Final Month in Hawaii

We are loving it here in Laie.

Here we are surfing in Hawaii (thanks to Stacy's creation in AI)

My new adventure was to use Kevin's boogie board.

Success!

Stacy's AI picture says it all!!!

We love going to the Laie Temple.

We did sealings with a couple friends.

We especially love doing baptisms for the dead.

We heard Brandon give a talk in sacrament meeting.

We renewed our vows at Turtle Bay.

After church we visited the temple visitors center and saw Elder Rasband and his wife greeting the missionaries. Big Surprise.

Our Laie 8th ward combined with Hauula 5th ward for a week long ward campout.  It was amazing.

We had an amazing meal with many items including this cooked pig.

The talent show was incredible where youth sang and danced.

These four Fijian boys did the fire dance just like the PCC.

We had a hukilau where they scared the fish into the net.  

Here the kids were viewing one of the fish that they caught.

Stacy created this AI for the occasion. Haha.

This was one of the days that we went to the PCC - Fijian Village.

This was another day when we visited the Hawaiian Village.

We were here at the Market place just outside of the PCC.

Hawaii was affected by the hurricane Lala. Rain, lots of wind and we lost our electricity for two days and one night.  This is at the Banyan cafeteria where they had electricity and the students brought their cell phones so they could be recharged.  Thanks BYUH.

The one night when we didn't have electricity we went to the Night Show at the PCC.  It was so good.

We love eating at the Banyan.

We go to the Laie temple Visitor's Center each Sunday after church.

Kevin and Shannon joined the last two days.

We ate at the Banyan once.

We also ate at the Gateway Buffet in the PCC.

We stood in front of our second story apartment for the summer.

Finally on Saturday, August 29th we left Hawaii.

Aloha Laie, Hawaii.  It was a fantastic summer in Hawaii!!!

We loved doing baptisms.
