Aloha friends and family,
Happy Mothers Day to all you moms. David and I believe, actually know, that we are truly blessed to have incredible mothers and grandmothers! So thank you moms and grandmas for being incredible, dealing with us in our off days, praying for us continuously, loving us unconditionally.
Well a few updates in our lives. I an article for Susie magazine, and it will be featured in the September issue. For those who don't know, Susie mag is a Christian magazine for teen girls. I did my internship with Susie last Spring (2009). Since then I've done a few "Guy Talk" interviews, and just wrote up an article about "Surfing with Bethany Hamilton" (the gal who lost her arm in a shark attack but still continues to surf). Needless to say, I'm thrilled!
Things are going well with the church. As an answer to prayer, we now have a little more parent involvement when it comes to the task of fundraising. Let me tell you, fundraising here ain't easy. But we keep trusting the Lord for his provision!
As for David and I, come this summer we will be stepping out in faith in a few areas of our lives. A lot of changes are going to be happening in my vocation, which can be scary but I believe these changes will realign me in God's calling in my life. We appreciate your prayers as we "chase the wild goose (Holy Spirit)" in His leading in our lives. It truly makes us trust him more for our needs.
I'll be back in Colorado a month from today (June 6). So, I'd love to see you all. The Hawaii students come out June 16-30. We are looking for help with transportation, host homes/facilities, and food. If you can help in either area we'd greatly appreciate it! Below is a brief schedule of our plans.
