mY Wild and fun loving gurlies....

It's been a crazy 2 1/2 weeks going on 3. It all started out with the Missionary efforts of inviting non-members and inactive families to a dance and luau that was held on June 10 at the Kalihi chapel. Our youth was invited to do a Tongan number. Thank God, my brother Bishop 'Alamoti Taumoepeau  was able to come out to Waipahu and teach the youth a number which they learned in one night. With a lot of yelling and threats on my part and the patience of the other youth leaders the night turned out to be a success.

The morning after the performance/dance at Kalihi which ended at 1am, we had an early morning hike. We planned to meet at the chapel at 7am. Moni and I were 5 mins late, and thinking that there probably wouldn't be that many youth because it was such a late night the night before. To our surprise, there were at least 10 youth waiting already. We were quite impressed with the turn out. We hiked about 5 miles that day....boy, was i exhausted!

Our youth are Troopers!

Break at Blaisdell Park before heading back

We arrived back at the chapel at about noon and were exhausted as heck, thirsty and hungryyyyy! We were blessed that when the Bishop Nau and Litani Tuiono (one of our YM's dad) arrived they felt sorry for us (lol) so they treated everyone to McDonalds....had the best McChicken everrrrr! All the youth rushed home to get ready and return to the chapel for a YM that was gonna get baptized.

At 4pm the same day (Saturday 6/11/11), Londene Manu known to many as "Braddah" got baptized. Braddah is a big guy in stature with a voice that is as sweet as a child. A very humble young man who I've come to respect jus by watching his mannerisms and positive attitude.

The following week Tuesday (6/14/11) we started girls camp, which ended on Friday (6/17/11). I was super excited and had a lot of fun with the girls, leaders, and parents. The girls were in for a surprise....lol!I had them put up there own tents, and cook their own meals literally with no kind of help from me besides my motivating by utilizing my yelling skills. I had to leave on Thursday a day early but was very sadden by the time I left. I got to spend quality time with the girls and through the couple of days I was with them, they grew on me a lot! I loved every minute with my Young Women!!!
