ALOHA!!!

What a great place!!! Visiting Hawaii for the last two week have been amazing!! I never could imagine the water... it is really blue! We have been going all over the Island with a family of supporters from Wyoming. We spent 5 days at the big Island where the volcanos are. We did not see  any red lava but the marks all over the place are just amazing. The power that went through all over the years with the lave just blows my mind, Black  and dry everywhere. Sad is to see that people (locals) found a god in the volcanos. Definitely it is a powerful thing but why to worship and powerful thing and not the one that creates and it is the most powerful. Jesus is power, the res is just a figure that the humans find to deny our God and Savior. See the god far away on the top or inside the Mountain is just not real. the Holy Spirit is inside of us...

We had an amazing experience swimming with wild dolphins in the blue water one day. So breath taking!! 

Back to Oahu, we are visiting Jess' friends and family and getting ready to go back to Salem on Sunday night. even with all this beauty and family, we can wait to get going to go to Sudan. Nothing better than to be in the center of God's will!!

I'll place pictures in this later!!!

Mahalo

Got in, leaving soon!!!

We are back in Salem for three days...
What a great time in Florida. Was the first time married that we didn't have any major brake downs or problem, so good to see Jess getting to know more of my culture and friends and how we relate to each other. We did great together. We believe that we are in the spot of turning in our marriage, the first year is over and the hardships that we went through are pretty much done. We know that what we have in front of us is not going to be easy but we are full of hope after this last month!! I so wish we had this same time in Brazil or that we would go to Brazil now instead after two weeks of marriage and living in my brother's home.... The time there was hard because we didn't know each other and the foundation wasn't build up yet. I'm so glad though that it was in my brother's home and not anywhere else!!!

Pictures: Geocaching, Dolphins X Bengals (22row and 50 yard line, what a seats were given to us because of the Miami bad season!!) and New Year's Eve Calvary Chapel FL.

So we are here getting ready to go to Hawaii to visit Jess' home and family that didn't come to our wedding. We are exciting because we are going to have a family of supporters with us for two weeks from Wyoming. Five kids, Mom and Dad... will be amazing!!!
So Jess and myself are going to have just five days there alone to see everything and support raise a little...
We ready have the schedule for a soccer coaching class in February here in Oregon. 13 hours in how to coach teenagers...I'm more excited than Jess for that because I love soccer and she is starting play just now, so the rules scared her a little, but we will be there. This will open so many doors in Sudan because they love soccer too. After that we are moving to Minneapolis for couple of months.
Jess is still working a part time with nursing and I'm serving at the Base.
Blessings to you!!!
