In Girls Night Out Thanksgiving Thoughts

I had a fun week with my 5 girls...



This past Thanksgiving weekend was a fun and enjoyable time with my 5 nieces, Olimpia, Anessa, Nadira, Alema & Anzehla. Ice blocking was the most exciting and tiring activity we've done. Going down a a steep hill and climbing back up was exhausting. Fun but tiring. Seeing their faces with excitement and fun just lighten my evening and my whole weekend. Doing painting projects, Scripture Jeopardy, American Idol, spin the bottle, "Are you smarter than a 5Th grader and many other games and activities was just sooo fun. I'm glad to have spent my Thanksgiving with them and with Etivise and Mika. How often have each of us spend quality time with the ones we love and the ones that we know but don't know that much. I know for a fact that this Girls Night Out had a big impact on my sister-in-law, Vise. She would tell me how she enjoyed talking to the girls and seeing their individual personality throughout our activities. To me I want each of us who loves and cherish their relationship's with their families or friends, to make an effort to spend more time with them, get to know them more better than you think you did. Trust me it would go along way. May my 7 nieces that came that night have a wonderful life and treasure the moments and memories that will guide and help you along the way.

In Dog Pet

In loving memory of Proverb!!!



It was sad news to hear that the Tupuola's beloved dog Proverb died on October 28. She was a good and loving dog towards the family. I'll miss her running through the door and greeting Mika and I in the drive way. It's sad to know that she's gone, but I also know that she's with our Heavenly Father safe and sound. We love you Proverb and you'll be missed!!!

In Family History Genealogy

Family Search Indexing...helping the world locate their ancestors online!!!!



For the past month I've been doing a helpful cause for the world. Thanks to the Church, I was able to provide information for everyone who is looking for more information about their family through the Internet on the LDS.org website. The cool thing about this is that you download the program(which is free) and take the image and type in all the info. on a chart and upload it when you're done. This helps the church by taking all copied images from the Church Historic/Genealogical storage unit info. put in their system and have volunteers(like myself) to do the work. This can also help families around the world to do their Temple and Genealogy work for the dead. It's pretty interesting to read the different styles of writing and read the names...talk about funky. Doing the work through indexing helped me allot in finding more options for me in finding my family names and to help others who are searching for the right information. I wanted to share that with you all and I hope we all do a little something for those afar and who past.
You can go to www.familysearchindexing.org or www.lds.org for more information.

01. I love my Honey, Mika very much. I love my family and friends for being there for me. I love the Gospel for being my one true foundation and I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for creating me both Spiritually and Physically to have the opportunity to live in this dispensation and to be his instrument in whatever may come of me to do. But most importantly, for the sacrifice that Jesus done, in order for me to return back to them one day.
This was the most funest thing for me to do in a long time. Hopefully I could continue on greater and happier things in my life than the bad. My life would only be a mystery to everyone, if they don't take the time to know me for me.

For all those who read the book "The Great Gathering" by Chad Daybell last year and enjoyed it. Today is your lucky day, the 2ND book "The Celestial City" is now in stores now. Mika and I bought it yesterday and finally finished it about 2 hours ago. Talk about a crazy yet cool adventure. I don't want to tell you anymore, only for you to either borrow it from either Mika and I or you can buy your own copy. But we recommend you to read it. So much goes on and once you read it you'll never put it down. I hope you all are doing well. May God be with you all at these hard times. Luv ya, Jay and Mika

In Food Storage Preparedness

Food Storage....




OK I'm a total sucker for buying things for lesser price...and this week has been awesome. All my life my mom, pops, family and friends would always tell me, "Jay, you should start on your food storage and you should use coupons to save!" And sometimes this is my response, "Okay!?!, I'll try, but I'll see how much money I have to buy whatever on sale!?!". Well I grew up on using coupons on a daily basis. I'll sometimes use it to get something for free at Smith's or Albertson's. I'm not a major coupon user, unless I'm for it with good stuff, but recently it changed my way of thinking. So I got this call from my Sis-in-Law, KAT. And she told me about the best way to save money is to use coupons and to check out this web page on Bebo. So it sounded pretty good to me. I checked out the site, while my mental half of a husband talked to Kat and was like totally FOR IT!! We tried it out, got some coupons and saved allot of money. What an eye opener!! I'm grateful that the Lord open the way for me and my Hubby to save more money on food, cleaning stuff, bathroom stuff and more. I knew there was great opportunities out there and I just didn't care until I realized how times are starting to get more harder than before. I know that this opportunity was a prayer answer by the Lord, and I'm grateful to have awesome spirits like Kat, Lei, Mike, my Mom, and many family and friends to help Mika and I when we need that extra boost. Thank you all and I hope all of you start on your FAMILY FOOD STORAGE and 72hr. Kit. You may never know when something tragic might occur in your neck of the woods!!
