and they can be impatient. But with the two of us there, we can handle it. This Troop is supported and overseen by some very dedicated people. They get Eagle Scouts, every year. Their hearts are in it all the way. We are impressed with the fine young men that come out of this ward. We have one non-member who is just as sharp as can be. He could answer all the questions we threw at the class. It is so rewarding to know too, that our Prophet is an avid Scouter. This is an inspired program.
