From the middle of Canada to the middle of the ocean

When you are landing in Honolulu, all you can see is ocean around you. I was gripping Ben’s hand, just as he gripped my hand tighter too. We really were in the middle of the Pacific ocean. But our plane did touch down on concrete and we made it here safely.
 
Even though our trip to Hawaii started with a bit of fear, any fears we had about our living conditions in Kona Hawaii were alleviated today. An amazing 140 acre campus (only 20 acres developed at this point) of gorgeous buildings and landscaping. Our room is spacious and has a screened in sun porch. We are blessed to have a place that already feels like home, even after only one day. If only I had remembered to pack our coffee maker…
 
Tomorrow morning at 8:00am we start class with about 30 others from around the world. In the next few days we will be posting our study schedule for those of you who want to study with us. We commit to updating this site twice a week. Have a great weekend!
