The view from our front deck one morning this week gave us a double rainbow. It never is quite as pretty with a small picture as it is in real life, but we wanted you to see it what our view is every morning. Some times there will be kite surfers out there even early in the mornings.



This has been a very busy couple of weeks in the Office of Honor and at BYU Hawaii for Elder and Sister McKell. We started about more cases this week than any other week that we have been here. We got about 10 Academic Honesty cases (end of the Winter Semester) and then our first illegal drugs case today. Housing found the marijuana in the dorm room but the girls had not come back to the room. One of the girls came to our Office today to turn herself in. I spent about 4 hours with the student and BYUH Security and Hawaii 50. I did the initial interview and then made sure that the other agencies were satisfied with the investigation. They let me take the whole thing. We will probably send two young ladies home that had not planned to go home at this time of the school year.


We have a small garden planted in the yard and we have a couple of tomato plants and the tomatoes are bigger than a golf ball. We can start to eat lettuce this week as well.






We had a Ward High Priests Social tonight at the Pavillion at the Church. There was more food there than at most Ward Family Parties. We took some pictures of the line, there were more trays of food than there were people. We had several couples do some songs and dance. There was a Bishop that is from Samoa that was wearing a sulu and would dance for every song played. He kept trying to get Eileen to get up and dance with him, but she never would. During one of the dances he climbed up a square cinder block corner post like he would have a coconut tree. It is so amazing to listen to these people sing, they all have beautiful voices and they sing parts and volume. There has been a Senior Missionary couple that also serve in the BYUH 12th Ward with us. They are going home to Colorado on Wednesday. The Samoans all sang them a farewell song in Samoan.




We have so many pretty lizards in the yard. It is fun to count them as we walk out to the car. Some days we see as many as 5 or 6. Then as we back out the driveway against the rock wall, there will be others sitting along there as well. I finally caught one with the skin on his neck flarred out. I have told my grandsons about the lizards, so this picture is for them.
