Thanks Len for your comments! Glad someone is looking at this blog of ours! Yes, this missionary work is very hard! But know that we are being used in mighty ways, even when we wash rags, dust furniture and fold clothes! (in the heat while watching palm trees wave and smelling plumerias, and listening to doves coo, and seeing the cruise ships resting in the harbor!)
So, the other pictures......one was Angie leading a mission builder meeting last Tues. I think Cathy is in the picture.
Another couple are at the Lutheran church, one of the building and one of the class I went to. That was last Sunday. The ocean view is a little distracting for sermon listening.
Tomorrow we go to a DTS (Discipleship Training Session) called Compassion. It is one of the "schools" this term and we are allowed to sit in on one for one day. Then the rest of the day we "reflect", probably at a beach! We actually have done a lot of reflecting while here and it has been very good for us. We are still getting along very well as roomies! Both of us like to read at night and neither of us are crazy about getting up in the morning! We don't usually make the breakfast van run. Too early!!
Tuesday and Wednesday are our last working days, and then Thursday and Friday we clean up, and do all the last minutes things that we haven't been able to do before because we are always working during the day!
There are many aspects to this experience.....I could write a book! I have been keeping a journal but it is hard to find time to write every day! So much goes on, way more than I ever thought!
God is good all the time. All the time God is good. And people here are the same as at home, with stories and struggles and quesions and hugs and words of wisdom and encouragement and smiles. Maybe more laid back than at home sometimes, the Hawaiian style.
So, ahuwi ho, (have no clue how to spell that, but it means....until we meet again!)
Aloha,
Marlys and Cathy
