Happy 4th of July!!!


ALOHA!!!

We just returned from a 4th of July celebration sponsored by YWAM on Ali'i Drive which is the main cruising street right on the waterfront. The event included live music, face painting, break-dancing, fireworks, and more. It was great.

We are starting to get into a groove here. Our weekdays generally consist of the following schedule:

6:30-7:15 AM - Breakfast is served
8:00-12:00 - Kids go to school and we go to class which includes Bible teaching and team building work.
12:00-1:00 - Lunch
1:30-2:45 - More class and outreach training for our missions trip.
3:00-5:00 - Angie picks up kids from school. Ben goes to his daily work duty which is driving shuttle vans to and from town/airport.
5:00-6:00 - Dinner
6:00-bedtime - Free family time

The kids spend most of their free time playing hard at the playground and searching for geckos with their friends. Yesterday, Ben went to a local car dealership and scored a sweet deal on a used PT Crusier to get us around the island while we are here. We will plan to sell it when we leave (any takers)?

We feel like we are starting to get the insect roomates under control a bit. Ben went to Wal-Mart the other day and bought an arsenal of roach traps and spray. We shall see how effective they are. We have realized that the ants will be here to stay regardless of what we do. The best we can do is just keep everything wiped down at all times and leave absolutely no food or crumbs out.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Have a great week!
