I absolutely love Sunday afternoons. We always like to take Sunday drives when we're in new locations that has a lot to be explored. Scott said that the first LDS chapel in the Hawaiian islands was here on the slopes of Haleakela. So he googled it and found that it wasn't too far from our house. It turns out to be only 5 miles up the road. This first picture is taken way back in the day (the chapel was built in 1850).
Then this is the building today! The little cottage in the back is where the missionaries live. How cool is that? We have a friend in Daybreak that lived here on his mission. He said he used to study in the chapel in the mornings.
This is inside the chapel. It's very simple, and that's all there is too it. Just an entryway and the chapel.
There's a guestbook in the entryway that people sign. Of course we glanced thru it and someone had said "we rang the bell", so of course Scott immediately searches for the bell pull and rings the bell.
It is a very peaceful place. You can really feel that it's truly special. They've made it very green and lush since the beginnings. It's really beautiful now.
