Always looking forward, Nelson tries to tackle a couple of issues that are still up in the air. They’ve decided to leave Hawaii and their ministry for the summer but need a couple to step in for them with their Kokua Crew. It’s a big job, and not too many people want to take it on. The whole thing is complicated by continuing Covid rules and restrictions in Hawaii.
Then there’s the trip to meet the extended family in Kentucky around the 4th of July, to visit the Ark Encounter as a group of 28. Should it be a flight? A car rental? Or a motor home from the West Coast to the Midwest?

Everything I hear about this so called Pandemic and how it’s going to be handled in the future it terrifying, and I keep telling myself that we are on the way out and hopefully things will stay somewhat “normal” from now on. Somehow, I know it’s not true. We are in for a real ordeal I think.
I sit here after a night awake with our little man. He’s eating a lot now, and he’s healthy and doing super good. I think he’s like me, restless and ready for non-stop action. I hope we can handle him. Haha.

What season is it? This week’s sermon is about knowing what time it is. What is God saying? Is there a prophetic voice to listen to? What should we be gathering? Or what should we be casting away?
Ann Sophie and I have all these cars and mopeds. We don’t have property. Possessions can help you, but they can tie you down. We insure the cars, pay for fuel. It’s fun, but maybe it’s time to thin the herd a little.
Bates [Klaus] left Hawaii yesterday. I am trying to think of someone to run Hale Ola while we’re gone this Summer. We offered it to a few folks, but now we have no one. Is there anyone else, Lord? Who else could run this thing?
I feel the Kokua Crew are the ones to think about here. You put together the staff teams, Lord, and I know you bring the participants. You have done it over and over, and I know you will do it this time, too.
I pray for the right people to run the place over the Summer while we are gone, and for us to get the best Toyota motor home for our trip that we can, with the money we have. I am grateful for the idea in the first place.
We have always dreamed of going across America in a motor home, and it seems like our trip of choice. Thank you for making it possible. Help me decide if it’s better to get the motor home in advance or just to buy it on the way. You know all things, and we are thankful for your leading.
Thank you that Bob is willing to lead the Easter Sunrise Service as we pass the church off to the next group. Thank you for allowing us to be there for this length of time. Thank you that we are not going to be the ones to close it after all, but that, in your grace and mercy, you have given us the chance to pass it off to other believers.
