Here is a recap of the final days of our friends Hiob and Leah and their children Micah and Jireh in Guam. They have returned to Palau where Hiob will serve as senior pastor of the Koror Evangelical Church. We all started together at PIBC back in fall 2006 and we have worked together, laughed together, cried together, prayed together, and grown together. Although it is hard to say goodbye, we know that they will be a blessing to the Church in Palau, and we find comfort in the words of the Michael W. Smith song "Friends": friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them. Amen! We had a BBQ in their honor on campus at the beginning of June before the Thai mission team left. Delight posed with Micah and Hiob during a break from barbecuing. He is a fantastic barbecuer. Notice he's even holding the tongs, to a barbecuer what a hammer is to a carpenter. As always, everyone enjoyed the food, the centerpiece of any Micronesian celebration. Before our friends left,
Marisol, Joel, Amelia and I want to wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. We all have so much to thank the Lord for, and we need to spend more time giving thanks. "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name" (Psalm 100:4). We will be traveling to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Birdsboro for the big day, our first with them since 2005. We will miss the PIU celebration in Guam, which we enjoyed for four years in a row. Love to all our friends and family far and near.
