I'd like to say thanks to my wife for that introduction. I love and appreciate her. She has stood by my side and helped me in many, many challenges that have come and many, many blessings that have come in our lives together. I love and appreciate her. And I want to say to you, Aloha! I had never ever used that introduction until I came over here. I have now learned what it means and I have also learned that the expression is one that we all ought to be able to show to our fellow men: our love for them and the breath of life that we have to increase their lives. It's an honor to be here at BYU-Hawaii. I'd like to give thanks to the administration for the privilege and opportunity of associating with them and with the faculty and a special thanks to Anna for the help that she has given to me as I have worked in the religion department. As my wife said, I taught in a one-man seminary for many years and didn't even have a secretary so I've relied pretty heavily on Anna to help me with many things. But I am most grateful for the students. What a blessing you have been in our lives, my wife and I, since we've been here. You've made us feel at home and certainly made us feel welcome.
