Monday

We've been waiting anxiously for this night all year. It's carrolling time again with the YSA branch.  We went to our VCTM meeting this morning then got out early, waited for a couple who was going  to purchase our  boogie boards from us, they didn't  show then ran to the BYUH bookstore to return a tie and then into Costco and Sams and home to make and bake 5 dozen cinnamon (chocolate chip) rolls for tonight.  Found out tonight that the couple we were waiting for, the husband had a stroke last night and is in Honolulu in the hospital. So sad.  Hope he is okay.  He spoke in our YSA Branch yesterday too and did a great job.

So we ran with our rolls over to the Community Center (where we used to have church meetings) and waited while everyone gathered.  The guy with the trailer didn't come so we decided to eat first.  Had hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls, they were a hit, and then we sang some Carrols and then bore testimony of what Christmas means to us.  Then someone heard from the guy with the truck and flat bed, it was an hour after we were to start.  He was 20 minutes away.  We waited and then it started to pour ... rain...as only Hawaii can. So we left and came home, now it was 8:00 and we started at 6:30.  But we had a good turn out and it was fun.  Here are some pictures.  I had quite a few rolls left so sent a dozen home with the Sisters for their roommates and then we brought home a dozen and I froze them for breakfast on Wednesday with the District Elders here.  I also gave a dozen to the Hancocks upstairs.  All good.
