Where in the World--Day 9 and beyond!


Aloha. I'm sorry that it has taken me two weeks to get this post posted. We woke early on Wednesday, June 6 and went to the airport in Oakland, CA to begin the final leg of our journey to Hawaii. We completed lots of paperwork to allow Fitz to travel and we boarded the flight for the final 5.5 hours of travel.

When we arrived in Honolulu, they paged our name on the airplane and took Fitz away from us. We went to retrieve our luggage and then made our way over to the Animal Quarantine Station. After filling out more paperwork we had Fitz and we were on our way to our new home.


On Thursday, June 7 our Matson container arrived at our house and the Killens (District Superintendent) and the Wongs (Pastor of The Bridge) came and helped us unload. The last two weeks have been busy with unpacking boxes and settling in. Last night we got pictures and artwork hung on the walls so we are feeling just about done with the moving phase. Our little blue car also survived the trip with Matson and we picked it up over at Sand Island on Monday, June 18.

Tim is serving as an Associate Pastor at The Bridge while we are working on the plans for The Point. Debbie is already active with the worship team at The Bridge and Alex is participating in youth group activities. This coming week is VBS for The Bridge. Debbie and Tim will be teaching one group of the kids and Tim and Alex are both doing drama for the week. Pray for the kids who come to VBS that they will experience the love of Jesus as we teach and play with them.

One final photo for this post. Fitz seems to be enjoying his new home in Hawaii. However, I'm not sure that he enjoys wearing a flower lei around the house.

Thanks for being a part of our Prayer Partners Team and for praying for our journey to Hawaii.
