Happy Mother's Day!
Sunday, the day of rest. But what do you do if every other day of the week is a day of rest, too? Well, since it was Sunday, we found out when the local ward met. I called a number a learned that it started at 10:30. We got ready and found the church easily. The theme for the day was motherhood (big surprise there). The talks were great and everyone was very friendly. One lady, Darlene, asked me to say the opening pray for Sunday School, so I did.
Darlene taught the Relief Society lesson. She was very funny and taught the lesson well. She also directed the music. She has a really great outlook on things. She believes that if someone asks her to do something, they really must need it so she says yes. She told a story of seeing that the Bishop was trying to get a hold of her on her caller-id. She sent him an email saying she doesn't get home until 11:00 each night, but so as not to waste his time, whatever he needed, the answer was yes. More people need to be like that.
After Relief Society Meeting, she invited us to her house to eat. We were very grateful. She invited another lady, Betty, over. Betty brought some ribbon leis, tea leaves, apple bananas, and mangoes. Apple bananas taste a little different, but I wouldn't say they taste like apples. It was good and so were the mangoes.
For dinner we had a wide selection of foods including hot dogs, sushi rolls, turkey or chicken wraps, chips, and potato salad. We had cake and ice cream for desert. After dinner, we sat and talked about many things. I felt at home. Eventually it was time to leave. We were there from 2-6 pm. Right before we left, Darlene showed me a little poi ball technique.
We went back to the campground for our last night on the beach.
