All the kids are so well behaved and cheerful. We all got hungry for a snack about 8:30 after getting up and eating so early! Our favorite tour bus driver, Uncle Keith is with us again this year keeping us laughing with his jokes. He says he loves getting to spend time with the kids every year. Unfortunately, Hale Koa is taking over running KMC and has decided to discontinue the full tour bus service. We may have to make other arrangements next year. :-( We plan to wear out Uncle Keith so much this year that maybe he will need a longer break this time! We are taking loads of pictures and plan to share them all around when we get back. We are having such a great time so far--God has everything under control! We love all of you--even if we are too busy to think about you very much! More later! (Pray for a longer-lasting iPhone battery!)
We are here at the Lyman House Museum touring a missionary house built in 1839 by David and Sarah Lyman. They started Hilo Boarding School for native Hawaiian boys. The school was in operation until 1940, first training them to be missionaries and later becoming a trade school. The Lyman's original house is here and we can see where they lived as well as the workshop and storage rooms used by the school. Also in the museum is a wonderful rock and mineral collection, a shell collection, and areas dedicated to ancient and more modern Hawaiian history. We are learning a lot about what life was like for the first Christians in the Islands.
