Aloha- Day 7-8

 

While the photos from this past week might look like a classic Hawaiian vacation, it’s been so much more than swimming in the ocean and sipping guava juice. Again and again, we found ourselves in conversations with generous, wise people—about Hawaiian history and culture, about faith, about missions, about who gets to tell the story, about aloha, ohana, and āina.

I’m so grateful for this week—grateful to be in a place of such beauty, yes, but even more grateful for the chance to learn, to listen, to grow. And what a gift that all of this unfolded while we soaked up the sun, got sand in our toes, and let the islands teach us what they hold.

Katie, Tiffany and I pulled our beds outside Tuesday night as the cabins were hot and it was fun to sleep under the stars :)
