What a crazy summer it has been. I did the spring semester at BYUH which is already a short and fast semester. You sure have to stay on top of your workload if you want to breathe and enjoy life. But despite all that went on, I managed to go to 3 Islands and 2 states. What a crazy summer. I have been so awful at blogging which is so sad because I have had some awesome experiences. So I am just choosing right now to start publishing and working hard on them.
Anyways, I just had a wonderful crazy week in Utah and Colorado. Gavin and I went to Colorado to spend time with his family before he left for his HEFY trip to Belize. We had a red-eye flight to Colorado direct but the day we were flying out Gavin's house was broken into. When I say broken into I mean the door was unlocked. But someone came in unwelcomed and took everything they could in the living room with their arms.
That morning after our run I needed to grab my wallet, scriptures, journals, and stuff inside Gavin's house because we were leaving for the mainland that day. Well, when we saw his car was gone and his keys and wallets we panicked.
We called 911 and they came and were filing a report. That's when Trent noticed that his iPad was gone along with Wyatt's car. We were tracking the iPad on Trent's phone but the police were being so slow when it was coming to filing the report that they said they wouldn't follow the car because that was risky and could be dangerous.
So as soon as they left we booked it down Kamemaha Hwy and followed the ipad. We were stressing out because we didn't know what car the iPad would be in or even if it would be in a car. Our only hope was to find the cars and hopefully get our stuff back.
We circled around Honolulu for a while. We weren't exactly sure where the car was or where we were going when low and behold we saw Gavin's car parked on the side of the street. Like what even...
Right then we saw a policeman on the street and we were able to get the car back but not the one who stole it.
When we were allowed to open the car we found empty wallets, Gavin's color blind glasses were gone, speakers, AirPods, clothes, bags, car title, insurance, and so many other things. We couldn't believe it. The car also smelt of smoke and had drugs in the back. It was awful and we felt so vandalized.
We couldn't stick around to try to find the person because we had a flight to catch that afternoon. So we rushed home packed and went right to the airport. We didn't have any money or cards but thankfully the both of us had our passports and were able to use those to get onto the airplane. Still, nobody likes the feeling of being robbed. Like nobody. It was horrible. And I felt so bad for Gavin because all of his things were stolen.
People slowly heard about Gavin's glasses being stolen and all that happened and by the time we landed n Colorado we had over 1,000$ to get him everything he needed. It was so sweet and we were both in tears at the kindness of strangers and friends that helped us out.
Overall everything happens for a reason. I was so mad at first because this is the 2nd time my wallet has been stolen in Hawaii and so many things had been taken from me. They take more than items, but memories and it's a horrible feeling I wish nobody has to go through. One thing I just keep remembering is that physical things are temporal and even though it's a pain to replace relationships and people still matter most.
So here is a pic of us getting Gavin his new glasses and things before his HEFY trip. God still does look out for us!
