This weekend we were able to view the splendor of Rainbow Falls after church with our newly found friends. AND I found an organic market with lots of fun surprises.
First off, our church is absolutely darling. Built about five years ago it has a turquoise roof (my favorite) and an exquisite view of the ocean. We are extremely happy to have a church so close to our house and are very grateful for the kind members of our LDS ward.
Secondly, if you are in Hilo, we recommend making the journey to visit Rainbow Falls. We were privileged to view it right after a rain storm and, boy, was the water surging. It's a very shallow pool so when the water hits a huge spray of mist billows up; it's gorgeous. We were adventurous and explored some of the trails . . .not recommended in Sunday clothes after a rainstorm. Lesson learned.

Lastly,I found a great Organic Market not far from our house. Now, normally I wouldn't rejoice at such a find; However, after finding almost NO gluten free foods at other local grocery stores, I was almost crying when I realized pretty much the WHOLE store is gluten free. I realized then and there that I don't have to spend the next couple of years eating only fruits and veggies. I'm SO grateful for this little blessing. It makes life just a little sweeter. : )
Well . . .a tropical storm is just passing through currently but by Wednesday it should be all cleared up. Our ward is planning a Pioneer Day Party at Coconut Island on Friday. We are abnormally excited for this because it's a little taste of home . . .island style.
This weekend especially we are grateful for little blessings and for kind and thoughtful friends.
We miss you Utah . . .but we've Gone Surfing.
