Tonight showed me how Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways. Keri from my old Logan ward showed up to church. She wasn't in the ward very long but she is a very sweet and very pretty lady. She has dealt with alcohol abuse and it was difficult for her to just try to be normal again. I know she has overcome a lot.

Once we caught up she immediately asked me about Curtis and if he was seeing anyone. He had just posted a 4th of July picture with a pretty girl and his little sister. I told her about that and she told me she thinks about him all the time and she asked me to give him her number. I told her I would certainly email him it on Facebook. Curtis is dating his little sister's former high school teacher. What are the chances? I am happy for Curtis and he deserves the best. He said it was good we were in the same ward together. I want Keri to be happy and I feel bad she won't be able to develop her relationship with Curtis now but there are a lot of men around here and a lot of activities she can attend and meet a variety at.

I think she likes Curtis partly because he didn't like her and he pulled back at the end. He is a challenge to her. She is nice and gorgeous. She has a testimony but she has fought very hard for it. She told me the reason why she comes to church is because she has been sober for the past 2 years and that is a miracle. I'm just going to do my best and be the best friend and fellow shipper I can.

I think Curtis led her on but then pulled back when he thought about what he was doing. She is very pretty so I think he messed that up but then once he realized what he did it was too late and he was just harsh with her after flirting with her a bunch.

I am proud of myself for going to the Draper 1st Sunday fireside. I knew it was Utah's attorney general Sean Reyes speaking. What I didn't know is he is Phillippino/Hispanic/Hawaiian !!! His mother passed away on Easter Sunday but she was Hawaiian from the Big Island. He often spent his summers there growing up. His father left the Phillippines to escape the rule of Ferdinand Marcos. His father grew up in a wealthy family but had to start out in the ghetto of California when he fled the Phillippines. Eventually they moved to a nicer area of California.

Sean attended BYU where he graduated Summa Cumm Laude then attend UC Berkley for law school. Since his parents and he were California residents his law school choice was purely economic. California residents pay a fraction of tuition prices. If he had attended any other Ivy league law school he would've paid in excess of 35,000. Because he chose to go to Berkley he paid 11,000. He has 6 kids. He wrote and waited for his wife to finish serving a mission to Romania.

He is charismatic and just AWESOME. I went up after to meet him. He said he had a database of his single friends and would match us up if we wanted that at the beginning of his talk. When I told him I was Puanani and also Hawaiian he gave me a kiss. I told him I'd send him my resume and include my spiritual resume too. He gave me his business card. Everyone wanted to talk to him. His picture doesn't look that attractive. In person he is extremely attractive and charismatic. I am so sick of every minority being democrat. It is sooo refreshing to find a Republican minority and not just Republican, Hawaiian!!!

He is what I'm looking for - those amazing leadership qualities AND he is very strong spiritually. He served in Chicago - Spanish-speaking. I am hoping his friends share his same qualities and that one of them will be a good match AND that he meant what he said. Since I have his card I am going to email him.

He was a bishop before in downtown 5 years after he was married, the ward covered the Marmalade district which has a high LGBT community. He talked about how he can love and fellowship people without condoning their behavior. What I didn't like about the Draper fireside is the older crowd. It reminded me of those single adult activities I would try to attend but then I'd want to scream because they all looked older than my mother in Logan.

Whatever I am very glad I met Sean and I intend to send him my regular and spiritual resume.
