We're Back

We had a great time in Hawaii (despite some frustrations about our last accomodations). I will make a few videos of pictures when I have a chance and post those along with some pics. For now, I realized that I hadn't put any pictures from our end of the quarter class potluck from a couple of weeks ago. I put them on facebook, but not here. So here is a picture of my class with students from Burma (refugee to Thailand), Bhutan (but have been in refugee camps in Nepal), Ukraine, Russia, Iraq, Yap (Micronesia), Marshall Islands (also Micronesia), and not pictured are Burundi, Congo, and Somalia. I start back to work tomorrow.

Yesterday, we went to a local art festival and met up with some friends there. We are really thankful to have some believing friends here that we "mesh" with. After the art festival, we went to our friends' house for dinner and a game of Settlers. Thanks Carli and Landon for a fun time yesterday!
Stay tuned for Big Island videos!
