Yesterday I forgot to do the blog, so here I am before FHE putting it together.  A rather quiet week so it will be rather brief. Last Monday night we went to the senior missionary FHE because my colleague from BYU, Richard Holzapfel was the speaker.
We are with the Holzapfels and Botts

He did a great job and the seniors loved his stories about his experiences as a mission president in Alabama during the Romney run for president. After the presentation all the BYU colleagues had their photo taken.  We are in the picture with the Holzapfels and the Botts.  They are serving at BYUH in a student assistance program. 

Tuesday we spent the evening at the PCC taking tickets at the Ohana Luau. It is not a big luau so we finished early and while we were waiting to be released so we could eat, I took this photo of Kaye and the canoe. It was much better in real life.  But it did get Kaye all excited about watching Elvis's movies he made at the PCC:  Blue Hawaii and Paradise, Hawaiian Style.  Awful movies but fun when we see so many places we recognize.

The week was rather ordinary with no major happenings.  It was the last full week of the Summer B term so I handed out my finals and we will meet once more. 
Here is a photo of my Summer B Term missionary prep class.  They were a good bunch.  Four international students (China, Korea, Honduras and Bolivia).  Four already have calls to California (2), Halifax and Korea.  I have grown to enjoy this class more than I thought when I volunteered to teach it.

On Saturday our Branch President baptized his son so it was interesting to see how that works in Hawaii.  First, the baptismal font is outside under a roof attached to the building (Wailua ward)  Second, everything else is the same (grandma's speak, lots of family, etc.) But the fun thing that is unique is people who come bring candy leis.  Here is a picture of Ashton Lee after this baptism and a photo of mom with him.  I think she still misses primary.
