There is so much to sayabout Hawaii. First of all the flight from Arizona took 6 hours. When I first got off I felt like there was too much waster and not enough breathable stuff in the air. I stayed with my cousins, the Kimballs for the dirst 2 days before I was to move to my dorm at BYU. They were so nice to me. The older girls especially, who rarely had cousins who could aford to visit. I could understand. Where I am at the Kimball's house, the campus, and the temple are just a little walk away. Cool as this is I now walk constantly. The room I finally ended upo staying in is a nice hotel room compaired to the other dorms: 2 beds, desk, fridge, nice wooden closet (most people get locker looking stuff), drawers, and a hug wall ready for decor. Kaydee mace is my roomate from Texas and we get along awesome. I have so many friends hear already I don't even have room in my brain for that many names so quick. A lot of them are boys too. Most of them are pre-mission, but I have never had any guy friends before. Besides Michael of course, who comes home in about 8 months!!! Where was I...
I visited the PCC. No job opportunities for white girls, but it was really cool to see the canoo carnival and coconut peelers! I tried peeling a coconut by myself afterward. It took him 5 seconds with a little stick. I used the Kimball's pick axe and got nowhere. Chickens run wild in Laie, Hawaii. Every morning at 7 beautiful roosters harold the suns rays and wake up all the poor sleeping college kids who partied so hard they forgot to brush their teeth before they crashed in bed. I went to Sunset Beach the other day and rediscovered my fear of sharks. Of which none appeared. More recently I went to the mall with some friends, on bus that made me feel so very motionsick for the entire hour. When we got there we took pictures by this wierd blue stop sign and basically had a culture night with Chinese soda you break open with a marble, authentic sushi, and Japanese icecream treats called mochi. I just didn't like the one rolled in fresh tuna. Everything else was yummy. We ended up being the last ones out because the Kaneohe mall closes at 9. Haha! So far my classes are a cinch and I wish I had signed up for more. Every class begin with a prayer and teaches gospel principles along witht the subject matter. It just makes sense that way. We had Elder Bednar visit the campus 2 days ago. He spoke on being Truly Converted. I drank it all in. This experience at BYU has been amazing so far. I can't wait to see what comes next. If you get the opportunity to come here take it!
