Yesterday we spent the afternoon with experienced grandparents and very gracious hosts Ann and Jim Wills. Next week, they will host a "40 Below" BBQ for City Church of Honolulu, for singles and families in that age range. So they invited us over to "preview" their condo facilities: a fourth-floor outdoor playground, swimming pool, picnic area, tennis court, and two grass dog runs, complete with decorative fire hydrants.
Ann took videos of the kids' pool antics, so we're posting a few here for your enjoyment. Jim is in the pool in one of the videos; you will hear Ann's voice off-camera. A couple of the videos show the fruit of Daniel's swimming lessons; others show Ryan flirting with death . . . or at least a hernia.
Thanks to everyone who prayed for Ryan's sermon on Sunday! He did very well. Pastor Andy was out of town, and our elder, Simpson (that's right, we have only one!), called in sick at the last minute, so besides preaching, Ryan had to run much of the service by himself. Rocky led worship, and, at Ryan's request, sang "Rock of My Salvation," a favorite from our time together at Astoria Community Church.
Ryan says he will absolutely NOT be posting his sermon on the blog. Guess that means everyone will have to come visit the next time he preaches. We'll see you here!

I love those videos especially the jump of the kids. Daniel is a good swimmer now. How nice the island is!!!
Hi Carrie,
Just got back from the ASA in Albuquerque last night, and am rewarding myself for putting in a full day at the office in spite of jetlag--those clips are hilarious, Sophie got her revenge on Ryan, didn't she?!
But, where are you? Couldn't catch a glimpse of you in any of the clips.....
Miss you tons,
KS
