A couple more weeks done! Wow...time is flying.  Today makes 2 months exactly since the start of our school here in Kona.  It has flown by!  I can't believe how quickly time has gone.
The last few weeks have been good - just like the other 6 weeks before that!  We've had some great speakers come in enlightening us more to the word of God.  Amazing the insights we are receiving and it just keeps coming! Yay God for endless amounts of revelation He has to give us for the rest of our lives!!

Firstly - I NEED to say THANK YOU to my wonderful friends that I just love so much for your amazing support prayerfully and financially!  We are so forever thankful for you all.  We pray for your families - that God would bless you guys so much.  Thank you for sewing into us and God :)
We continue to need finances - and like I mentioned before - your prayers.  We value your prayers.  I would love to hear from anyone who's been praying for us.  It just means So much to us - we need it! And thank you!

This week one of my biggest highlights was meeting with my dear friend Kari Adams.  I love her soooo much!  We did our DTS together back in '97 and then a leadership school in '98.  We have been in touch since...mostly by distance with an email here and there throughout the years.   I called her up a few times just before coming here - talking things over about what we were going to be doing and asking her for some insight as she'd been on staff here in Kona for quite a while but was then living in Washington....THEN, a crazy little story of hers, ended her and her husband moving here just this past November before we got here!  God knew I needed her here :)
She met us at the airport when we arrived and we've seen each other here and there throughout the 2 months of being here.  She's been a blessing and has been a great listening ear, encourager and prayer friend.  This week was just extra special.  Just Love her so much.  Thanks Kari for your deep friendship that we were able to pick up as if we'd only been apart a couple weeks rather than 14 years!!! :)

Oh, I also wanted to share this really cool healing story that happened!
One of the girls here was in a pretty bad moped accident (hit by a car/no helmet - no one wears them here for mopeds).  She wasn't able to tell the ambulance guys her name and had a pretty messed up leg. They did a scan which showed her back to be fine and no internal bleeding but that her right leg was broken in several places and needed surgery to place screws/plates. Initially they thought she was bad enough to be flown to the main hospital in Honolulu (different island).
Right away, there was a huge ban of people praying for her all over here and at the hospital with her.  So, then comes the news: - no internal bleeding (they thought she may've had this on arrival)
-they could do surgery here and not have to fly her.
Then, she went into surgery and as she came out of recovery - the Doctors reported she didn't have any broken bones in her leg! Wow - just awesome.
So, she walked away with a leg that is still quite sore and will take a couple weeks to gain full walking on it BUT no broken bones, NO head injury, NO internal injuries!  God is good and what an exciting faith builder for us all!

And here are just a few pictures....I need to be a bit more intentional with the camera! Not that many pics this time....
                                                              After the rain fall
                                 Just came across this one - Madison took it - so sweet.
                                     sisters...I did have to get them to pose for it though. :)
It rained!! It doesn't happen often but it did right at dinner time and Judah had so much fun getting soaked! I took him off guard on this picture...haha
