The group “Musical Truth” performed a beautiful medley of “Teach Me to Walk in the Light” at the devotional held on Tuesday, July 6, as the congregation prepared to hear from Bishop Jim Nilson, the Associate Vice President for Technology at BYUH. Nilson served in and retired from the United States Air Force, including service rendered as a computer science teacher at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado. This being one of his specialties, he was a perfect fit for the technology department at our University.

As the June 8 devotional opened with a hymn bearing these words, “Go forth with hope and courage strong to spread God’s word abroad…” all present were primed for the topic of the meeting: “Go Forward with Faith.” Speaking was Gregory P. Gonsalves, a graduate of BYU-Provo, father of four children, and current president of the Kauai, Hawaii Stake.

Members of the Laie community and the BYU–Hawaii ohana joined with communities across Hawaii to beautify the island on Saturday, May 8, as part of the Mormon Helping Hands Program.
