Update

So we have been going to the beach, and actually having fun.. imagine that, fun in Hawaii. I have met some really nice girls and they are pretty good about helping me with whatever boy problem there is, or just fun to have girl chats with. We have chats almost every night after everyone is ready for bed and it is just fun to have girlfriends that know who you are talking about exactly since everyone knows everyone here, and they can tell you stuff if they have classes with them, because chances are, one of your friends has a class with one of the boys you think is WAY cute... trust me!! :)
School is ok, my pshycology class is the only class that physically drains me. I fell asleep in it one morning,(it goes from 7-10) not just dozing off, I mean my head was back and my mouth was WIDE open. Lots of kids are just taking fun classes like hula, or Book of Mormon classes, but somehow none of my classes are that easy except tennis. My Doctrine and Covenants class is probably my favorite, I really love my teacher, he teaches at BYUI. He totally reminds me of Sister Garner, it is AWESOME!! 
The weather is ok.... just kidding it is AMAZING! Sunny all the time, humid all the time, my hair has not been straight since I got off the airplane almost a month ago. It feels like I have been here forever, but it also feels like the time has been flying. For those of you wondering I do split my time between the beach and the library. If I have reading for my D&C class, I got a cheap set of scriptures for the beach, but i study pshycology in the library, which is like everyday. 
I am so greatful that I have had this opportunity to come here and learn lots so far. I absolutley LOVE it. I am also realizing that lots of my dreams are coming true. We will see how true they come in the next  couple of weeks, but I cannot believe it is happening right before my eyes. I know for a FACT that my Heavenly Father loves me, He knows me, and He has a plan for me and He will see to it that the plan for me gets carried out; at times I have doubted, but I am glad I listened to the Spirit and that I am here. I love riding the bus around here because it gives you missionary moments. The locals can tell if you go to BYU and they ask you. Then they proceed to tell you they love the Mormons that are all over the beaches because they look so happy. That is when we get to tell them they can be happy too and it really isn't that hard. Sometimes they laugh, but every once in a while we will talk to someone who is really interested. It gives me a glimmer of what my brother is doing, and I love it!
