.....my first day of serving in the Mt.Timpanogos temple. It was most rewarding. I had some wonderful trainers...Laurie Taylor, Donna Barnes...everyone was so kind and helpful. All the worry beforehand was unnecessary. Jay was able to step right in where he left off before. He didn't miss a beat. He remembered everything from two years before. Laurie knew McQuiveys in Vancouver, WA. Donna knew me from the AF 10th ward. Ruth Baker was mom McQ's V.T. and I saw Eva (Shelly) Wright. Another gal knew Raul and Karen from VA. and I was asked if I was related to Lee McQuivey. I use my full first name on my badge, Mililani. I love that name, that my g'mother Mana Nahale'a named me Mililani. My generation has their Hawaiian names in the middle, but mine is first, then the middle name of Bess, yuck! My sister Bobbie tells me my g'mother wanted Best, but our mother changed it to Bess. I was teased Bessie the cow when I was growing up. Oh well, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me"
Later that evening my dear friend, Gwen took me to a Pottigee Comedy show at Thanksgiving Point. The comedians were, Frank DeLima, and Augie T. I literally laughed, belly laughs. They were so funny. Loved it tons. Augie kept talking about our mountain "tapaningos" and every other pronunciation he could destroy. Soooo funny.
