Umbrellas - After arriving here and buying a couple of umbrella's, we realized that at times the winds can be pretty gusty and turn our umbrella inside out. After that, we ordered a vented umbrella that keeps the rain out, and lets the wind through.
Clothing
Your day-to-day appearance at the Center and in the community should reflect the dignity of your missionary call. Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, and other casual wear can be worn at home or for weekend activities but not at the PCC. Dress or casual shoes are acceptable at the Center as are sandals. Facilities workers may prefer wearing boots or safety shoes. Flip flops are not acceptable footwear at the Center for any missionary. Missionaries represent the Lord and His Church and should always act and dress accordingly, regardless of the occasion.
Elder’s Clothing
Elders need Sunday clothes - 1 suit, white shirts, ties, and dress shoes. One long sleeve white shirt is needed for the temple. Short or long sleeve white shirts are suitable for Sunday wear. Polyester ties last longer than silk ties in Hawai’i’s humidity. Depending on assignment, Elders wear casual pants with aloha shirts or short sleeved sport or golf shirts at the PCC. The PCC provides Elders with one custom-made aloha shirt and sulu (lava lava) for ticket taking and guest greeting at the PCC. While those are being sewn, the PCC provides a “loaner” aloha shirt that matches his spouse’s “loaner” mu’u mu’u. Elders working in maintenance assignments are issued clothing (shirts and pants) by the PCC. Elders serving in the Mission Settlement are given several “loaner” sets of aloha wear for every day wearing in addition to the “loaner” aloha shirt for ticket taking.
Sister’s Clothing
The PCC provides a mu’u mu’u for ticket taking and guest greeting. While that is being sewn, the PCC provides a “loaner” mu’u mu’u. The mu’u mu’us may be worn daily for PCC assignments. Skirts, blouses, and casual dresses are also acceptable every day wear. Sisters should bring comfortable flat walking shoes or sandals for everyday use and shoes for hiking and beach walking. Sisters serving in the Mission Settlement at the PCC will be given several “loaner” sets of aloha wear for every day wearing in addition to the “loaner” mu’u mu’u for ticket taking.
Sisters who will be on their feet a lot should consider supportive shoes. Several of the sisters here have found themselves struggling with Plantar fasciitis . It pays to prepare here.
Air Conditioning
Most of the sisters find that a light sweater feels great on Sundays in the air conditioned meeting houses, and in many of the offices that are air conditioned.
