This Alvin and Preetika Singh and Digi, students we took to Walmart and Costco on a Saturday. Most students do not have a car and the nearest shopping from Laie is in Honolulu or Mililani, or Koneohe, all of which are an hour away on the two lane Kamehameha Highway at 35 miles per hour. When you "go to town" you take some kids with you. We were all stuffed in the back seat because of Ann. Ann is a little old lady we met in Walmart who missed her bus. She had several bags tied to her walker and was sitting outside of the store. She asked Gil if he had a cell phone and would call her "special needs bus" which he did and found that it would be 2 hours or more before another bus came her way. We offerred to take her to her home in Koneohe because we go right past that town on our way home....she hesitated a minute and looked at our missionary tags then said, "well, if I can't trust you Mormons I don't know who I can trust." We gave her a bottle of cold water and tucked her bags in the back and hoisted her up front. She was delightful and delivered her safe and sound.
