I never really thought about it while it was happening, but our Hawaii section instructors have put in so much time and effort into this production. I thought it was hard for me to wake up at 5:30 every Saturday, but they have to do that on top of choreographing the dances, teaching us the hula, and organizing our costumes and other things. They do at least two times as much as the rest of us. These instructors are a great example of selfless service. They aren't getting paid or compensated for what they are doing, nor do they seek for praise. What they do comes from the goodness of their hearts. I am so grateful for their selfless service, because without them we wouldn't be performing next week. I hope that as I continue on with my life I will continue to seek out opportunities for service just as my instructors have.

Day 61
I'm surprised I haven't mentioned it yet, but since the beginning of the semester I've been waking up at 6 am every Saturday morning for luau practice. This year I decided to be in the Hawaii section which just happens to meet at the earliest time...go figure! Haha. Anyway, today we had dress rehearsal and it was the very last day that I had to wake up this early on a Saturday! So I guess there are two things that I am grateful for. One, I can sleep in till whenever I want next weekend. Two, because I decided to do BYU Luau, and specifically Hawaii section, I've been able to make new friends, learn new hula, and have the wonderful opportunity to share the Hawaiian culture. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
