As many of you know, my friend Josh Hawaii, and I go on vacation together after JV Kid’s camp every year. He has been married for almost a year now, but his wife Zuzi, was so kind to encourage us to go together for four days on vacation.  This was a complete surprise to me and I am so honored that she considers our friendship that important to encourage us in this!  This last week has been a great time of rest and refresh.  We found time to rest and read in hammocks, to swim, to pray together, to challenge each other in faith, and have adventure.  Two of the adventures we had, were wandering off to a beach in the north part of the peninsula and renting a speed boat for a couple hours to wander around the bay.  The next fun thing we did was stand up paddle boarding in a river that is clear as glass with a tint of green, you could literally see 60-80 feet down in the water.  In the end of the paddle boarding we found a waterfall to jump off of and swim under.  This time of rest was so needed.  It is great after a summer of 18 hour days, non-stop work to be able to be in charge of nothing, just carefree with a good friend.  Praise God that He loves us so much to call us to His work, but also makes us lie down in green pastures and rest in Him (and with a good friend)
