Senior Missionary Moments

 Our friends Jon and Marti Lelengren came over to Maui.  She is the office secretary in Honolulu and he is going to take over the travel job that Jeff and I have been doing for 5 months now.  We got to go to the beach on Saturday afternoon and go to dinner at Maui Gardens food trucks too.  It was fun showing them around to some of our favorite places.  It was a business trip and so we spent some time training Elder Lelengren for the travel.  Jeff did a really good job creating a document that had most all the information on it for him.  Jeff is really good at that and he spent a few hours training him which was great.  Marti and I have so much in common and are becoming fast friends.  She is a yoga instructor and so we had fun talking yoga and some of our favorite places to do yoga back in Utah.  

Tonight (Sunday) we got together with all the missionary couples here on Maui plus the Lelengrens who are visiting.  We now have 4 Sr missionary couples plus one set of Service missionaries here on Maui.  So tonight we maxed out the Marriott's home at 6 couples!  That's the most we have ever had at one of our dinners.  The Marriott's are so sweet to always host us.  They have the biggest apartment.  Just last week a new couple flew in and they are going to be serving in Hana. It's pretty rustic out there. It is a very small Ohana apartment with the kitchen outside and presently it is under construction as they are re'doing the deck.  So they don't have access to a washer and dryer right now.  Ugh!  I hope they will be okay. They are just a darling couple and a little bit younger than us.  The Sherwood's are from South Jordan Utah.  We all had a riot at dinner. The Marriott's are the best hosts.  We all feel such a kinship being over here in Maui and serving together.  There is so much work to be done here!  Keep following along as we go!
