Maui--Day 2

Well, here we are on Day 2. This is the beautiful scene we woke up to this morning! Looking westward. The island you see is Lanai. I never realized Maui and Lanai were so close.
We went to church at 9 o'clock. It is the only ward in Lahaina. It was fast and testimony meeting. I was caught a little off guard with everyone beginning their testimonies by saying, "Aloha, my brothers and sisters." But when you repeat it back to them, it feels like a very natural way to greet each other, even from the pulpit.
The chapel is small. We met there for Sacrament meeting and Sunday School. They even make the visitors get involved. They hand out the quotes and scriptures to you and then you have to go to the front of the chapel and use the microphone! RS was held in the cultural hall. They don't even have a RS room. So they have big totes full of old patio cushions that the sisters can sit on for the folding chairs!

This is on the porch of the meeting house. Wouldn't you love that to be your view each time you came out of church? The only thing separating you from the beach is a two lane road.

One of the views from our room, straight down!

Another set of swimming pools.

We broke our fast at an outdoor setting while the superbowl was playing. Island pork ribs with rice. Oh, it hit the spot. Speaking of the superbowl--boohoo. Our AZ Cardinals lost in the last 2 minutes of the game. When we got back to our rooms, the bell captain was there to move us to the BRAND NEW condo tower. So we are now in the newest section of the resort. The condo is unbelievable. We are the first people to ever stay in this unit. The beds have never been slept in or the towels used. EVERYTHING is brand new. So now we have hawaii smell and new smell. I'm bruised from pinching myself so I know that this is all real.

Richard and Duff finished watching the game and then napped, while Patti and I sat on the sofa in my room and visited, chatted, talked, laughed, and then visited some more. All of a sudden it was 8 pm and the guys decided they were hungry. So we ordered out a pizza and watched a hilarious movie, Multiplicity.

So now it's off to bed. We have the slider opened to the lanai and are going to fall asleep to the lull of the waves.

Aloha, until tomorrow!
