12/29/08

I can't believe 2008 is almost over.  It's been a blessed year for us.  
This mission is truly a blessing as we focus on our Savior full time.  We are enjoying our family here, and yesterday we talked online, on view, on oovoo camera with the Boston family.  With 8 people there in Boston, and 8 people here in Hawaii, it was a talk fest.  Everyone talking all at once, trying to get in front of the computer.  Of course, James had his family posed in front of their big screen watching the Hawaii ohana.  We did get some questions in and some questions answered too.  Elder McQ and I then went to the Singles ward, and we heard some wonderful talks.  I turned to Jay and said, "do you feel the sincerity in their talks?"  he agreed.  Then after we checked in on our office here at the Laie North Stake, we saw our son and his family pull up in their van at the temple visitor center, right next to the Stake Center.  So we joined them and we viewed a film there, then walked around part of the grounds.  What a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon with your family to keep the Sabbath Day holy.  Of course, when their children range in age from 5 to 13, it's difficult to keep them all interested in the same things.  But we enjoyed the walk on the temple grounds.
