Back on Guam
After two and one-half months in California, we are back on Guam. While in California, we spoke in a different church up and down the California coast EVERY Sunday. Since we have to raise 100% of our own support for our work here, we are hoping t
hat as a result of these efforts, we will have gained additional supporters. We actually really enjoyed the opportunity we had to worship in different churches, to meet new people, and to reconnect with old friends. But, alas, the time came to say goodbye to California and to return to our work on Guam. Although we very mu
ch looked forward to returning to our work at Pacific Islands University, we dreaded having to say goodbye to our family. It was especially sad for us to leave behind our son, Christian, who just turned 18 in July, because 
he will be joining his brother, Teyler (21 years old), at Westmont College in a couple of weeks. Below are some pictures of the goodbyes which probably speak louder than any explanation.

The tears come close to the surface looking at these pictures. I can't imagine leaving those 2 handsome and lovable guys behind, but I know God is blessing you and will fill those lonely times with His presence. We saw Christian last night at Crossroads classic car event. I got 2 hugs from him!
It is hard to say good-bye but good that your boys can be together.
Praying as you all resettle into Guam life again.
it's been 14 years since we sent Shawna off to Argentina for her Sophomore (full calendar) year of college. Your photos brought those feelings back! And in about 7 weeks she'll be a mom! I'm so glad that your sons have family in California.
Ciao from Italy

The tears indicate that it is hard to see the separation between two or more friends that they have really close relationship with each other. And what about the family?
