This is my maiden Name, My brother Jim is the only one carrying this name and his son Aaron.  Very few of us left, so this gathering was special in that we were finishing our mission in Hawaii, and brother Jim came to Hawaii to meet with us three sisters.  Angie's daugher Gracie and her daugher Gabby, Jim's daughter Mel, g'dau.Mel and another dau. Carly.  My son Jace and his family on my side, and sister Bobbie's sons Josiah & family, Ricky & dau., Cynthia/Louie & family, Carl & family.....a great time together to renew our familial ties.  A great day

Wrapping Up

The previous posts are photos  from the past two weeks of events that I have been wanting to include of things that we are going to miss. We had our last Seminary Class on May 13, said our goodbyes, hugs, kisses....all the Classes had breakfasts, except for one, that had a testimony meeting.  She will send us a photo of the class.  Graduation is this Sunday the 16th, and we fly home the next day, May 17, to be released on the 18th.  Sniff, Sniff.....it is time, to end this adventure, and move on.  My family members here are coming over to Kakela Beach today for a gathering.  Swimming, and eating, and getting better acquainted with each other.  I will take pictures and show my family in a Reunion setting, Hawaiian Style. Elder M and I have mailed home 5 boxes of "stuff".  We have cleaned most of the apartment that we can, while still living in it.

To all you precious young mothers

It's a beautiful day.  Happy Mother's Day.  We woke up early this morning, and drove to Kaneohe to Valley of the Temples...I wish I had a picture.  It was absolutely brilliant.  The Ko'olau Range in the background, the blossoming Ohi'a tree, and the decorated gravesites.  My mother, Agnes Ululani Nahale'a Luahiwa Grace, My aunties Mary Nahale-a , Rose Luahiwa was nearby, so we could decorate those too, my last one here for this event.  We are calling Jay's Mom right now.  She is a dear, we love her so much.  We are blessed indeed to have been born to such fine women.
