We kept our Sunday pretty low-key being that it's the Sabbath and all. We slept in as much as we could and then walked up to the aquarium. It was nice just to relax and watch all of the colorful fish swim around!
After we finished up there we caught our bus to church. We attended a ward at the Hawaii tabernacle. What a gorgeous looking building. So neat that you have to go outside to get from classroom to classroom. As we were sitting down some sisters were setting up chairs in the front. I figured it must be for the primary presentation since it's about that time of year, and sure enough I was right. Nothing like watching a bunch of kids sing and share their testimonies when you miss your own little munchkins! It was very well done.
After church an old mission companion of Mike's came to pick us up at our hotel. We spent the rest of the afternoon and well into the evening with Elder Manoa and his family and are so grateful for their hospitality! It was so great to have a home cooked meal and enjoy good company. Elder Manoa's sister served in Guam with a lady that Mike home teaches! Small world!
I had fun listening to the boys swap mission stories and catch up. I've always been told that of all of Mike's mission companions I am most like Elder Manoa. They got along well in the mission and it was so great to hear about their experiences together.
