Christmas in Hawaii

Everyone in Polynesia loves parties! And Christmas time is certainly no exception. It is such a wonderful place to be at this special time. The monthly PCC "Team Meeting" had live music and wonderful entertainment. We had a brunch at President Orgill's home, and then there were parties for those in physical facilities. Christmas eve day Dave and I drove along the North Shore and went to a town where we bought him a guitar for Christmas. He had bought a ukulele for me! Who would have thought? Christmas eve afternoon it absolutely poured down raining so we had lots of guests at the PCC "escape" to the School House. It was wonderful. Such a feeling of excitement and anticipation. We spent that evening with other senior missionaries and then Christmas morning at the Bishop's house where the single students came for brunch. It was probably our quietest Christmas but was still lovely-we were able to talk to our children. What could be better than serving a senior mission and having children that are following the Savior and living His plan!
