Family Meeting

We actually had our first heart to heart, honest 

no holds barred family meeting tonight. It came 

about after my husband discovered my texts with

a couple of girlfriends who share the same prob

lem with me regarding their husbands. 

What is it? Well, all our husbands drink Kava.

[a cultural drink/polynesian] I won't go too much

into it, but you can google Kava Ceremonies. So

they usually will leave home at about 6 or 7 pm and 

return back home in the wee hours of the morning

say 4 or 5 am. maybe after 12 noon? 

Just last year, we had several problems where 

some of the Kava drinkers were having affairs 

with the girls serving the Kava drink at the 

ceremony and there were several visits to the 

bishop's offices and so forth. 

Well, the wives are secretly banding together to

do something about it and let our husbands know 

that enough is enough. Most of our hard earned

money is ending up going to the girls/ women

serving this muddy Kava drink, while the wives

are wondering where the paychecks are really 

going. Yes, this is pretty forward. But, I'm real

irritated about this whole thing and going to talk

about it anyway on here.

So he found out that we're writing letters that

to the prophet and voicing how much Kava is 

destroying our families. In Oregon right now 

they don't take away the temple recommends for

the men that drink Kava and that is what the 

letters are for. To plead with the prophet to 

set the rules they have in Tonga & SLC, to be 

the same here also. 

Yes, my dh is angry and shouldn't be after the  

problems we've been going through. But, these

wives need assurance that the right thing needs

to be done here. He's demanded that I not be 

involved in anything. From my point of view, 

I'm not going to say what I will do..mums the 

word here on out...lol.

My prayers are with my fellow sisters out there

who are struggling with this adversity in their 

families. I know God hears your prayers and 

they will be answered. 

God Bless....MPuanani
