Aloha Friends & Family,


Last week we went to dinner with Doug Pane'e and he told us where his wife Naomi is buried in the Valley of the Temples Cemetery close to where we live. We found her! She is in a beautiful cemetery that goes up the mountain and overlooks the ocean. 


 We were happy to see Cheryl Miner and her daughter Lexie and her children. Lexie's son Lincoln was on a make a wish trip to Hawaii. He is a cancer survivor! I was taking garbage out at the Visitor's Center and a car came down the hill from the Temple, it flipped around and I wondered what they were doing until they both said my name and it was so fun to see them. We made plans to meet up at the Polynesian Cultural Center when they had the kids. 

Dan is keeping busy cleaning up and making new friends at the PCC. This is a picture of their prayer meeting. We have been enjoying new friendships. We played a Ukulele game with the Bushman's from Washington, Utah last week and went to the cemetery with the Barker's from the Payson, West Mountain area. Our district went to the production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor DreamCoat. It was put on by BYU Hawaii.


I have been enjoying helping missionaries with their health. For my nurse friends, this is a sweet way to serve a mission! It's something I enjoy doing! I have also been using the mixer I brought over. I made bread for sacrament last week and brought honey butter and bread for the sister's in the visitors center. Most are hungry when we come for the 4-6 shift. 


I hope everyone is doing well and we are grateful for all of you in our lives. Until we meet again.

Aloha Nui loa,

Dan & Stacy

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
