Sister Uber and Checking Off Items on Our Bucket List

We were excited when one of our student workers, Prince,
received an acceptance to Penn. State's MPA program.
Prince was born in Ghana and was bullied as a young
man leading to a broken arm. He never received proper
treatment for it and so he eventually had to have it amputated.
He ended up in an orphanage run by a Mormon man and
joined the Church. He is such a hard-working, eager and
pleasant young man. He is a pleasure to be around.

This month our office had a huge event, The Asia Pacific Career
Conference. We brought in over 50 employers in addition to
Church Self-Reliant Managers from the Asia Pacific Area.
They learned how hard-working and capable our students are
and about the vision of the University and Polynesian Cultural Center.
They met, interviewed, and were impressed by many of our students.

Keni Kalama from our office arranged for their own personal
Hukilau so they could learn more about the Hawaiian culture.
The APCC was a huge success and hopefully will be an annual
event. One of my duties was to shuttle people to and from the
 airport. That is why they call me Sister Uber.
It was fun to see our nephew Mark Owens. He was here for a photo
shoot and also to lecture to the photography students.

We crossed one thing off our bucket list, visiting
the Bishop Museum. Our time to leave is fast
approaching. We have just a few weekends left
before we leave May 11th. 



We have only 2 more times to serve at the PCC. Here is Bill
with Elders Humphries and Crookston. They were snitching treats
from the luau where we were taking tickets.
