Aloha!
(finally)
It has been a long time since I've written...a long time for a blogger. Actually, there have been almost no chances for me to blog up until today...there is just so much to do here! Angelina and I rise with the sun, just to make our day last longer.
A little update:

Hawaiian wind. The palm trees waved to us... the landscape was waiting there for us with its beautiful flowers. What a pleasant Aloha it was...very special!
And...So...
We have been here exactly six days.
six **fabulous** days.
We have been here exactly six days.
six **fabulous** days.
So far, we have met sooo many wonderful people! People from different cultural backgrounds... some very lovely accents here! And...even though this may be paradise...it's not paradise until every soul makes Jesus the Lord of their life! I don't expect people to be perfect and I definitely am not perfect but being here so far has really opened up my eyes to the many problems people face here. One of those problems being... an addiction to smoking marijuana. From what I've heard, many people here grow it in their backyards. I also heard this bad habit (of burning it) has destroyed many lives and families. Guess What? We were offered some the second day of being here. The people who offered it to us were in a situation were they were the only ones doing it and so out of their unease, they thought they could get us to do it...which was very awkward and unexpected. If my Creator wanted me to smoke, He would have fashioned me a chimney, lol. You will find every "type" of person addicted to this stuff...all it takes is one time to smoke it.
Remember that...
All it takes is one time to lose your head.
Some choose to smoke it but interestingly enough, I would like to eat the plant! Based on my research, it is an extremely healing herb...the oil is extracted from the plant and you can either drink the oil or apply it topically, it even heals cancer! I met an individual today who grows it and said you can eat it...said the plant can get up to ten feet tall (like a christmas tree), although they like to keep theirs small.
It is now 11 pm and I have had a full day! I will continue writing tomorrow...with pics!
