A little Hawaiian update...

Some of you have been asking me how things are going in Molokai with my in-law's restaurant, and how Rod is doing after his accident.

Well, The restaurant is finally open. They have be super busy which is a great thing. There are a few kinks that they are trying to work out, but they are hopeful and things are going better than expected.

Rod's accident was scary. We really didn't know the extent of his injuries until after they transported him to Oahu. By some miracle they didn't have to do surgery and Rod was actually released the next day. He has some nasty open holes in his arm that have to be packed with gauze and changed often to prevent infection, and a grapefruit sized nodule in his thigh that has been giving him some discomfort. Both are starting to heal though. Rod sent us this picture of his truck. It looks like one that has been sitting out in a junk yard for a while, but this really is, or was, his truck. Our family knows that he was being watched over and protected!

Thanks to all you great friends who know how great Rod and Kerrie are for keeping them in your prayers and asking about how they are doing. It is nice to have such great support, even when we don't get to see each other very often!

That truck looks a lot worse than I expected it to!! I can't believe that he walked away with no serious injuries. Angels must have been watching him! Love ya!
