Hi, everyone! Well, this is my last day in Canyon Lake; I have certainly enjoyed my stay, had lunch with Ken and his mother Jane yesterday. I have been so blessed with their great hospitality, staying at their home here, just 20-30 minutes south of Riverside. I'll be making the long drive to Ventura County for my last leg of my Southern California portion of the sabbatical. I've been advised to leave early to make the 140 miles to Ventura, so I plan to leave by 9AM to make my 2PM appointment with Pastor Tracy Cook of Grace Church and then make connections with Tim Logerquist later that afternoon. Karen has gone back to work this week and I appreciate your prayers for her, Hannah & Jacob as they make the adjustments being back in Hilo. Jacob is at camp this week and next week and Hannah is continuing her intership with Ken and Gail; I am encouraged by the numbers of our third service, trusting that God will guide us beyond the summer trial period. It appears that God has placed our "Love God, Love People and Serve" process heavy on my heart and one of the keys that he is showing me that the intimacy or depth of our relationship with God and with one another is essential for our mission to make disciples. I have felt and been encouraged by your prayers! thank you again for this time away! I love and miss you all! Daniel
