The Lord is light and salvation; let us praise him!

One of the great things about the military are the life-long friendships. This past week we were blessed to have part of our military family “Ohana” stay with us here in Kailua.

Valentina, Gabriella, and the Mum Janine once again braved the Military’s Space-A travel system and traveled from Japan to Hawaii. Once here, all 7 ladies and Papa had a wonderful time catching up, going to the beach, and sightseeing.

We look forward to visiting Kappy and his lovely ladies once they transfer to their next duty station in Naples, Italy.

Ciao Bella!

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.

Blessed are you, O God of the universe, giver of all good gifts!

Pictured above are Papa and Ella exactly ten years ago on 05 March 2005.

This is one of our favorite pictures – it captures the energy and optimism that is at Ella’s core.

We truly believe that Ella’s mission is to bring people closer to God.

Please take a moment – right now – to thank God for all the blessings in your life.

Thank you for your prayers.

God bless you.
