Ok, so maybe my title isn't the best, but that I how I feel a little bit. As I am writing this blog this morning I realize that in less than 24 hours we will be working our way west back towards Hawaii. This is a realization that both excites me and saddens me. The reason that I am a little sad is that it has been so amazing to just hang out with this group of students for the past two weeks. It has been amazing to get to know them all better and to watch how the Spirit is transforming their lives. And going back to Hawaii means that I won't be able to hang out quite as much as we are now.
And yet that same reason is also what excites me. These teens have had an intimate experience with Jesus, and it is time for Hilo to realize that they have been with Jesus, that they are different from who they were before, and that they are ready to live in a more real way for the Kingdom of God! Who knows what Hilo is going to look like when they get back running after Jesus! Their friends lives are going to see them as people who follow Jesus with everything that they have. It will be amazing to see what transpires the next few months.
To let you know as well, we are planning on getting back to Hilo at about 7:30 pm tomorrow evening. We are headed straight to Coconut Island, where some of our students are desiring to be baptized. It will be awesome! We would love to have all of you there.
We'll see you all tomorrow!
