The Homestretch

We are now into the last two weeks before returning home. The weather continues to be lovely, low 80's, occasionally some clouds. It just does not feel like Christmas is a month away, because there is no seasonal change that is quite obvious. But in church today there was mention of the Advent Season starting next week, so it must be coming soon.

We attended an old (175 years) Hawaiin Church, right on the beach. It was refurbished recently, and is very plain but nicely done. And a baby was baptized, in the ocean, as part of the service.

We continue to enjoy the participants that are here, some have heart-breaking stories to tell of persecution in their homelands. Please pray for that to end!

Next weekend we are going to Honoloulou-NCAA football !

The two pictures are the participants doing their favourite afternoon break activity - soccer, and a picture of a "wind farm", twenty windmills which provide 9% of the island electrical power.

We hope & pray that all is well with you, would love to hear from you, & about what is happening at home. See you soon--Blessings!!
