and i will also give you full details on how to become a volunteer.  i&#8217;m just soaking in more information and experiences because i know there will be many people i know coming here for sure.  even a day here will change your life.  when i was young, i never believed in angels.  but for the past few years, i&#8217;ve been meeting so many angels and there are hundreds right here at NHCC.<br

photos but not sure if i want to show them to you.  i don&#8217;t want to start a controversy.  haha.<br \/>\nlast day for me here as i&#8217;ll head back to the city tomorrow, do some sightseeing for a day, enjoy the culture, then jump on 3 flights back to hawaii.  many more stories to come so stay tuned.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>this is day 2 for me and as i sit in
