Maui Vacation Day #4

Day #4 - Sunday, January 10, 2016

Sunday morning I woke up at 3am, but Zsuzsa "slept in" until 5am. The reason for the difference was that I had taken a little nap the day before while she drove us to Iao Valley State Park. I used the 2 hours alone to catch up on some Bible memorization. I was mainly finishing up memorizing Daniel chapter 1. When Zsuzsa woke up, we had breakfast at the house consisting of eggs, toast, and prosciutto. At 8:15am, we headed out for church at Grace Independent Baptist Church in Lahaina.

 We showed up for the 9:30am "Family Bible Hour," and the lesson was on Daniel 2, which I had just been studying that morning! We stayed for the morning service at 10:30am and heard a sermon on Acts 13:1-3 about the importance of the local church sending out pastors and missionaries. Then after the service there was a potluck, which I must say was the best church potluck I have ever eaten! Some of the highlights were the ham, quinoa salad, chicken fettuccine alfredo, potatoes au gratin, and the fried bananas.

After church and potluck, we headed into Lahaina town for a ride on the submarine Atlantis. This involved taking a boat ride out to the submarine, boarding the sub, and then going down 130' below the surface to look at the marine life. We saw lots of tropical fish and two small sharks. After the submarine ride, we walked around Lahaina town to kill time before the evening church service at 6:00pm. While we walked around the town we had some fudge from the Hawaii Fudge Company and some gelato, oh, and also some "Dole Whip."

At church Sunday evening, we heard a sermon from 1 Kings 14 and 2 Chronicles 12 about Rehoboam's shields of gold being replaced with shields of brass. We also talked with a few people at the church who had liked our documentary films (New World Order Bible Versions, Marching to Zion, etc). After church, we headed for Round Table Pizza in Lahaina because you just can't go to Maui and not eat a "Maui Zaui" pizza while you're there! Then they messed up our pizza the first time, so we ended up getting 2 pizzas for the price of one! We ate the pizza on the way home and went to bed early so we could be ready to head out early in the morning on the famous "Road to Hana."
