Aloha family and friends-
I thought I would take the opportunity to say hello and let you know what has been going on since the last time I wrote. I have been back on island two and a half weeks and have been kept very busy.
When I signed up to tutor this summer I thought I was going to be tutoring 1hour a day three days a week. It has turned into three hours a day five days a week. So I am up at school at 6:45 am, tutor until almost 10am, work in my classroom for a couple of hours and then go home and work on projects around the house. I have cleaned up my yard after being gone for five weeks. Planted a plumeria tree, a bird of paradise, eight bouganvilla (sp??), two hibiscus, and several other plants. Had a massive garage sale this past weekend so I have spent time getting everything priced and organized. Came home to a huge garbage bag full of box tops and Campbell's labels. I have cut a bundled over 11,000 labels and about 170$ worth of box tops. Mahalo nui to all who have sent those to support our school. Please keep them coming!
Wednesday afternoon Bible Study has been going again for the past two weeks. I had two high school girls the first week and then four different ones this week. These girls desire to be in the Word and learn more about what God has for them. Please keep praying that God will continue to grow these girls into His image.
This summer has also been a time of good byes. Between all of the trips to the airport to say goodbye to close friends and all of the going away parties, I am beginning to not like the airport. But God is faithful to provide all that is needed!!!
At the moment, five girls are here at the house eating pizza and watching movies. We spent the afternoon at the beach and now we are just hanging out. Two of the girls, Candace and Amber, leave for the mainland on Saturday so I am trying to spend time with them before they leave. Outside of my house, all of the neighborhood kids are setting off fireworks, so it is quite smokey and loud!!!
Well I will sign off for now. Hope everything is going well for you!!! I would love to talk with you and know what is going on in your life.
Much love and God's blessings,
Angela
