Here is a quick slide show of things happening in Hawaii. Your missionary may be in one of the slides and you may recognize some of the apartments. Sorry some of the pictures came out blurry.

Welcome
Hello Ladies,Welcome to the Hawaii Missionary Mom's blog. This blog is for you to share your stories, comments, ideas, concerns, pictures, or anything else you would like. Please share this with other Hawaiian MM that you know. I am excited to hear from all of you and get to know you and your missionaries better. If you are new to blogging then ask one of the young women in your ward for help. I am sure they would know how to help. I can also help if you need me to. Welcome and happy blogging.

Hi there - how about a list of Frequenty asked questions - or things you wish you would have known before your missionary went to Hawaii?
ReplyDeleteHere are some samples
Bike - Might need - buy one there if they do need one.
Umbrella - will need one
Money - will have about $115 for groceries and toiletries per month
Ties - this current President, Peterson isn't extremely strict about ties and colors that I can tell
What zones and districts and areas are there?
What do they eat? Rice almost every meal. They eat breakfast at home and lunch on their own, nearly every night a member family feeds them and some get sent home with leftovers.
Not too many weird things to eat, but some.
The members are every nationality, all asian nationalities, all pacific islanders also.
Shopping - just about anything can be bought there, except church publications, music and books.
Do they need checks? Occasionally they might write a check for something out of their own account.
Pdays - are Mondays - P-days they hike, play volleyball, fly kites, play sports, go to the zoo, etc. So they have fun. The Laie (Oahu) temple is closed for about 16 more months for renovations so the one temple in the islands is on Kona/Big Island of Kauai.
They don't need their temple clothing, just baptismal clothing. (I think)
Visitors - no friends, no family. Too distracting.
EMAILS - P-days are on Mondays in the field, they usually find an internet cafe and send Emails from there to family, but they can't email friends, just family, but they can
RECEIVE emails from friends. There is a 30 minute "timeout" on their Emails, so they need to watch their times and even maybe send a paragraph or two at a time, Miles' email timed out like 3 or more times and I got not
much, I was not happy!
I send all mail and packages to the Mission home, not their home address, that is easier if they get moved, transfers are
every 6 weeks, on Wednesdays
Calls - from airport Miles called me from
the airport and we talked for about 45 mins, I sent a phone card with him so that was good, he used it in the airport.
They can call home on Mothers day and Christmas, Miles used the missionary cell phone, it was Sprint, so he just used his Sprint to sprint minutes, so his brother had a sprint phone -so that was great....
