More from La Mirada

We have been enjoying our week here with Michael, Samantha and the kids. Please forgive us for putting up a lot of pictures of the grandkids! We have been helping them slowly move to their new apartment. We take over 3-4 loads a day from the old to the new apartment. They have until next week to get moved in. Today was the first cool day since we have been here. It has been in the high 90's to low 100's since we have been here. Last night it cooled off and today's high here was in the 70's, which feels very cold to us.

We went with Mike and Sam on Sunday to the Grace Evangelical Free Church. They have been going there since before they were married. They are active in the Grace groups and kids ministries there. Titus was right at home in Sunday school and in the nursery. We had one of those weird coincidences happen during the service. A young woman sat in front of us who looked familiar for some reason. When she introduced herself we found out that she was Abby Wright, the daughter of old friends and long time supporters of our ministry, Randy and Julie Wright. Small world! We enjoyed the service and meeting some of Mike and Sam's friends.

Today I met with Dennis Dirks the Academic Dean at Talbot Seminary to talk about some possibilities of PIBC and Talbot doing ministry together. We had a good meeting and are continuing to explore the possibilities. Please pray that we will pursue this according to God's will. It would be great to have a partner like Biola/Talbot.

I will be heading to Hawaii tomorrow to attend the Hawaii Theological Seminary graduation. I'll be there for three days. We are still working on a partnership that would establish a PIBC site in Honolulu. I would also appreciate your prayers on that. I will come back to California on Saturday for one more week of vacation.
