Our Last Sunday

Our last Sunday in Hawaii started on Saturday evening with a tender mercy from Heavenly Father.  We had a great day at the beach and then Caleb began whining his ear hurt in the late afternoon.  I didn't think much of it because I figured he had water in his ear.  But, he continued to whine and then both of his ears began hurting.  It being Saturday, the hospital was our only option and Caleb had just been whining for a few hours I decided to wait on it and hope he'd get better.  I gave him some IB Profen and put him to bed.

It was only a half hour later and he was crying again.  I got him back to sleep only to have him wake up thirty minutes later again. I thought to myself this is going to be a long night.  Plus Bo and I had to speak in sacrament meeting in the morning at eight.  I asked Bo if he'd give Caleb a blessing.  We called one of our missionary friends Craig Earnshaw and he came over to help.  After the blessing Caleb slept through the night with no sign of pain and was better in the morning.  It was such a blessing to have him better and the whole family at church for our last Sunday.

In Hawaii on your last Sunday the ward sings "Aloha Oe" to your family after the closing prayer in Sacrament Meeting. Afterward some people in our ward brought up some lei's to say good-bye.  It was fun and we have a whole lot of lei's on display in our home now.

We also went on a walk out to Laie Point for the last time.  A nice couple offered to take a picture of us.  So here we are at the end of our street with those beautiful mountains and ocean behind us.
