Aloha!Settling in on Maui and loving it! My new companion, Sister Wilson and I are exploring where we are and getting to know the ward and area. Our area is up country, and pretty rural. We live in a cottage on the grounds of the Church historical site, Pulehu Chapel. It has a pretty amazing history.
It's a bit of an adjustment to change from the city vibe in Honolulu, and I definitely left a little of my heart there. First Kaneohe, and then Manoa- and all my aunties and uncles, companions, other missionaries, friends- these people & places will always be special to me. Our new ward is wonderful too, and there's a lot of work to do- so we're digging in.
This week we explored the Haleakala Crater. It was freezing at that high elevation, and as we drove there, we passed through the cloud layer and at the summit, it felt like being on top of the clouds- I even had to bust out my puffer jacket that was way deep down in my suitcase. We also checked out Nakalele Point Blowhole & even though pictures of Hawaii never do it justice- I still try to capture it. It's referred to as paradise for a reason.
This week I'd just like to share this thought by Gerald Lund: "At times HOPE can lighten the load, and other times it strengthens the bridges." Lots to ponder on there...
Lots of love from Maui
Amore,
Sorella Miller
