Change of Pace

A few weeks ago, the mission office couples agreed to take turns covering for one another during one afternoon a week (that way there’s always someone to answer the phones and greet guests) so we could attend the Laie Temple. This week was our turn. 

As the morning progressed, we weren’t sure we would be able to leave because we had things we felt needed to be done, but we “made” ourselves break away, and I’m so glad we did!

Since we arrived last month, we haven’t had a chance to drive to the other side of the island, and it was a nice way to spend the afternoon…a sunny day and a beautiful drive! We stopped on the way for a late lunch at Cholos in Haleiwa, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants on Oahu.

The trip was a welcome change of pace…and much appreciated!

Lol, I got married in that temple :-) Marriage didn't work out, but it's still a beautiful place! We lived in Haleiwa for a while, too. And...my son was born on Oahu. He's 22 now :-O He's very pale, so I get a kick out of telling people he's a "native" Hawaiian ;-)

Thank you for giving us the chance to read about your special *journey*. It is so exciting to hear about your year in/on Hawaii. Have a great time! All my blessings,
Jenni

I'm so glad that you took time for this break and look at the beautiful sky God painted for you as a reminder to rest in Him. I need to do that myself more often ;-)

Blessings, Kelly DeTommaso

Hi Shelli...

Thank you so much for your gift that arrived here in Inverell today. I am looking forward to reading the book to learn more about your faith. The bookmark was a lovely surprise also.

With love and prayers for continued blessings on your mission.

I smiled today... Lovely as a Tree is not being retired! It's still the best set of tree stamps on the market. Thank you!!

Blessings on you and yours this week!

Laie! My home for nearly six years. And the Laie Temple is where my husband and I "eloped" to over 12 years ago. Lots of happy memories there. :)
