Last we left you we were leaving Cancun for a whirlwind of a trip through Ohio and North Carolina. It was great getting to see so many of you during our brief stays. Our lives were deeply blessed and enriched by our fellowship with you. Our welcome back to Ohio was amazing and our time in North Carolina was relaxing and well spent. It is hard to find enough ways to say thank you.

Thank you to all who housed us. Thank you to all who had dinner with us. Thank you for the countless individuals who took an authentic interest in the past season of our lives. Thank you Pastor Joe and Janice for letting us share with the church. Without all of your prayers and support we cannot do all that we have been called to do. So thank you.

And now we back are in Hawaii. In many ways we are home. I wish I could explain all that Ohana means to us these days. To be candid, this past year has been really challenging for us as we made the transition into full time missionary work.

We are sure that as the year unfolds we will share more of what God is speaking to us. Hopefully through our obedience to Jesus you will find your own faith being strengthened. After all, that is part of why we do what we do. Our updates are not just about us - it's about staying connected with you. It's about equipping one another and partnering for projects bigger than ourselves.
