We are loving being in Paradise.  We drove over to the North Shore yesterday to view the 20 ft. waves and surfers.  We talked to one surfer who had just "come in" from surfing.  He said "it's brutal out there".  We asked him if he surfed Monday, in the 40 ft. waves.  He said yes, and that he was scared at the huge waves.  He is from Australia, and they don't have waves like that.  This year for some reason, the waves are higher, and more abundant. 
It was our "P-Day" but we have no such thing.  With Seminary at 6AM and then helping out at PCC, we had one window of the day to wash clothes, and to vacuum the apartment, and drive over to the North Shore to see the Surf and the surfers.   
We met our neighbors from American Fork yesterday, for the first time.  They are delightful people.  Ralph had a music competition to attend here at the UofH.  He and Rebecca had never eaten at Ted's Bakery before, so we had to introduce them to our famous North Shore(hole in the wall)eatery.  It's always crowded, and they serve the best food. It's not just a bakery. They are most famous for their Haupia-Chocolate Cream Pie.  And any other pies, for that matter.  Elder M likes the plain Chocolate Cream Pie, I like all the pies.  They have the best crusts and cream topping.  I especially like the Macadamia Cream Pie, but you can't beat that Haupia Chocolate Cream Pie.
