Welcome to Hawaii!

As all of you know already, Collin is in Hawaii. His Mission President's wife sent these photo's to my mom of the first day Collin was there. He is in the "hood" of the Hawaii he says, in Makaha, Hawaii. He is biking almost 5 miles a day and is sure he has lost weight thanks to all the sweating, biking, and lack of momma's cooking/ Sonic. Collin and his companion are having great success and have 3 baptisms promised this month. In his last letter he left us with a great thought..

Don't be ashamed, Live it, Love it, Embrace it!

I got a little behind on posting because of the birth of Collin's first nephew, Beckett, but now we about to back in business so get ready for some news from the sunny shore's of Hawaii. BUT first.. We need to back track a little bit.

These are pictures of the day Collin left for the Missionary Training Center. His flight to Salt Lake City left very early in the morning from Amarillo. When he reached SLC, Ryan, Collin's brother, and his wife, Juliette, picked him up and took him down and dropped him off 50 miles south in Provo.

ALOHA!

Collin is officially in Hawaii! He arrived on November 1st. He called my parents from the airport let them know that he is doing great. He was going to be staying the night in the mission home the first night and then out in the mission field on the 2nd. How exciting! He did mention that he would love more letters from friends and family (something I'm sure all missionaries want).

Here is his new updated address!
