Church Assignment/ Mission President

We met with Pres. MacCarthey of the BYU-H 2nd Stake and were asked to serve as mentors in the 10th ward with Bishop Meyers.  The ward is comprised mostly of freshmen students!  This will be a fun challenge trying to teach students how to function in various ward positions. We're grateful for the experiences and training we had while serving at BYUI. 
 
Enjoyed testimony meeting and hearing from students all over the world:  China, Trinidad, Philippines, Korea, Caribbean, Canada, Utah, Austrailia, New Zealand, Samoa, California and even Idaho.  They are all so grateful to be attending college here in Hawaii. 
Here is a pic. of the R.S. Presidency.  The pres. is from Korea, counselors from Japan & Singapore, secretary from Trinidad. Amazing young women!
 
We enjoyed a short, but great visit with our Mission President, President Bill & Sister Dalton. They are from Yorba Linda, California.  Dad told him about our son, Ryan, working for John Force.  Well, he knew all about John Force, loved to watch drag racing and the conversation escalated from there.  We talked about John Medlen, who was Ryan's mentor while he worked on the blowers (super chargers) and John's son, Eric who had been killed while test driving. (small world)
 
Pres. Dalton knew every single sister and elder serving in the Hawaiian Islands.  We mentioned Elder Marlowe from our home ward and they couldn't say enough great things about him, how he is already training a new elder and is proselyting in the most remote area of Hawaii.  He is dynamite!!!   What a great blessing to be here serving with all these "Dynamite" missionaries.  Aloha!
