After yesterday's long flight from Salt Lake City to Honolulu we were greeted at the airport by Sister Konekoa, matron of the Laie Temple. They had arranged to pick us up and have a driver take our luggage to our apartment. After we got the bags put into the truck and it was on its way, President Konekoa and his wife took us to lunch at a place called Zippy's. Pretty good food and great company as we chatted and got to know each other a little bit. Then they brought us to our apartment where we were greeted by the neighbors and other missionary couple, the Fry's (Judy). The oriented us as to where things were in the apartment, garage, ward building etc.
We unpacked our luggage and started making a list of things we would need to pick up at the grocery store and Walmart to begin our 12 months in Hawaii.
Even though we were both very tired, our internal time clocks were still on Utah time. We didn't get nearly enough sleep. Hopefully tonight will be better.
We took a couple hours this morning to make a trip to Walmart (nearly an hour away) to get some supplies and stopped at Foodland to finish our shopping list.
We met with President and Sister Konekoa this afternoon to be set apart and receive some orientation. Then brother and sister Robertson took us independently on a tour of the temple and taught some procedures that we need to know. Tomorrow we will have two more hours of training from the Robertson's. Next week we will be on our regular schedules of three days a week.
All in all, a very good day.
