Mahalo - and Aloha oi to our friends, the Jeppsons
Aloha, dear Elders and Sisters!
A note about our departure from Hawaii and our arrival back in Taylorsville.
First, sisters, don't buy so much in Hawaii that you need a container ship to get it home. We (I) did, and man! We both had to work hard to get it packed up. If you do have a bunch, start early. I thought I was starting early when I mailed four book boxes home (came with only two) 10 weeks ago, but the other "stuff" ! Whew! It was hard for us.
Being home would be wonderful, if I could only find the house! Our renters moved and packed up nearly everything in the house (not part of the original deal); that along with all that we brought home, all the boxes we had mailed, and all the gear for five families returning to home base for a 4-day reunion get-away (Pineview Reservoir, vacation house Hawaii-style), and they all needed to sleep there the first and last nights! If you were deliberately trying to set up a scenario that would send a senior missionary couple over the edge of reason, this might be a good idea!
Despite all this, we are in good shape. We have been so blessed to have been with you all. You all are in our prayers every night; I especially think of those in the Center for Academic Success and I can visualize New Student Orientation, the flood of students through the door, the flurry of activity with the four missionaries there, Elder and Sister Larsen and Elder and Sister Wollenzien. After I stiffle my envy regarding the students they get to help, I think of all of you, at your duties and then at play and social activities together. What an adventure! We are so grateful to have shared it with you. We are grateful to the Lord, too, for finding a place where we both could thrive and help. We offer our testimonies that the Gospel is so true, and we can clearly see how the Lord has arranged for it to fill the Earth.
We send all our aloha,
Elder Gary and Sister Brenda Jeppson
