A Month in California

 We are back in Hawaii after and restfully busy time spent with friends and family all over California. The first week of our trip was spent with Cary's parents in La Mirada, CA. It was a relaxing week of laying by the pool and playing ping pong.

 Our next stop was San Jose where we spent a few weeks with Chris's family. One of the highlights of our trip was spent near Big Tree's at the Solima's time share. During this week Chris had the priveledge of baptising his Dad in White Pines lake. It was only 8 in the morning so it was a bit chilly but I am sure a moment neither will forget.

 Some of our good friends the Johnston family have moved to the Bay Area so that Phil can attend Birkley Law School. It was such a blessing to see them and spend the day in down town San Francisco with them.

Our good friend Andrew Davenport meet us in San Jose and gave us a tour around the bay area. It was awesome seeing YWAM San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and not to mention the Olive Garden.

We are so thankful for both sides of our families. Their support and understanding for our lifestyle of ministry gives us lots of fuel to keep going. We are hoping it won't be long before we get to see them again! Thank you to everyone who made this trip relaxing and rejuvenating. We feel ready to begin another season at YWAM Honolulu and are so thankful for the break we got in California.
