Set up my second room/storage for my new stay at home workstation. Not bad of a setup and I'm meeting some of my colleagues today too. Let the workload begin.
Thank you Jerina and Evelina for our amazing sack package from Hawaii. Mika and I will enjoy every goodies that you have sent.pack
It was a pleasure to take a few snap shots of little Miss. Hiringa and her awesome dad Tony on her special spiritual day. Congrats Hiringa on your baptism. May God bless you in your life journey.
A yummy breakfast to start the day. Oh so good and worth the wait!

Growing up making and eating pickled mange has always been a favorite things to eat. Trying to make a good batch for me and Mika to enjoy this week. Wish me luck.
Not sure how this is going to turn out but I am going to give it a try. Hope it taste good!
I am so excited for Hiring and her decision to get baptized this weekend. Making leis is a fun and exciting time for me, especially for family and loved ones.
We were hanging out with Moana and Junior tonight and they wanted to check out this Hawaiian style barbecue place near her house. She said that the family is from Hilo, Hawaii, the Big island and they wanted to open a restaurant here in Utah. Mo and Jr said the food was good and we need to try it. So we are here and I ordered shoyu ramen and Mika got teriyaki beef plate. And boy was they right. Good food that reminds me of home and the environment was nice and simple. If you like this kind of island grinds, check this place out in Lindon, Utah.
Went on a family fun day at the Airborne trampoline park in Lindon, UT. The kids had fun and it was a memorable time for us all. Visit this place if you live in the area, even some of the adults were having fun here.
It's been a tough few days after Maikeli's passing and we are trying to get things done during this covid stricken world and handling the funeral arrangement. Mika's co-worker Zac brought him dinner from Texas Roadhouse and an envelope from of money from Adan , Ian and Zac. What a thoughtful gesture from his friends. The food was yummy and it was something that Mika needed, especially from his friends. Thank you Zac, Adan and Ian for your kindness and support for Mika at this rough time.
Trying to put together a lesson through Zoom is a bit annoying but I am getting through it. Not many of the kids join our class because the kids parents aren't active, so they sometimes dont answer our text when we send them the link to join us on Sundays. But hey to each is their own. So hopefully this week we will have a few more kids to join us and not be too bored with us as we teach the lesson.
... their souls kissed,
they kissed with their eyes,
they were both but one
single kiss.
