More Owen Adventures in California

After returning from Hawaii both my and Joyce's parents met us in La Mirada. It was great to see them and have most of the family together. We all went together to church on Sunday at Michael and Samantha's church and enjoyed the worship service very much. (Picture here was taken in front of the church) After church we all went to lunch together and then drove down to San Diego to Matt and Kristin's place. We were able to have a family dinner with everyone there except Missy, who couldn't get away from work in Texas. We missed you Missy!

On Monday we celebrated Matt's graduation. He now has his master's degree in information science from Cal State. It was great to meet Matt's co-workers in the library at San Diego Christian College and many of his friends. It was also great to see some of Kristin's family at the party. We had a Guam BBQ with kelaguen and red rice ordered from a local Chammoro restaurant. Yes, there is one in San Diego. We planned to have the party at the lake but it is so cold in San Diego that we had to have it inside Matt and Kristin's apartment. It was still great. The picture on the left is of 4 generations of Owen men. We are also very excited that Matt now has a faculty position at SDCC.

Today (Tuesday), Matt (pictured here with his wife Kristin and somehow Titus seems to get in most of the pictures) arranged for me to meet with Dr. Paul Ague the president of SDCC and some of their top administrative people to discuss a possible partnership. They were very open to working with us and we are hoping to have a group from SDCC come out as early as May of 2009. I am praying that God will continue to raise up partners for us to do the work that needs to be done in the Pacific Islands.
