I have just begun my year as a student missionary in the pacific islands. I will be spending a year in Saipan working in the office of the SDA elementary school. I will also be substitute teaching when needed.
As of now I am in Hawaii for orientation. But I will be leaving tomorrow morning for my island.
I have enjoyed my time in Hawaii. All of the students going to the islands converged on the island of Honolulu for four days. Most of us will be leaving tomorrow to go to our islands. We have been to many meetings designed to help us though the days ahead, though many of us wonder if any meeting can prepare us for the experience we will be facing. We have gotten to know each other better, and have made several friends that will be a major help to us when we are having a rough time on our respective islands.
So tomorrow afternoon I will be flying out of Hawaii to begin the adventure of a lifetime.
