US Mainland Trip: Post #1 - Arrival In LA


I am sorry that it has been a week between posts. Steve Stinnette and I have been flying and driving around California and keeping pretty busy. Steve picked up a cold on the flight and has lost his voice but has still managed to attend all but one of our meetings. My throat is scratchy from the dry air but it has not slowed down my talking at all. No surprise there. We flew into LAX at 5 AM last Monday. A couple hours later we met with Kevin and Missy Elwell with whom we ministered for several years on Guam in school and church ministries. We had an enjoyable couple hours talking about old times on Guam and possibilities for future cooperation in ministry. We then drove over to La Mirada to Mike and Sam's place. As we walked into their apartment courtyard, Titus greeted me from the balcony with an enthusiastic "hi grandpa." We rested up and had a good time talking with Titus and Courage (pictured). Mike and Samantha will graduate from Talbot Seminary next Spring and plan to come out to Guam in the Fall of 2010 as Liebenzell Missionaries and PIU faculty. We talked about support raising and PIU plans over pizza and pizookies.  We are really looking forward to having them on Guam. They will be a great asset to the school and it will be great having our grandchildren there. After a long day, (We left Guam at 6 AM, flew 16 hours and arrived in LA an hour before we left) we went to bed early on Monday night.
