And it came to pass........

....that we are still excited about being here. We are covering the LDS Employment Resource Center, teaching Institute, coordinating the 13 seminary classes. We had 15, and we combined classes this year. Eveything is running so well, but we still wake up at 4:30am, to be out of the apartment by 5:35, to attend our two wards where the classes meet. The Hau'ula Makai Chapel holds 6 huge classes from 4 wards. While the Laie Stake Center holds 6 classes from 5 wards. Elder McQuivey drops me off at Hau'ula while he goes to Laie, and then he picks me up after seminary. I am supposed to sit in on classes and do some evaluations. But I am supposed to make an appointment to do that the day before. All of the teachers have told me not to call, or they would worry all night, just show up. So I haven't done that yet, but I need to do it soon. Already tomorrow is a holiday for the 50th year celebration of Hawaii being made a State of the United States of America. I was 20 years old when that happened, and I was a sophomore at the Church College of Hawaii. I could now vote for my governor, and have two senators, and representatives from my "state"..... But I didn't know what other kinds of impact the statehood would make on this land of Hawaii. The Kamehameha schools will not have the day off tomorrow, just the public schools.
