So I've been in Hawaii for five days now. I cannot tell you how much I love it!!!!!!! Really, there are no words. The setting alone is perfection. It has been kind of overcast and just absolutely beautiful. Reason enough for you all at home to be jealous =].
This past week has been a lot of orientation stuff. We did a service project at the PCC (Polynesian Culture Center) and had some meetings about different stuff. Those were good, nothing extraordinary though. After the service project we got a breakfast put on the by PCC and that was extraordinary! These Polys know how to eat!
We've also gotten to go to the PCC. That was my favorite part so far. We spent the day there in our tour groups. I was in a group with five Asian guys. Can you say fun??? They are so awesome, I think I'm going to be good friends with them all! I had to give them all nicknames though because I can't pronounce their names! The PCC is really neat though, I fell in love with different workers a few times, and I get to go to school with them! It's perfect. We also got to see the night show. That was very impressive. They have some awesome dancing skill! It is so cool to see it and know these are my classmates.
Saturday was my dad's birthday. I spent the whole day with my parents just going to the swap meet and target. haha. we know how to vacation! It was really fun though, I'm enjoying the time I get to spend with them here before they have to go home.
Today, Sunday, I went to my ward for the first time! It is a really good mix of new and old students with boys and girls and LOTS of diversity, but that's inherent here. It was really fun, I know I am going to make good friends with the people in my ward. They are all super sweet and welcoming. I went to temple beach with my parents today, that is a great place! It is like a three minute straight shot walk from campus and it is so pretty! I have a feeling I will spend a lot of time there!
Well I start classes tomorrow! Wish me luck! Aloha and I'll write back soon.
Loving and missing you all
Maggie!!
