CONGRATULATIONS ELDER COSTALES!!!!!!!

ELDER CHRISTIAN CARLO COSTALES
WASHINGTON TACOMA MISSION
NOV 2007-NOV 2009

ELDER CHRISTIAN CARLO COSTALES (my brother) just finished his 2 yr Mission in Tacoma Washington last NOV 11, 2009. This was him 2 yrs ago.. in the MTC..


I just can't believe it's been two years. It went by so fast and just last night, Jamie and I were able to talk to him on the phone. He told us that he had a lot of stories to tell but since it was hard doin' all that on the phone..we would have to wait till we see him this coming December.

We are really proud of him. He surely is a better person now and this is because he has gained a stronger testimony of the Savior and his gospel. He has made the right choice to serve the Lord on a full time mission and I know that he will always treasure and remember this great experience. Like what they say..it's the BEST TWO YEARS.

to wayne..keep it up. never forget what you've learned from the field. You might not have your nametag anymore but you still can continue the work you have started. we are very proud of you. WE LOVE YOU WAYNE and welcome back!!

-Last week of October-

HALLOWEEN WEEK

This week has been really busy for Jamie and I. Jamie is having his midterms and I feel like I'm working non-stop. It's because it's the last week for The Haunted Lagoon Ride in Polynesian Cultural Center so it's been really crowded like almost every night. Though we had a really busy week.. I could really say we had so much fun celebrating this Halloween Season.

-Jamie and I were able to take the Sakaguchi's to the Haunted LAgoon. And since Mike and Becca couldn't bring the kids to the regular ride..Jamie and I took them to the Keiki (kids) Ride. It was fun.







and right after..I came to visit Joann in the dorms and I saw this really cool sign by the Hale lounge. only in BYUh!!! Great reminder!

Jamie's Dad and Rocio came to visit us in Laie..we had lunch and tried the Electric Back Massage chairs in Aloha Center. It's actually pretty good. They should've thought of getting this a long time..not just now when we're about to leave BYUH. haha.

wish it could be $1 for 25 minutes!!! lol.
