We attended church in Hawaii, at the Lihue Ward, in this charming little church. This little blue church was built by my friend, Amy Jacobsen's, Grandfather in 1932. It's architecture and ambiance accentuates the Hawaiian culture of warmth, kindness, and love.
The congregation consisted of many visitors. We saw many of our hotel acquaintances there. I was so touched by the sweet spirit of the Hawaiian people. Their hospitality is abundant, and brimming with compassion. They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. At the end of the meeting the ward members sang this song to all of the visitors and presented us with knitted leis that they had made.
We have been to three different LDS wards in the past three weeks. We have been to wards in Las Vegas, West Valley, and now Hawaii. The gospel and it's beliefs and doctrines are the same wherever you may be. We always receive a warm welcome, and feel the spirit wherever we attend.
