Sunday

We had a super week last week.  As is known, Elder Sanft has macular degeneration.  He has lost the use of his right eye and the doctor's are trying to help his remaining eye.  A month ago we went into his appointment and the doctor told us his eye didn't look good and she was concerned.  She said to come back in a month and meanwhile go see an optomologist to see if it was just due to aging.  We did that and that doctor said he couldn't help and to just get stronger reading glasses.  Our daughter ordered him some 450+ readers.  Well meanwhile we talked about about what if he couldn't drive any more, ...we'd get rid of his car, etc.   I have been driving most of this mission, due to no drivers license and it is too hard for him to get one in Utah let alone Hawaii.

Well,  we went to our appointment in Honolulu, and he went through about 2 hours of testing, and the doctor came in, looked everything over and said it looked really good, his eye sight was back to where it had been before 20/50 she was very surprised!  Tender mercies of our Father in Heaven, as well as a great miracle for Elder Sanft and I.

Saturday our sweet friend Anela Wells, whose son plays football for Kahuku High school called and said she had some Kahuku football shirts for both of us and invited us to the Homecoming game this.  We were feeding our sweet Sunset YSA Branch Sisters dinner but we went to the game after.

last night, I don't know what it looks so small here

We were late and hardly could find a place to sit but finally sat on the second row towards the far end zone.  Not long after my wonderful friend, Alan Uyehara, he's my old friend from CCH, walked by with his wife and they sat right in front of us.  Alan was married to another friend of mind, and moved from Laie to BYU to further his studies, and when we were newly married we got together a bit.  They had a new baby Jared, who looked like a little Budda, while I was pregnant with Doran.  I hadn't seen Alan but once in all that time until this past July when I met his wife at our "break the fast" for couples at the PCC and she happened to tell me who she was married too.  I was so happy to see Alan.  He had divorced from the other lady and married Dawnne, whom I love too.  She is from New Zealand and they live in Texas and are now here on a mission.  They are dorm parents at BYUH.  We love running into them.  You are never too old to start right out from where you left off in friendships. 

Alan's grandson was the Homecoming King, so is why they were there, to celebrate this occasion.  Here is a picture of Alan and his wife and his son Aaron, not the father of the Homecoming King but the uncle, Jared is the father of the King, and I didn't take a picture :)
