Hawaii - Day 3

We spent a quiet leisurely Sabbath morning and then attended church at noon about a block from where we were staying. It was pouring rain, so we drove. This was a great ward, full of warm friendly people who made us feel welcome and cared about.

After our meetings, we baked our pizza for dinner and then went to the temple grounds. So peaceful and beautiful. We learned the temple will be closed as of Dec. 27 for 18 months to get some much needed renovations.

They grow the biggest, most beautiful hibiscus and the temple grounds are covered with them.

Looking from the steps of the temple out!

Jonathan and Lindy then dropped Gaye and I off at a spot on the BYUH campus to enjoy a fireside where Sheri Dew and Wendy Nelson were the speakers. We got there early and sat on the front row. We weren't sorry. They were inspiring and we came away filled. There was a choir called Musical Truth who sang several songs during the evening and they brought a spirit to my soul I can't explain. Their sound was so mellow. Their countenances were angel like. I loved them! I came away from that evening filled to the brim.
