We woke up every day and enjoyed guava jam and POG. Yum! 
On Sunday we went to Sacrament Meeting. It was really neat because it was fast and testimony meeting, and I felt the Spirit really strong. You hear it said all the time, but it’s so great to feel at home in the church, no matter where you are. The people there were so friendly and had such great testimonies to share. 
What’s also neat about the church we went to is that the Kona Temple is right behind it! I imagine they rejoiced when that temple was built! 
Can’t argue with 85 degrees when it was below 30 in Utah! We drove to the Hilo side again after church. 
Most of the pictures in this post are taken in auto, with no adjusting on them (I wish I had taken more on manual but we were just going going and I didn’t want to miss a picture because I’m not fast enough on my settings yet!). I was blown away that the picture below had nothing done to it—it’s just a true representation of the beauty there! 
My hair + humidity = not friends. 
And then there was the one time when Christie decided to try and be like Tarzan and the vine broke and she fell on her bum. 
We actually did have one wild animal siting… 
And now for my favorite equation. Hawaii + humans = Healing. For real. Only one more day left of our trip to blog about!
