Awesome Vacation Day 6

A relaxing Sunday. At least it was relaxing after we made it to really early morning church. We woke up, dressed up, and walked to church. It was already very warm before 8AM. In Sacrament meeting we got to sing along with Aloha 'Oe for those who were moving out of the area. Every meeting and talk started with a big Aloha, echoed by the congregation or classroom. After church we walked over to the Laie Temple.


I love the flowers on the temple grounds. The missionaries actually go out and collect flowers to give to the visitors.


One of the missionaries serving at the temple took us through the visitor's center to see the Reflections of Christ photographs. After that we explored the rest of the visitor's center - Dan liked looking at the Book of Mormons in different languages and I watched some short movies with our friends. Their daughter really liked the movie about cupcakes, so I saw that one two or three times.

We walked home, stopping to look at some houses with history markers, and then we took afternoon naps. When we woke up, it was time for some Ratatouille for dinner. Yum! After dinner I made my lei, carefully threading ribbon through the kukui nuts and then tying knots for spacers. How cool to make my own Hawaiian souvenier!

Souvenirs you make yourself are often more meaningful, your necklace looks cool.
