War Zone

Dear Family and Friends,

After being in Hawaii for almost two weeks we felt it was time to let you know that things are terrible here! The sea breeze throughout the night is so constant and the palm trees unrelenting waving causes us to become dizzy when we spend too much time sipping virgin pina colodas under their shade. Surely this must be dangerous to our health, for who knows when one of “them thar” coconuts could fall from the tree and cause serious damage!
We must keep a constant vigilance to stay out of harms way, but for ‘the cause’ we are determined to overcome the elements and push forward with the goal in mind.

Others have gone before and suffered great hardships for The Kingdom and we must prove we can also endure without complaint. We promise to “buck it up” and push for the end zone.

We will report again after we have survived our first few weeks of sunrises and sunsets that are nearly unbearable in their intensity; but again, without pause or looking back we will pour on the sunscreen, do our usually morning and evening walks on the beach and occasionally the golf course…and be careful of errant golf balls which, as you know, can be projectiles of death if one does not walk with caution!It’s a true war zone!!!!

We will report again regarding our sacrifices on this desert island. We have great hopes that Bob will soon have his own mango juice dispensing machine right in his shop. It is quite a ride on his “private tool cart” to go into the Polynesian Center’s Banyon Tree area each time he wants to quench his thirst!

Yes, we are happy, well, loving life, working HARD. We are truly happy to be here together as otherwise living in this ‘war zone’ alone would not be the Paradise everyone claims it to be!Hope this finds everyone well and happy. We love the gospel and proclaim it’s truth. Have a great day!

Love forever and always,
Elder and Sister Remund
