Adventures

Last week, I took the kids to the beach with some friends of ours. This is Britney Olsen. She is a really cool high schooler that goes to church with us. Her brother TJ was also there. He is hiding behind the boogie board. Their mom, Holly works with Wilma as a doctor at the hospital. She and Wilma are really great friends. We will actually be moving in with their family next weekend because our things will be packed up to move to Texas. For those that do not already know. We sold our house!!! It sold a bit ago but I neglected to post about it, for some odd reason. Thank you for all your prayers for the sell of the house. They were definitely appreciated.
Joshua and Sydney think of Britney and TJ as older siblings. It was fun to get to know them better and also to get to go to the beach. I am trying to do as many activities with the kids before we leave. Our scheduled date to leave is June 25th. It is crazy to think I have been here in Hawaii for almost 4 months. It has gone by so fast and I will truly miss being here. What I will miss most is the friends and family I have gotten to know. My brothers and sisters in the Lord have taught me so much. May the Lord continue to bless His Church in the islands.
On Sunday, after church, I went to a party along with a bunch of other members of the church. It was so much fun getting to know some of the people that I had not already known and fellowshiping outside of church. Pictured here is Benjamin Akaka. He is a precious. Holding him and playing with him make me miss my nephew, Samuel. Be praying for Samuel, He went through a CT scan on Tuesday. Pray that the doctors would have wisdom with a accurate diagnosis for his developmental delays and that He would grant peace and understanding to our family.
At the party on Sunday, we ate good Korean food, played new games and just had a good time. Pictured here (from left to right) Me, Courtney, James, David, and Erin. James is Bethany's brother. I have written about her in previous post. He is here for the summer from John Brown University. The party was at David Chang's house. David is about to leave to go to Iraq. Please pray for him as he goes to serve our country and pray that he will be encouraged in the Lord while he is away. Erin is here for the summer as a nanny for a doctor at Trippler Hospital. She is from Connecticut and is actually attending Anderson University in South Carolina. I knew she was coming to Hawaii but was able to meet and get to know her a bit over the weekend.

I think about and pray for my friends and family in Anderson, SC all the time. Thank you for you support and your prayers as I continue to go where the Lord is leading me. Please continue to pray for the me as I move to Texas. For new friends, a church family, and for activities for the kids and me for the summer. Please let me know how I can be praying for you all. Blessings!
