Today we had a pretty good storm that knocked out all the power in Laie! But, of course, the President did ‘t want us to close the VC, so we spent a lot of the morning sitting in the dark!
Sisters Birch, Eastman, Lahache, Adamson, and. Crummett (sr. Jensen not pictured)
There was no light at all in the back, and only the light from the windows in the front. We could not even let people come in and use the restrooms because in Laie they have pumps to pump the sewage up the hill to the sanitation station, ….but the pumps are electric. So, if there is no electricity, then when you flush it all backs up…worse problem! But, people just kept coming in to see inside.
At one point there were about 20 people, many of them children, just laughing, running around, not wanting to hear anything about the gospel for sure! So 3 sisters got up - Sr.Crummett. Adamson & Lahache - and told them that since there was no electricity, we could not play the narration that goes with the Christus statue, but that she would just recite it by heart to them!!! So Sr. Lahache , who has heard it many times because she will gone home very soon, had them all sit down and she just recited the whole thing!!! You could have heard a pin drop! It really brought the Spirit in a big way!
This is the day the Monroes flew to the big island of Hawaii to spend a few days. Because of the storm they had a pretty turbulent ride there! Only to arrive and find out that the biggest reason they went there was to do a night swim with the manta rays…but because of the storm and huge waves, they cancelled!
Later that evening we walked over to the PCC to see the Bushmans doing Mr. & Mrs. Santa.
