Laie Hawaii Temple Centennial Devotional-Elderwhitin1 Laie Hawaii Temple Centennial Devotional Elder Scott D. Whiting Aloha, my dear brothers and sisters. It is so good to be back in the islands among you. We love you and count ourselves truly blessed to have raised our family in Hawaii. You are forever in our hearts and we thank you for your aloha these many years. I am humbled and honored to have been assigned to speak at this devotional commemorating the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the historic Laie Hawaii Temple. I bring you the love of President Nelson, the First Presidency, and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. They love you and reJoice in the event that we are commemorating. I acknowledge President and Sister Hallstrom, current temple president and matron, and all other temple presidents and matrons many of whom sit behind me tonight, who have served going back to William W. and Olivia S. Waddoups, the first temple president and matron of the temple who are pictured on the screen. I, too, also acknowledge all of those who currently serve in the temple as ordinance workers, volunteers and employees, and all who have served in the temple in any capacity throughout the years. Your contributions to the gathering of scattered Israel on both sides of the veil are both commendable and invaluable. As we celebrate this historic occasion, we cannot help but remember our own personal experiences relating to the temple. For me, there are too many memories to recount here, but the cumulation of my experiences can be expressed in this way: “It was within the walls of the Laie Hawaii Temple that I came to better understand the love of God, the power of covenants, and the thinness of the veil that separates us from our kindred dead.” As a young man with a young family, who had Just moved to Hawaii, I wrongly limited my temple attendance thinking that other life priorities were more pressing and important. The pressures of trying to meet the needs of my new employer, the needs of my wife and family, and the need to fulfill my duties in the Church all moved me to think that I could put off more frequent temple attendance. As I have matured over the years, I realize that rather than relegating the temple to a secondary, or even tertiary priority in my early life, I should have elevated more frequent temple attendance to a top priority. I think that there are some in the younger demographic who feel, perhaps as I did at the time, that temple worship is better accomplished at a season later in their life when life is less busy and hectic. Sadly, I am learning that a less busy and hectic life may be an illusion. I am grateful for wise mentors who over the years helped me see the error of my ways. I remember with great fondness Brother Fred Kaneshiro, a member of my ward in Kailua who has since passed away, and a most faithful and dedicated temple worker and patron, who in every setting spoke of the temple and encouraged temple attendance. He helped me feel the delight and Joy of the temple and instilled in me a desire to be in the temple as often as I could. His life was not one without challenges and sorrow, but his countenance only ever radiated Joy, peace and the love of the Lord. His love of the temple was infectious, and I ended up becoming infected myself as I learned from his great example. He was also most instrumental in getting me and my family addicted to pineapple as he used them as calling cards and gave them to everyone he met. While serving as a young stake president, I often had the blessing of visiting with President Wayne O. Ursenbach, former president of the temple. You may remember that President Ursenbach was small in stature, however, he looms large in my life. Whenever I would be with President Ursenbach he would teach me, often through simple questions. In hindsight, I recognize that he was teaching me in the Savior’s way. On one occasion he approached me after a stake conference and asked, “President Whiting, are you able to attend the temple regularly?” I responded with the classic deflection of, “Yes, as regularly as I can.” Well, he saw right through this and then said, “Did you know that it is easier to attend the temple every week than it is once a month?” Now, on the face of it, that did not make much sense to me. I lived in Kailua, a one-hour drive away. I had work and Church and family duties to attend to and I could not understand how it would be “easier” to attend weekly. He then taught me something that I will not forget. He said, “When we attend the temple weekly, it is a commitment, but when we attend monthly, it can become an inconvenience.” Well, he saw into my soul and pierced me with that counsel. On another occasion, he approached me and asked, “President Whiting, do you take your children with you to the temple?” Now, at the time, I only had one daughter who had been endowed, and other than ward temple baptism trips I could not take my children to the temple with me. When I explained that to him, he quietly smiled, and said, “No, you misunderstood me,” and then while tapping his finger to his heart he clarified, “do you take your children with you to the temple.” Well, again, his counsel penetrated my soul. We have learned that when we worship in the temple, if we take a son or daughter with us in our mind and heart, Heavenly Father can give us insights into how to best raise, interact with, counsel, and teach our children. After all, who better than from their Heavenly Father, can we learn about our own children? I know that this counsel also applies to grandparents and their grandchildren. I am grateful for mentors such as these who, while here in Hawaii, helped me better understand the power of temples and the covenants we make therein. President Nelson is pleading with all of us to avail ourselves of the power and blessings that come from temple worship. Listen to the words he used in the October 2018 General Conference. [quote] “My dear brothers and sisters, the assaults of the adversary are increasing exponentially, in intensity and in variety. Our need to be in the temple on a regular basis has never been greater. I PLEAD with you to take a prayerful look at how you spend your time. Invest time in your future and in that of your family. If you have reasonable access to a temple, I URGE you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord—to be in His holy 2 house—then keep that appointment with exactness and Joy. I PROMISE YOU that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples.” [close quote.] PLEAD, URGE and PROMISE—these are powerful words when spoken by a prophet of God. His words warn us of the need to take immediate action. Wonderfully, his words also convey promised blessings for obedience. It has been over a year since President Nelson, a prophet of God, delivered this powerful message. How have you responded? Has anything changed in your prioritization of temple worship? Perhaps our silent responses are the reason why, six months later, in the April 2019 General Conference, President Nelson delivered a pointed sermon in the General Priesthood Meeting, on the need for each of us to repent on a daily basis and change ourselves for the better. With this counsel it is clear to see why President Nelson has announced so many new temples—even temples in remote locations where Church members are fewer in number. He understands the power of temples in the lives of the people. His desire to bring temples to the members, wherever they have gathered, despite the number of their stakes, wards and branches, is a powerful message to us all concerning the need to be in the temple regularly. In October 2018, after announcing plans to construct 12 new temples, President Nelson taught us that, [quote] “Building and maintaining temples may not change your life but spending your time in the temple surely will.” [close quote] He then directed his remarks to those who had not been to the temple for an extended period of time, for whatever reason, and offered this invitation, [quote] “I encourage you to prepare and return [to the temple] as soon as possible. Then I invite you to worship in the temple and pray to feel deeply the Savior’s infinite love for you, that each of you may gain your own testimony that He directs this sacred and ageless work.” [close quote] Can you feel in the words of President Nelson that he is desperately trying to prepare us for the events to come? He is imploring us to prepare ourselves against the increasing evil in the world. Much like the people of Nephi, when they were set upon in war by the Lamanites, President Nelson, like Captain Moroni, is asking us to fortify our homes, our families, and ourselves, against the invading enemy who would destroy us. Brethren of the Priesthood, it is our duty to preside, provide, AND PROTECT our families. Are we taking the necessary actions to do so? Are we living temple-centered lives and creating temple centered homes? I am reminded of two different stories in scripture that powerfully illustrates this point.

P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.
