On Sunday after church we visited the Laie Temple which was just a few minutes from our beach house. The peace we felt there, coupled with the gorgeous natural plants and flowers really did make it feel like paradise.
Benson and McKay were amazed by how big the flowers were. They spent some time admiring them...and trying to pick them. We were mostly able to thwart their efforts.
The Laie temple is built on the site of an ancient island city of outcasts. Whenever someone was cast out from the main city, they could come here, so anciently it was known as a place of refuge. Today the Laie temple is a modern place of refuge from the sins and cares of the world. We felt a wonderful peace as we walked the beautiful temple grounds.
Because of temples on the earth today, I am blessed to be sealed to this little group for eternity. What a great blessing!
