Don't Want To Forget

*Miracles upon miracles on our way back to Hawaii
*Family's expressions with their first encounter with the girls
*Discovering new nearby beaches
*Anxiously waiting to meet people in our new ward
*Getting to know our neighbors
*Library hopping
*Shopping at the commissary for the first time
*Asenath first time at the beach
*Me: keep forgetting to put sun screen on my little hapa babies
*Hiking Manoa falls
*Driving around the whole island hoping that Eve would fall asleep
*My papi playing with the girls in his silly way really warms my heart
*Having spiritual conversations with my brother's family in the living room
*The distinct flavor of a mango grown in someones backyard
*Seeing the temple for the first time after it's renovation
*Fresh Poki waiting for me

Let the ball keep rolling to making sweet memories

Juanita's Conversion Story

I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the desire to play softball. The fact that the Lord was guiding me to play softball became more evident to me when I was offered a scholarship to play ball at BYU-Hawaii. The thought of attending BYU-Hawaii just seemed right and good at the time so I attended college there. My first year in college I was so excited to learn, play, and party. I discovered real soon that the students who attended the university had fun without drinking. I also discovered that the people were faithful and they had a strong sense of purpose and Identity. This compelled me to go on a spiritual search. I decided to take the lessons from the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I took the lessons I was taught things that I heard before and things that were new to me. Such as the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. These were things that were a challenge for me to believe. So I took these challenges up to the Lord and I asked him if the Book of Mormon is the word of God and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I'm so delighted to share with you that I do know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that it's true because of the power of the Holy Spirit, because of these truths and much more I decided to be baptized and serve the Lord. Getting baptized was the best decision I ever made. It's because of this choice that I enjoy the blessing of life today. The church is true and I find myself indebt to the Lord forever.
