More Visitors



One of Marlene's nursing classmates and closest friend from Oakville, is visiting Maui with a friend of hers from Brampton. They are staying at the Hyatt Regency with people from Vancouver at Ka'anapali which is about an hour from us. They have a connection to the Hyatt through employment, so are getting a very good deal. So we rented a car yesterday and went touring the island. The highlight was to have been going up to the crater, Haleakala, but the weather up there was horrendous - cloudy, windy & wet. It was unfortunate for our guests, but it was interesting for us to see the peak in a different light, so to speak. We stopped for lunch "up-country" at an Italian restarant in Makawao and capped the day off with a wonderful dinner at the Hyatt in one of their dining areas. Forgot to get a picture until we were leaving, so that is why it is in the dark.
This morning we had a church service here at Haggai and it was very moving. Lots of music, a very moving personal testimony from a former Hindu from India and the message from one of our favourite faculty members from Brazil. I had picked up this faculty from the airport on Thursday night and he shared about recent happenings in his life and his message this morning was "The Best Is Yet To Come". When you think about it, no matter what stage of life we are in, he is so right!
I managed to get thru another birthday on Friday, but far too much attention to suit me. In a place like this, word gets around much too quickly.
