Random stuff.  I just looked at my entry on the other blog, and I realized that I had been bragging about my Christmas gift of a new laptop.  As luck, or whatever we call it, we had to return it to HP.  Yes, yesterday Fedex picked it up at Jace's workplace, and took it back to HP.  Darn.  I was so looking forward to using it every single moment of every day.  I wanted to learn some more stuff to do too.  Like, this blog of my favorite friends and family blogs to add to this blog from the other one, and I don't see the same promptings that I had when I listed them before. 
Seminary went well this morning even though I had to leave Elder M at the Makai chapel, while I dashed over to the other building.  I almost forgot that I had left him back there, I got "talking story" with a couple brethren.  He was almost the last one at the Makai chapel when I got there.
We helped at the PCC last night.  The crowds are cutting back down, I'm sure it's the January thing.  People recoup after the holidays.  If not for the Asian visitors, the tourist industry here in the Islands would really be at a huge loss.
Elder M and I are continuing our "study and preparations" for Institute this week.  We took the last two weeks off for the holidays, and the students are anxious to get back at the Book of Mormon.  It is the most perfect book.  I am reading, for special interest, a book called An American Gospel, by Erik Reece.  He is the son of a Baptist Minister who committed suicide at age 33, and g'son of a Baptist minister...  I keep thinking that people just don't "get it".....we have it.  As a missionary of the only true gospel on the face of the earth..... many others are good, but we have all truth, I can't help but think how sad it is, that many people looking for the real thing, keep missing the mark.
