Biography
Myrtle
Ngit
Ung
Kwock
Aiu
was
born
on
12
October
1916
in
Honolulu
,
Hawaii
to
Chong
Kae
Kwock
and
Alice
Lo
Chee
(Chang)
Kwock
.
When
Myrtle
was
born
her
parents
gave
her a
Chinese
name
and the
nurse
in the
hospital
suggested
they also
give
her an
English
name
such
as
Myrtle
. She was
given
the
first
name
Myrtle
and
said
she was
grateful
her
parents
gave
her an
English
name
because
most
people
cannot
pronounce
her
Chinese
name
. The
Kwock
family
lived
on the
island
of
Oahu
then
moved
to the
island
of
Kauai
when
Myrtle
was
two
years
old
. There she
attended
Eleele
Grammar
School
through
the
eighth
grade
and
helped
her
parents
with their
dry-goods
store
. On
28
June
1937
,
Myrtle
married
William
Aiu
in the
Lihue
Union
Church
. They had
twin
daughters
Jean
Kalei
and
Joan
Kulei
on
3
May
1941
.
Myrtle
and
William
lived
in
Hawaii
for the
remainder
of their
lives
. In
1947
Myrtle
began
investigating
different
churches
to
see
if they had the
answers
to
questions
raised
in her
mind
while
reading
the
Bible
. She
became
acquainted
with
Elder
and
Sister
Cheney
from the
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
of
Latter-day
Saints
. She
joined
the
LDS
Church
and was
baptized
on
25
March
1848
by
Elder
Oather
Roper
at
Kapaa
Beach
.
Myrtle
later
fulfilled
many
different
callings
in the
church
and was
grateful
for her
new
found
faith
. She
gave
service
to the
church
for the
rest
of her
life
.
Abstract
<p>
This
manuscript
is
twelve
typewritten
pages
long
. The
first
ten
pages
are
Myrtle's
history
and
experiences
.
One
page
has
just
one
typed
line
on
it
saying
Myrtle
apologizes
for her
untidiness
. The
last
page
was
submitted
one
day
later
than the
first
eleven
pages
as a
P.S
. to the
previous
history
she
submitted
.
It
tells
about
how she and her
husband
got
involved
in the
motel
business
. The
original
history
is
slightly
messy
because
it
has
portions
where
pieces
of
paper
were
later
taped
on
top
of the
original
. This
may
have been
done
because
Myrtle
forgot
to
include
a
story
or
wanted
to
revise
a
story
. The
majority
of the
additions
are also
typed
.
It
is
still
easily
read
.
<p>
At the
beginning
of the
document
she
briefly
describes
her
family
and
history
, but
after
that her
family
is
rarely
mentioned
and
only
specific
events
that
took
place
in her
life
are
elaborated
. The
pages
that
follow
are
largely
devoted
to her
service
in the
church
,
describing
specific
callings
and the
years
she had those
callings
,
along
with her
spiritual
experiences
.
Many
of her
experiences
took
place
while
she was
away
from
home
,
such
as
when
she was in
Utah
and
Hong
Kong
. With
each
experience
, she
bears
testimony
of the
gospel
. She
tells
her
conversion
story
and also
mentions
an
experience
with
genealogy
. She
focuses
on the
little
events
in her
life
that have
made
a
difference
and
emphasizes
the
Lord's
hand
in these
events
.
