Sunday, July 23, 2023 - Laie Days Devotional

The Senior Missionaries were asked to sing a couple of songs for the Laie Days Devotional Al that was held in the Cannon Center. It was fun and we had some piano and ukulele accompaniment  for How Firm a Foundation, the Handcart Song and our mission song -The Cause of Christ. Elder Archibald was the narrator. 

(There is a lady on the front row, right in the middle, with a white dress and red shawl. Roger and I are standing just to the right of her. We are both singing and holding the ukulele music for the people beside us.)

Little did we know that this fireside would continue with so many performers and speakers that it lasted 3 HOURS !!!!! Here are some photos of other performers, all that have some special significance to Laie.

Sister Tonga and her family

Sat. July 22, 2023 - Under Construction !

 We have so many things going wrong with this apartment that we live in! We try to tell the landlord about them and they don’t do anything. We offer to do the work and they don’t accept. But today, unbeknownst to us, they showed up to do some work on the deck and boards outside of the sliding door to our bedroom …something we hadn’t e en told them about!

We were very nervous that it would be like so many of their work projects that they just start and then leave half-way finished!  Especially since our. Ed room was totally exposed. But, luckily they had hired a workman and he finished and put it all back together! Whew!

Another funny picture…one of our pass along cards was either thrown or blew into the fountain just outside the Visitor’s Center. Our Elders, who walk the grounds each day, tried to get it out, while being obedient NOT to get into the water! Ha!
