Hibernating in Honolulu

Wow! Our family has just been through the craziest six weeks of our lives!

Jonathan was homeschooling the boys and being the assistant building manager at YWAM while I was taking a course on how to teach English as a Second Language. I would go to school from 8:30-4:30 p.m., take a short dinner break and then continue studying until midnight. When I received my certificate I cried because I was so overcome with all of the sacrifices our family went through. I didn't even cry at my high school or college graduation.

Before we left Kona we were commissioned by the YWAM base in preparation for becoming missionaries in China. It was so difficult to say goodbye to the many friends we made there.

Micah had a hard time saying goodbye to some good friends. He had the saddest face when we pulled out of the parking lot to take the plane trip to Honolulu.

On a happy note, we were reunited with family here and was especially excited to see Chappy and Sasha. They are now living with my dad and they are so happy with him! We're thrilled that they found a good home with him.

We're still marching toward Guangzhou -- we plan to be there around summer with stops in Seattle and Sydney!
