Nelson’s journal 3/31/22  

Though Nelson feels sick in a variety of ways, he doesn’t dwell on that in this journal entry. Instead he focuses on the positive and the many ways God has blessed him.

Getting on, or staying on the right path is one of the biggest prayer requests people probably have. We are in the 3rd week of being parents. It’s going pretty good and seems pretty obvious that our little guy is like me, a little restless and likes action and has a thick skin.

Our Little Red Church is handing over the land to the owners of that land on Easter Sunday. It will be our last time meeting there as a Baptist congregation. I think it’s weird how things come to an end like that. We are ready for it to end, but it still doesn’t feel that great to have pastored a church for 6 years and at the end of my time, it closed. I guess it’s ok and God knew it would be that way from the beginning.

Annso and I have been thinking of leaving Hawaii for the entire Summer. We want to buy a Toyota motor home and travel from California to the Ark [in Kentucky] where we will meet the rest of the family in early July.

Then after that, we head overseas to Germany and finish at the Brentwood retreat in England, then back to the US mainland. We could take the RV back across the country and either sell it in the west or actually ship it back here to Hawaii.

It would be nice to have a break from Kokua Crew and hang out like a family for a while, just the 3 of us. After that, we might have a clearer idea of what to do, either coming back to Hawaii or calling it quits and going to Michigan and buying a house. And I become a fixit man. lol. Probably some kind of call on my life toward ministry.

I am thankful for our little baby, for Annso’s patient and sweet spirit. I am thankful that Will is healthy, that Mom was able to come out, that Bates [Klaus, left] was able to come out too.
