We just recently came home from a wonderful trip to Hawaii. One of the things we did while there was visit the Polynesian Village on Oahu. Although they had some very nice shows and we took part in their luau which was just....well I cannot find words to say how good it was. Even so, what stood out for me regarding this attraction is the fact that it is owned and run by the Mormon church.
The first person who approached me upon entering the park was a young lady who wanted to bring me into some lecture or perhaps a film (I don’t really know how they present it because I declined the offer of participating in it) that introduces visitors to what they want visitors to their park to know about their “Mormon temples”.
Then on our return trip home we had a connecting flight from Salt Lake City and again encountered many Mormons.
I myself had joined the Mormon church right after high school, and even had a temple recommend, just as a little background, but don’t wish to go into all the details about it. I say this only so you might understand that my feelings about this excursion are different than if I had never had that in my past.
While I was at the Polynesian Village, I also had a chance meeting with a young woman who was waiting for her fiancé to finish his work shift. Everything about it was so supernatural, my husband and I sensed the power of God bringing all of it together. We had a wonderful conversation with Ahule-ee (I’m probably misspelling her name, but that is how she pronounced it) and pray that Jesus will reveal the real truth to her and send other Christians to her who can help her transition out of all the lies and the facade.
Ahule-ee came to mind again yesterday when I watched a video series on YouTube. Sandra Tanner is a great granddaughter of Brigham Young. She saw the truth at an early age and thankfully did not become an atheist as a result. About half of the people that leave Mormonism give up on there being a true God altogether and become atheists. Sandra encourages Mormons leaving Mormonism to seek the Lord Jesus out truly, to study the Bible without the Mormon books and teachings, and to do a proper research on the authenticity of the Bible.

Hi Susan,
ReplyDeletemy friend and myself spoke to many mormons out in the street when I lived in Wales. We only have to see that the founder was Joseph Smith to know that if the founder of your religion is not Jesus Christ then there is something added or taken away from the truth.
God bless you.
Hey Susan, it's that time of the year. We also just came back from vacation out west and we seen a lot of Mormons at the entry to the parks. I totally agree that we need to pray for all eyes to be opened. I do alot of evangelizing with the Jews. In the same way the Mormons refer to their extranious writings, Jews tend to hold the Talmud above the Torah. It's hard. Stay on those knees and pray. Shalom!
