{Aloha 'Oe}

Just a few short weeks ago we bid the Reynolds aloha as they embarked on a new journey to serve a mission in Hawaii!


Right after their setting apart as "Elder and Sister Reynolds"

The call was originally to serve in Oahu ... but it turns out they were needed on Big Island (Kona-Kailua) even more.

They "dedicated" this mission to their grandkids (JP, Devan, Katelyn, Calvin, Wes, Saffron & Saffron's soon-to-be sister)

We think they are pretty awesome and felt lucky to be able to attend the evening they were set apart.


We dressed in our Hawaiian clothes to celebrate the occasion.  This was the dress I was wearing when Mike and I were married in the Honolulu Tabernacle in 2011!


Calvin and his Grandpa Jim have a special bond


Helping each other pin on their missionary name tags after the blessing.  

"If you're not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart -- painted, as Paul said, "not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God."



Special loves for Grandma after church!
