An intercultural couple from BYU–Hawaii said they named their son “Jawaii Shen Lopis” so he would remember he was born in Hawaii with Indonesian and Taiwanese roots.
Jonathan K. Lopis, a senior from Indonesia majoring in cultural anthropology, said one does not have to fully understand their partner’s culture to have a successful intercultural marriage. He said respect of the other’s culture is what’s most important.
Kierra Shen Lopis, a senior from Taiwan majoring in TESOL, said when she was still dating her husband, she felt the love of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father because of the way he treated her.
