What a beautiful day. We started off by attending the Samoan Ward. As we sat down, I leaned over to Jay and said, "everything is in Samoan" and it was. Even the hymns were sung from the Samoan Hymnal. I loved it. At the end of the day, I was trying to remember "love at home" in Samoan. I am going to make that a goal of mine to memorize that hymn in Samoan. I could understand some of the language, because many of the words are like Hawaiian. For instance, "tatou" is kakou.... that is Hawaiian for inclusivity, or all of us, or our, we. The Polynesian Culture is a community of people. Not me, but we.
I'm sorry for those who read this blog that I get so wordy, but this is my journal too. And I like to write about my feelings, and observations of our mission.
We then attended the Hau'ula third ward at 10am, all three hours, then at 2pm, we went to the Singles ward. We teach Institute this Thursday, so we are really making our presence known. We were told we might see 3-5 people there. Oh well, we are here to teach, any and all.
We love our Savior. We feel his encircling love around us each and every day.
Me Kealoha Pumehana.
