We have had a wonderful day! During the sermon we could watch spinner dolphins dancing out in the water! And after we watched eels in the water!
We are off to a farewell party tonight to a few Mission Builders, but promise we will post again very soon, maybe later tonight, and have pictures very soon too.

Our Work Duties at University of the Nations
Here is a post showing a bit of the work we do here at YWAM, just to prove that we do work. One week of working has already come and gone. Next week we will be preparing for the big American Thanksgiving celebrations that will take place on Thursday and Friday. Everyone will be working in the kitchen on Thursday for the big feast. Friday we are lucky and only work a 4 hour day in lieu of thanksgiving and will go to the beach and have our own celebrations Friday night with the other mission builders here. Yesterday (Sat), we went to the Hilton Hotel and enjoyed swimming, snorkling, shopping etc. Pictures soon to come. Please check again soon.

Sunday
Well, here are a couple pics of our Sunday. We went to church at Living Stones, a church right off the water. After we went with some of the other Mission Builders on an afternoon trip to Mauna Kea Beach. The afternoon was full of boogie boarding and frisbee and getting a little burnt. Jesse found a golf course on the top of the rocks too.
Today is Monday, and we have actually started working, and working hard, in case you were wondering... :) We had to be up and on the van to campus at 5:55am. Wow, that is early. Jeremiah worked all day scrubbing rice pots in the kitchen! Go Jeremiah. He was actually sweating, Amy witnessed it. Jesse worked with the Canadian Team doing construction, he even got to take orders from Per. He enjoyed knocking down an entire wall Marlys did up her first day starting with doing dishes for an hour in the morning and then in the boutique sorting clothes. She was very popular today as the boutique hasn't been open for a week (it's a mini store where clothes etc. are donated by students and families, and others can come pick up what they like/need). Amy got to make a mass amount of salad for an hour in the morning, then she worked with 2 great Swedish girls, doing lots of laundry, maybe 12+ loads and cleaning hotel rooms.
That is all for now. More in a bit. Hope you are all doing well.

Ist Day in Kona & Coffee Festival
Today was our first full day in Kona. We went to the yearly coffee festival which Marlys & Cathy went to last year. Crazy to be back in just under a year. We got to make woven fish out of coconut palm, see the beach and go to the farmers market. We had a mission builder orientation meeting at 4pm, and then we went to supper and had a great meal of mahimahi fish. Yum. The guys went down and played beach volleyball with some of the other volunteers and the gals walked down to the stores by the water. Its been a nice first day. Stay tuned for more pictures.

A Few Pics From San Francisco
We (Jeremiah, Amy & Marlys) had a layover in San Francisco and were able to go see some of the city. We took the BART city train down to Fisherman's Wharf, and walked around a bit. Here is some of what we saw and did. It was a beautiful day. About 25 degrees with a little breeze.
CRAB!
