Besides sharing his love and testimony of the Savior and His restored Church, President R. Kelly Haws had a simple message for BYU–Hawaii students during his first address as the new acting president of the university.
“Allow the Lord to nudge you,” he said.
“When you sense even a hint from the Savior, please don’t resist. Let Him move you,” President Haws encouraged students and faculty gathered in the Cannon Activities Center for the first devotional of a new semester in the new year on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
President Haws’ address came roughly three weeks after BYU–Hawaii President John S.K. Kauwe III announced he would be taking a temporary leave of absence as he continues treatment for cancer.
At the same time, it was announced that Haws, the assistant to the commissioner of the Church Educational System who also serves as secretary to the BYU–Hawaii Board of Trustees, would serve as acting president of BYU–Hawaii until President Kauwe’s health allows him to return to full service.
