Who would believe we have three weeks left and they are flying by. We have had a great time with Kaylee and Mallorie. So happy they could come and visit. They are a delight.
Sunday we went to Laie 1st Ward. we stopped at the visitor center to look around. They just about have the new display of the temple ready to install. We then did our Just Serve. Paul dropped us off at Leslie's and we helped her change her bed and carry out her donations for the homeless. She is the most generous person I know.
Monday we went to Sharks Cove snorkeling for about 3 hours, then to Waimea Falls where they jumped off the rock then to the Dole Plantation where we walked around and learned how to cut a pineapple as well as how to pick one out. All the eyes top to bottom should be the same size, they should nto be soft and not black on the bottom. We also learned that you don't cut the top off, you twist it off and then you can put it in water for a few days until a root starts and then plant it. Eighteen months to two years alter you will ahve a pineapple. I'm trying it with my last pineapple. Shoudl have started it at the beginning of this mission and it woudl be ready to eat upon going home.

This week we are on 3 - 9 pm shift so it has worked out well with the girls. I also started passing out my little gifts to the coordinators and mentors and saying a few goodbyes.
Wednesday morning we tried the swap meet at the stadium once again and had a great time. Got some good buys as usual. Tje girls went canoeing with Pastor Sage that evening and had a great time. They were able to go out several times with different groups.

Friday morning Paul drove us out to Chinaman's hat and the three of us walked out. They climbed to the top and then we came back. From there we went to the Macadamia Nut Ranch and went on their tour. Paul drove into Koneohe to see if he could get the car checked but ended up visiting erome Pollard.

Saturday after the temple we came down to the condo in Waikiki and have been having a great time. went to Kahala Ward in Waikiki where we met many ordinance workers we know from the temple. We were each able to bear our testimonies for the last time on Hawaii soil. It has been a great privilege to serve here. We love the people.
Monday I took the girls to Sharks Cove, Waimea Falls where they jumped off the rock.
