Here is our mission blog for the Polynesian Cultural Center. We served for two years and worked very hard in an office with BYU-H students. We were on many committees representing different areas of the PCC. We provided service to them to see how we, through research and data, could help with customer satisfaction and decision making.
We conducted many surveys, customer mapping, mystery shopping and luau comparative studies. We also helped in the evenings with luau. We kept busy enough that we often forgot that we were even in Hawaii. Ha ha.
For about 6 months, while waiting for a new couple to arrive, we forfeited our Saturday P-day to serve with the Bakers at the Mission Settlement within the PCC. Chris taught ukulele lessons with Bill and I helped in the shop with Jeanie. We ran the cash register and sewed all kinds of things to sell at the shop. We just loved this experience and love the Bakers.
Many of our blog posts are from pretty places we went on p-day or for mystery shopping or luau studies. Even though our predecessors got reimbursed for travel and lunch etc, we did everything on our own dime so as not to impact sacred funds and also because we thoroughly enjoyed the experiences and felt it was the right thing to do.
When we had our exit interview with President Grace, he told us to never stop saying Aloha. :)
Aloha!!
