Time on a mission is over for some!


 This is a left over from our family vacation. Three incredibly awesome woman. Mahalo for taking this Angie.




The hardest part of a mission is saying goodbye to the ones that you have spent the most time with and learned to love during your mission. This is the way it is with Sister and Elder Griffeth. I have spent every work day since I have been here with Elder Griffeth and Sister Griffeth would be with us at parties and many luncheons. I got to know them both very well so when the time to say goodbye came it was very emotional but all good things must come to an end and of course as Hawaiian tradition goes: What do we do but have a party to say goodbye.


The pizza party with 8 large pizzas was a big hit with everyone and the first pizzas to go were the thin crust veggie pizzas. Who would have guessed that one? 
Here is one final picture of the "P" team minus Misi who is still recuperating and with Regina who has been my lifesaver for the past few weeks. She is amazing.
Regina Valentine and what a heart she has. Elder Griffeth, Pua an me. Love these guys.

Saturday was "P" day again. It has rained and rained and rained since November but we decided to venture our and go to the Botanical Gardens in Wahiawa on the other side of the island. It poured rain the whole time we were there but I did manage a few pictures of flowers that I have never seen before.
















































This is called a Jade Vine.


























 and some other flowers of which were very beautiful but I have no name for them.



Bud and flower. Both the bud and flower were very large in size.













These two flowers looked like pine cones.










           

I found these at the PCC
