The last member of our family has arrived!

Our truck arrived, I was so happy, it was a little piece of home that we brought with us and seeing it, driving it, was such a comforting feeling. It has not only alleviated the stress of needing to find a dependable car, but it has also made us some friends. Dani took the kids to the beach one morning and there were some guys that were surfing. When they came in they started talking to Dani, the subject being our Toyota. One of them lives down the road from us, and recognized the truck, even though it only arrived three days before. They were commenting on it and began talking, come to find out one of them has 27 acres of nearly ocean front property just down the street from where we are currently living. Furthermore they have a bus they have been wanting to add on to and turn it into a livable space that they can rent to supplement income. If all that wasn’t enough, they love God and have kids Lily and Gabe’s ages. In the next couple of months I will be working for them and instead of paying me all the money that I might earn will go directly towards future rent. I get to build my family a home, for who knows how long on the Big Island. We were there for dinner the other night, sitting on their porch talking about details when a huge eruption of water shoots out of the ocean, the Hump Back whales were jumping. I love this place!
