This last Friday March 28th the churches youth was having a dinner fundraiser. My cousin Hebron was attending and so did his wife and son. my cousin Rebekah married to Hebron  my cousin(in law) was making cinnamon rolls for the dessert auction and my grandma Linda Handy was making a triple chocolate cake for it along with my aunts fancy Easter chocolate cake. When we got to the event I went with the rest of the youth to help serve others who paid to attend. Hebron was auctioning a Fijian wooden stick called the " Neck Breaker" it was said that Fijians would use the wooden neck breakers to kill any intruders who invaded their territory. With my cousin Hebron's humor he wrote under quick description " for the silent auction that the Neck Breaker was for "In case of a zombie apocalypse".  My grandma is a woman who likes to collect things from different cultures and things all over so when she saw the neck breaker she bid on it until she finally got it ha-ha. Well I have to tell you that when the desert auctioneer was auction off Hebrons wife cinnamon roll he bid on it for 80 dollars to get his precious cinnamon rolls back.

During my visit to the hospital the doctors made me walk and I thought "how can I go home tomorrow this is painful." later after days the pain was gone and I felt allot better so that was good. Hebron was back in Anaheim but I was still in San Diego with my mom recovering. I emailed my teachers to send my homework and I was getting behind in school and missed about a week and a half of school. On Wednesday the 12th of March I was back at school ready to catch up in my schooling. I would spend lunches with my teachers trying to catch up and I thought to myself "man its hard to miss so much schooling and catch up so fast". I kind of compared this thought to my cousin Hebron and how he came to America and work so hard under his circumstances and to try to become a successful football player. Hebron never gave up and that is why he is where he is today. I also know from Hebron and personal experiences that we are nothing without god and with god we are capable of all things. Hebron always shared that at the end of the day when players and fans are gone the only people who are left is you and god.

Hebron and his family were scheduled to arrive Saturday and I was supposed to go back to Anaheim Saturday as well but unfortunately I had appendicitis and my appendix was about to burst so I went in to surgery down in San Diego at Pomerado hospital which was the same hospital that I was born at. Hebron on the other hand stayed at the flight stop Fiji for a little while because his son Taulanga had an ear infection or problem. While they were in Fiji they had a great time and even celebrated Taulangas second birthday. They had such a great time that they made a video and shared it with the rest of the family. I usually thought that if I ever had to have surgery then I would be very scared or nervous but in fact I wasn't I was just looking forward to getting some rest during surgery and getting that appendix out. On of the many disadvantages during recovery and having stiches is that I can't lift weights for a little while and its even more of a disadvantage because Hebron can't train me in weights and what not. But as I am recovering my desire to lift weights is increasing so once I recover Hebron can train me.
