My dearest brothers and sisters, university family, and guests and members of our President's Leadership Council, aloha! We gather today almost on the eve of our 50th anniversary as a campus. Most of us here are familiar with President David O. McKay's prophecies and blessings concerning this campus, the temple, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the community of La`ie. There is a continuing and glowing fascination for these prophetic utterances as we see them unfolding in living realities. Certainly one of the objectives of the Jubilee year will be to capture and celebrate as many instances as possible in which the hand of the Lord has been manifest among us in great mercy.
We are all on this earth to learn from our own experience. That's the purpose of our existence. We are here at BYU-Hawaii to learn and to grow, to learn of things spiritual, things on the earth, in the earth, in the skies, sciences, languages, history, learn about societies, about the perplexities of nations.

Dear brothers and sisters, Aloha!
Aloha and Happy New Year!
Aloha. And aloha, too, from the bottom of my heart. Especially to you who are new to this campus or who are returning do I express our love and welcome. I am always moved by this sight of our university family coming together in devotion. Looking into your faces and feeling your collective spirits, it is as if the very heart of the international Church of Latter-day Saints is beating right here. The spirit of God rests down upon this campus and is prepared to work miraculous things in our hearts and minds if we are prepared to received them. More important, the Lord intends to work His miracles on this planet through you as he establishes his Zion across the world.
