Aloha kakou!
Pehea'oe? How are you? I hope all is well with you. I have now been back home for a week and I am back into the swing of regular life. I feel different though. I feel like my experiences at AMC 2 weeks ago heightened my emotions and feelings. I appreciate everything much more. I think practicing my oli while delivering mail also helps with this.
