Season of Advent

It is hard to believe that Christmas is next week. We hope all you, our friends and family have enjoyed this advent season, in preparation for the birth of our King. It has been fun taking part in various Christmas festivities, even though it feels a bit surreal in this warm climate. We have enjoyed the Christmas village festival, making our own decorative wreaths, decorating the tree & the boutique :), attending the Children's Pageant at the 1st Church in Hawaii, and the annual Kona Christmas parade to name a few. I (Amy), actually saw a snowman on the side of the road. Kids had brought some snow down from Mauna Kea or Loa, and made it. I don't think it will last very long here though. Poor snowman. God Bless you all in this last week of advent. Keep Christ the Centre. Love you All.

Hi,
Some very nice Christmas stuff. Our concert is tomorrow night. Out class is doing the nativity scene. We picked out the costumes today and the kids are very excited. Our "Mary" sings a beautiful solo of Silent Night. I accompany here on the guitar. Worked for the last two nights at the Lefse house. Today after school our staff went bowling.Quite fun. Without Kara home I have no chance of making my own posting. It is now warming up here -14 if anyone is interested.
Love, Len (Dad) alias Janet Akre

Hi,
I guess I'm Paul Engen now. I feel
pretty good I was able to chance my name all by myself.

I have a snowman picture from last year -- the snowman does not look so healthy: http://flickr.com/photos/jschroe/2174022660/
