Our Lifestyle of Singing: We're Here!

Thank you so much for your patience as we acclimate ourselves into our new home! We arrived safely Thursday late afternoon, registered, had a scare with Jesse as he was in the ER with some stomach thing (He's all better now!), got settled in our room, and had a wonderful taco salad dinner. Each day so far has been filled to the brim! We are busy with classes, with new friends, with walks to WalMart (woo hoo!), and with learning the rhythm of a new, beautiful place.
What has been the best thing so far, you ask? Hmmm....that's a tough one. The corporate worship times have been amazing as we sense God's presence moving throughout all the open hearts. Meeting the oldest YWAM-er, Loren Cunningham's 98 year old mother-in-law, was a special treat. Hearing a story (one of many) from Loren of God's work and provision in his life was very encouraging. Our Crossroads classes are getting more fun as we move from "what to expect" kinds of things to the "real" stuff. Thursday and Friday we'll have our first speaker, Andy Byrd, who is a young, passionate man after God's heart. We're excited and expectant! The Easter Sonrise service, which was presented by the Kona Minister's Fellowship was the best one I've ever been to. How can you go wrong with Jesus, hula dancers, super worship in song, a funny children's (keiki) message, and a moving big people's message? I'm so thankful for all the experiences so far and can't wait to watch this whole adventure unfold...one step at a time.
Thank you to all who helped us get here in so many different ways! Thank you, also, for those who prayed, stayed, and housed Jesse while he was in and out of the hospital and recuperating. You all were Jesus' hands and feet! Bless you!
Here are few pictures for you to gaze upon. More coming later.... Aloha, our friends!
