Two Weeks to Go!

Hello from Camrose!
We are getting down to the last bits of planning, and getting more excited!
Soon we will actually have to decide what to leave and what to take!
I am busy planning the Christmas program with my teachers, for Messiah Lutheran, and also making sure they have lessons ready for the time I am gone, since I am the Children's Ministry Coordinator.
We get together for Sorenson Christmas on Nov. 8 which will seem different, but be fun!
So far there are 8 other people I know who will be in Kona when we are. The Smiths from Shaunavon, SK. who were next door to us last year, and who I have seen since at White Valley Church in May, come the same day and flight as us! There are 6 of them. Then Phil's Mom, Berniece, and her husband Per arrive before us. And I have heard of others who are thinking of going sometime in the future and some who already have plans to be there. (Shirley Wig and and granddaughter Courtney Wig in January!).
It's a great place to be a servant and meet others too from around the world!
This summer Len and I spent 3 days with friends I had worked and lived with in Hawaii last year. They live by a beautiful lake in Iowa and it was such a blessing to be with them again.
Who knows what experiences and blessings are in store!
We'll keep you posted.
Love in Jesus,
Marlys
