We’re in our sixth day at the Laie Hawaii Temple Visitor’s Center (if I write and say this enough times, it’ll flow off the pen/tongue…). The job is neither difficult nor complex. It’s just plain, outright fun. While at the Center my day mainly consists of greeting people who come to the Center and taking pictures for them of their group. The grounds are beautiful and the temple sits majestically on the hill making for a great backdrop. Helping take pictures is a very effective way to open a conversation about the Temple and about the Church in general. Most are then interested to come inside and see what else we have to offer.

Oceanic Time-Warner Cable will be here on Thursday morning between 7:30 am and 9:30 am (with a guarantee that removes the installation charge if they aren’t there within the scheduled time) to install our Internet along with basic cable TV. The printer did not survive the travel across the ocean … HP Support determined that the carriage mechanism for the print head is damaged. Another printer is on it’s way. So, at the moment we have (expensive) hot-spot Internet and no printer. By week’s end that should all change. All but one of the boxes that we shipped over from Pocatello have been delivered (the ham radio has arrived). The main living area looks like home. We’re definitely getting settled in!
