Fall is the busiest quarter of the year. Fall means the biggest DTS of the year and the SBFM added into the works also. This year we have our biggest SBFM with 23 students

Fall also means back to school for the boys. Timmy is now a sophomore at Kamehameha Schools Maui and Elias is in 3rd grade. At the start of the school year, Elias was on the cross-country team. Timmy has just started wrestling season.

Fall brings 2 birthdays. Tim turned 15 and Tom turned 46 (which still qualifies as ‘mid-40’s’).

Fall is Tom’s busiest teaching schedule; 4 1/2 weeks at Maui schools and three weeks on other ywam bases. He’s currently teaching at the ywam base on Kauai.

In the midst of this busy time, Hoku had the opportunity to go to the island of Kahoolawe with her sister to help with that island’s restoration. Together they worked on erosion control as part of the long term plan to re-green the island with native plants.

As look toward celebrating thanksgiving next week, we are reminded of God’s grace and his goodness to us. May you also be reminded of God’s blessings on your life.
