Waves, Shrimp, and Tickets Please!

Tues. Night - We heard the surf was high so we went up to North Shore to check it out. When the surf starts to get high, the locals know that fall is here. So fun to visit and meet people on the beach. Would this be considered proselyting?!  We stopped at a local Shrimp Shack.  Yummmmy garlic shrimp served with 2 huge scoops of rice.

Oct. 10 Wed. night we took tickets for the first time at one of the Luaus.  We're assigned different locations each week and are required to wear matching muumuu and shirt.  It was great fun to greet the visitors and watch them smile as beautiful orchid leis were placed around their necks.  When we're finished, we eat free at "Prime Dining". Crab legs, prime rib, macadamia crusted chicken and macadamia nut pie, just a few favorites.  Some sweet students, some returned missionaries, serenaded us with their ukuleles as we ate.

 

It's a very HOT fall since there are no trade winds right now to cool us off.  We love 7 a.m. when I take Gary to work.....it's about 73 and we have lots of energy.  By 2 p.m. we're walking very s- l-o w, just like the locals.

 

Elder Reynolds is  becoming proficient at navigating the roads to and from Mililani and Honolulu area. We've had fun finding favorite stores Costco, Wal Marts and of course TJ Maxx.  Saturday, as we were leaving Costco, I tried to purchase a hot dog, but the window closed just as I got to it. Some sweet Hawaiian lady came running and insisted I have her hot dog and drink.  She saw my name tag, wanted to know where we were serving etc.  It was only a hot dog, but a special act of kindness for a hungry missionary.  It seems there are tender mercies every day.
