Living in Hawai'i seemed to real. A 10 minute drive to the beach, 2 minutes to the nearest super market, 10 minutes to the mall and friends and family all over. Could that all be just a dream? To me Hawai'i was my life. I had everything and anything that I could have possibly wanted. Growing up I went to the same elementary and intermediate school that my best friend had gone to. Until high school came along and I decided to take a 45 minute to a half hour city bus ride to Kahuku High and Intermediate School, better know as the football state champions. I loved this school only because the high percentage of mormon's there.
Anyway....During my sophomore year my sister had graduated and had decided to move to Utah and attend Utah Valley University. My parents were all for it only because we would be able to visit Utah more then we usually do. Until my parents decided to go with my sister to Utah, that is when I felt I was going to die! We've been to Utah a few times before to visit family and friends, except this time our stay became two months looking for HOUSES. Every house we stepped into I poured out crying. "Why are my parents trying to put me through HELL and ruin my life?" A week before we left Utah we had found a house that my mother had loved. Every night I cried my eyes out. The day before we left my mother wanted to visit the Salt Lake City Temple. (THIS IS WHERE THE SPIRITUAL PART COMES IN)....
While my parents were walking around, I decided to sit in the south visiting center where you could see the temple. I started at the temple and poured out my heart asking heavenly father to soften my heart. Through out the move to Utah everything became easier. My life had came clear again and I love it!
I relate myself to Nephi and his family! Thanks to his inspirations I have become a stronger person.
