Urban Poly Princess

The talks were so good. President Foster one of the counselors in the Stake Presidency just impresses me more and more. I think he must be retired. In addition to his stake duties he is an ordinance worker on Saturdays. He related a story about someone he volunteers with once a week at a homeless shelter. He looks about retirement age. He is someone who personifies being anxiously engaged. I wish I were that great.

Today at my temple shift one of my friend's sisters got married. She is so pretty and it was good to see Laite there too. Polynesian weddings make me miss my culture. Despite that living in Logan made me see how nice it is to meet someone who is as intelligent as me. For years I would never even consider dating someone white. For many, many years. Living in Logan is the only thing that made me get over that.

I wonder if that's what Steve has a problem with. He is very naive about that stuff, I can tell. I don't like that but how different really was I? Now I don't think I'll marry someone Polynesian. Funny I had friends who were only interested in white men but I never got it. One of my first mission leaders told me I wouldn't marry someone Polynesian. I told him he was stereotyping Polynesians and that they weren't all the same.

I went to check out this Asian Store downtown called Ocean City. I bought shrimp crackers and a Lycee carbonated drink. I've had shrimp crackers many times before so it was nothing unusual but the lychee drink was delicious. I am definitely buying it again. I love my culture but I love that my nieces and nephews were never attached to the idea of marrying someone Polynesian. I think their attitudes are healthier. It is only the gay nephew who is dating someone Samoan. Most of them are married now and their partners are all white.
