Thursday afternoon we flew to Kona and on Friday I met with Major Rodriguera of the Salvation Army in an effort to convince him to sell part of their property adjacent to the temple to the Church. (I've been asked by Church Real Estate to help out.) They have been planning on building a Thrift Store on the property and we feel there are better locations. I didn't make much progress but later in the afternoon I checked out two properties found by Chuck Corbe, the realtor who sold us our first condo at The Shores. Here's the two of us standing in front of one of the properties. The second property has promise and Chuck will show it to the "Army" next week.
Donna and I were able to attend an endowment session on Friday, between meetings, and another session on Saturday morning on our way to the airport. I was also able to do the initiatory for a cousin and a sealing of a son. Thursday night we had dinner with Tom and Dorothy Heers at our Shores #125 condo (they are renting it) and Friday night we had dinner with Phil and Olly Harris at Huggo's. We stayed both nights with the Harris's. It was nice to be back on the Big Island...it is like a second home to us...and we saw many temple worker friends Friday and Saturday.
