i hope they call me on a mission...

well, my nephew kalamaku gave his homecoming address this morning... he just returned from fiji this past thursday. he has matured quite a bit and is now officially the first of my father & mother's direct descendants to serve a full-time mission!

of course, i was doing fine listening to his talk until he spoke about the angels in our lives--both seen and unseen--and how he was assisted with dealing with his mom's passing from across the pacific. that's when i cried...along with a good number of other people in the congregation who have known ku since he was a tiny little boy and who were there last april when my sister-in-law passed away.

he's got a variation on a british accent...but he's acquired much more than that! we're grateful for his example and look forward to the coming years with him...

Oh to be a returned missionary and to be in the presence of one! That must have been an extremely spiritual meeting!

it was! the next day was my aunty hala's funeral, and ku gave the spiritual message...it was "awe"some. of course he's still adjusting to post-missionary life, but he's looking forward to the next stages...and so are we! :) thanks for stopping by!!! ...and for being a good example too! love ya!
