California Adventure

We spent our last day in California taking Michael, Samantha and Titus to the Disney California Adventure. (Thanks to a friend who got us free tickets). This followed three days of helping Michael and Samantha get settled into seminary. We were able to get them some baby furniture (I couldn't resist buying Titus a few toys - every boy needs a ball and glove and of course a little xylophone.) and put some food in their refrigerator. They have a friend who is giving them some furniture but they will not get it until September so we all slept on the floor. They were able to pay their school bill for the semester and first month's rent but the rest they are taking by faith. Please pray that both Mike and Sam will find a job by September 1st so they can meet expenses.

I also had an opportunity to visit another potential PIBC partner, California Graduate School of Theology. I was impressed with their high quality faculty and am looking forward to working with them.

Back to California Adventure... It was a lot of fun to experience it with a baby. Titus' head was turning every direction as fast as it could go taking it all in. Actually, I think his favorite ride was the tram from the parking lot. He also very much enjoyed the Monster's Inc. ride. He played with the mariachi band (percussion) and, since he wanted a balloon, grandpa bought him a big green Mickey Mouse balloon. It was a great family day. We are already missing our family, especially the little guy.

We are now in Hawaii meeting with some partners and potential partners. (More on that on the next post.) We will be speaking at Palisades Baptist Church tomorrow and hope to all spend some time with Juanita, Sandy and Rose Simpson, Liebenzell missionaries on Hawaii. We will fly back to Guam on Monday.
