We keep telling people we are trying to get things figured out. And we are still trying. The four military relations couples are going to meet with the Mission President in November. We think the meeting is to answer some questions and interact with the Mission President about the military relations program.
We are assigned to work with four wards in the Honolulu West Stake. Those four wards have most of the military members who are assigned to Pearl Harbor Navy Station or Hickam AFB. We are trying to attend all the ward councils of those wards and work with ward mission leaders and young missionaries in those wards. As you can imagine, we jumped from your pan into the fire! One of the bishops left us a phone message about talking in one of the wards near the end of November.
Since we have been here Elder Holland and Elder Schwitzer have been here and talked to the missionaries. We understand two other general authorities will be coming before the end of the year. It must be getting cold in Salt Lake? Or maybe this is one of the largest missions in the church.
We have a nice one bedroom apartment to live in. It is in a HOA. We can't get away from the HOA. It is located near the Aloha Stadium. Also located near the Airport, Pearl Harbor, Hickam and where several interstate and state highways have exchanges so it's a real spaghetti bowl of roads around us.
Love, Elder and Sister Austin
