At a media question-and-answer session following inauguration, President Steven C. Wheelwright was all smiles. "I feel terrific," the newly installed leader said. "It's so great to have President Eyring here, to have my wife and family here, and to have the entire BYU 'ohana family… it's great. I love it!"
That BYU-Hawaii 'ohana included thousands on campus who arrived to show their support for the ninth president of the university. Some of the highest praise came from President Henry B. Eyring, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Stace Hall | University Advancement | 03 November 2007 There's a reason why the slogan of American Money Group Asia Pacific Basketball Classic reads: "A tournament like no other."

Stace Hall | University Advancement | 02 November 2007 President Steve Peterson, president of the Hawaii Honolulu Mission, told the audience at a recent devotional that the most important duty Latter-day Saints have is to preach the gospel.
"Because of the covenants we have made and the blessings of the gospel we have received, we are under obligation to help all of God’s children enjoy the ordinances of salvation," he said.
Peterson explained that members start to meet their obligation to share their beliefs through example. "The joy we find in the restored gospel is reflected in the light emanating from our eyes. It is felt, spirit to spirit, by friends, neighbors, and classmates. It will cause them to inquire as to why we seem so at peace in a very unpeaceful world," he stated.

As they arrived on Oahu and at BYU-Hawaii, many players and coaches from different countries were excited and pumped for the beginning of the American Money Group Asia Pacific Basketball Classic. For some, this event seems like a dream.
"Our kids never get the chance to play in a tournament like this, let alone a facility," said Michael Whippy (pictured at left), head coach of the women's national team from Fiji. "We walked into our first practice session, into the old gym [the McKay Gymnasium], and they [the players] said, 'This is the old gym?! Gee!'
"We don't even have a new gym in Suva like that old gym, so it's a big experience for us."
