Fasting and Prayers for friends – and the regular Monday morning meetings until the alert and off to the Hales to help a student.
Finished up the morning with a second student and an assist with meetings on campus.
Elder and Sister Fisher have been our neighbors, they live just below the hill and we see them walk almost every day and it is difficult to help them pack to leave.

It is a wonderful thing, working on a campus that offers a devotional once a week. AND The campus closes and it is possible to enjoy the spirit and information of the devotional without competing needs for that hour.
It does start right back up with student visits and TVA visits with couples and families.
Intern Class at the office and finishing up obligations to be ready to volunteer at the PCC:

We live in a bit of a bubble here on campus, but life on the mainland is still happening also:

We changed up our daily walk to the trail between Turtle Bay and Kahuku Point. We met new friends along the path:
What a fun start to our P-Day
Circled the Island again to pick up Rx, we were lucky enough to stop at the antique shop in Wahiawa that we’ve passed dozens of times and always wanted a peek inside.
Then we had a bonus surprise and met up with Tracy and Olivia Mayer at Winward Mall for an ice cream:
I found Moana at Supercuts in Kane’ohe last year. She has been my go to since then. She is moving on and I will be too, so this is our final time for a SUPER cut!
Then we rushed back North for our District 2 activity:
Car troubles kept two, caring for a friend another, and volunteering at PCC for the others. We were all together in spirit and I finally had a yummy Hukilau Taro Crust Pizza!
It is fun to keep up on “Goings on” back home too. Grandkids activities through Sunday FaceTime, and connections on neighbors and events through emails and texts. Congrats to our neighbor Karen Sowby and her induction into the Hall of Fame, here’s to our GOAT neighbor:

Happy Birthday Elder Armstrong!
I will finish this to send tonight and try again to upload this on the post.
I will end with a quote I really liked this week in my daily scripture study:
Remember, a teacher is also a student
As you dedicate yourself to living the gospel with greater purpose than ever before and search the scriptures, treasuring them up in your heart, the same Holy Ghost, who revealed these words to apostles and prophets anciently, will testify to you of their truthfulness. In essence, the Holy Ghost will reveal them anew to you. When this happens, the words that you read are no longer only the words of Nephi or Paul or Alma, but they become your words. Then, as you teach, the Holy Ghost will be able to bring all things to your remembrance. Indeed, “it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say” (D&C 100:6). When this happens, you will find yourself saying something that you did not plan to say. Then, if you will pay attention, you will learn something from the things that you say when you teach. President Marion G. Romney said, “I always know when I am speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost because I always learn something from what I’ve said.” Remember, a teacher is also a student.
Love,
Elder and Sister Hudnall
You two are doing great
We hope you are feeling better!
