So last night Steve had the great idea of going to church in Kauai. We told the whole family and they thought that it sounded like a good idea. We decided that we would leave in the morning at 8:40 am because the church was just 5 minutes (if that) away. Well what we didn't know was that on the small island of Kauai there are not a whole lot of road signs on the side roads and some times addresses are wrong... needless to say, we finally made it to sacrament at 9:25am... at an address that was totally different than the one we were looking for but with the same ward number... go figure.
It was fast Sunday (obviously). It was so great to hear the testimonies of the saints out side of Utah. The two very best parts were when Steve got up to bare his testimony and also when they had the whole ward come up to the front (which was only about half of the congregation) and they sang to the visitors Aloha Oei (not sure how to spell it) and passed out handmade yarn leis made by on of the elderly sisters. It was really cool.
The rest of the day we swam at the ocean and the pool. I MUCH MUCH prefer the pool... it is so much cleaner. I am not o fan of cleaning out sand out of EVERYTHING and EVERYPLACE.
We are having a great time with the family.

what a fun get-a-way. Can't wait to see the photos.
I'm impressed that you went to church on vacation. We always seem to take a vacation from church when we travel.
What a neat experience. I am so wishing I was with your family on an island. It is supposed to rain and be really cold on Wed. Yuck.
I am so happy that you are keeping us updated while you are on vacation - impressive.

Hey, we just went to church in Maui and interestingly enough our address was weird too. Loved it also. We'll have to compare notes. Glad to be back.
