Day #10 - Sunday - Tour of BYU-Hawaii Campus and Temple Visitor Center

We spent a relaxing day today enjoying the Sabbath. Adam and Jenni gave us a tour of BYU-Hawaii campus and then we spent time at the Hawaii Temple grounds and the visitor center. The temple is closed for reconstruction but it was still fun to see. This photo is the road leading up to the temple.
This is a beautiful mosaic on BYU campus. It depicts David O. McKay and his dream to build a school here.
This is a statue at the temple visitor center. It depicts Lehi conferring the priesthood upon Joseph.
The yellow Hibiscus flower is the state flower of Hawaii and this is a pink version of the same flower. They are everywhere and they are beautiful!
We also enjoyed slowing strolling along the beach together. This is Temple Beach. It is straight across the street from the temple and has a beautiful sitting area for meditation. The church as also provided a beautiful grassy area, small secluded parking area and a shower to wash the sand off. It is very nicely landscaped. Your tithing dollars at work :).
