Homeward bound...

Time has flown by, our two weeks in Hawaii are over and tonight I'll be heading back to Europe. Our leadership meetings went well and there were many encouragements (more about that in  my next newsletter) as well as one or two challenges - like the saga of my broken suitcase, and the fact that I came down with a bout of bronchitis. I'm hoping my lungs are sufficiently recovered that I can make my four flights without too much coughing. We had good times of worship and celebration with the broader YWAM family here on campus, including one night where they honoured us and celebrated the KKI 40th anniversary with us.

We were able to make some decisions about leadership structure and future steps, as well as to begin planning for the big events we are holding in Africa this summer. As this Hawaii trip draws to a close, my next step will be to find and book the plane tickets I need for going to the Ivory Coast and Senegal from July to September.

Amidst the many days of meetings, we also took a day and a half for relaxation. One day a group of us went to visit a Kona coffee farm, and another day we went for a picnic to a beautiful beach. Our meetings finished last night and the big exodus began today. Some have already left, and I'll be leaving this evening, flying from Kona to Seattle, then on to Amsterdam and Edinburgh. After a couple of days in Scotland, I'll fly back to Spain at the weekend. Thanks for your prayers.
