Hawaii Temple


One of the most meaningful moments of our trip was when we went to see the Hawaii temple. This temple has special significance to my family because in a way it was one of the ways that my family came to join the church. My parents went to vacation in Hawaii and like many people, they visited the Polynesian cultural center. At the cultural center, they also stopped and saw the temple there. They took some pictures of the temple and after a great vacation, went home to Michigan. A while later, the missionaries knocked on their door and my mom told them that she had sick kids, but they were welcome to come back another day and she would show them the pictures she took of their temple in Hawaii. Well, the very next day, two very enthusiastic missionaries knocked again and this is how my parents joined the church. I am just so grateful for the church and all of the blessings that it has brought to my family. I also so thankful for temples in which we can be sealed with our families for all eternity. The Hawaii temple will always hold a very special place in my heart.
