Happy New Year!


Donna and I were in charge of the New Year's activities for the sisters and elders.  (We now have six elders in the VC zone.)  We began with a dinner at the stake center adjoining the VC.  Menu: Kailua pork sandwiches and BBQ pork sandwiches, salads, beans, etc.  We got the Kailua pork from the PCC at a great employee discount.

After dinner we moved the the VC for a "talent show."  I was the MC and shared the magic trick "Flags of All Nations."  Next we watched the movie, "The Other Side of Heaven," thanks to a permission letter we got from Mitch Davis (Dave, Linda and Steve's contemporary from the San Pasqual ward) who produced this movie about Elder John Groberg's mission to Tonga.

Last, we went back to our "PADS" and had ice cream sundaes in the driveway followed by watching the locals shoot off fireworks like you wouldn't believe!  Actually, they have been shooting them off for the past week.
