lyndee: WHAT!?!?!?!?! WHEN?!?!? and why have you not told US?!?!?!? Okay, now you have no excuse for not coming to the wedding in october. are you guys here in hawaii now? what is the deal?

at 08:50PM 08/17/08

joel: Most excellent. Where will you live?

at 09:01PM 08/17/08

jenjohnston: oh my - okay! haha... @lyndee - we just returned from the big island. we are partnering up with Jenny & Sully (pictured here) to 1) start a camp on 6 acres of their land for churches and community groups to use and 2) to start a School of Worship. We don't know the exact timing yet. We may be in Mammoth through this school year, or it could be sometime between January and May.

at 09:02PM 08/17/08

jenjohnston: @lyndee again - Peter & Sean are planning to fly back in October for the wedding and to go to Jenny & Sully's again! I really REALLY want to come to the wedding but don't know how I can, but we'll see. The kids will be in school, so it's not easy during that time.

Jenny & Sully have 30 acres in North Kohala, the farthest north you can go on the Big Island.
