Day 12, Sunday in Rarotonga.

What a great day. Nancy drove in early in the car so all the rest of us rode to church on the scooters/cycles, never did that before. Another first, Ron wore shorts and sandals to church. He's scheduled to preach next Friday and Saturday nights, and he's wondering if he can preach in shorts. Not that it's not allowed, they all do it, but he just doesn't know if HE can do it. We had about 100 in church today, which is their all time record, but they are expecting even more by next Sunday after a two page interview with pictures runs in the local paper next Saturday. Nancy asked the YWAM youth to run the kids program today and next weekend. They were pretty overwhelmed, they expected 8-10 kids and there were about 30, in a hot upstairs room with only a few fans, and it was HOT today. About 34 (98 F) when we got home from church. I guess February is their hottest month here, wish we had known that before agreeing to come over! Oh well, we would have come anyway. When "Dad" calls, you come a'runnin'. Worship was great, even without a keyboard and a female lead, I don't get it, but I guess it can happen. They had about 30 visitors this morning, which was very exciting. No ministry today, Murray preached and prayed a dedication for their new building and told everyone they would be prayed for next weekend during the "Fresh Revivial Meetings". Ron and I are speaking at the Men's (Tues) and Women's (Wed) cell meetings this week to be held here at Murray's house. That should be fun. We ate lunch at Sails again, they were having a remote control sailboat race right in front of the restaurant and lots of people with their kids were swimming and canoeing. It was a beautiful afternoon. As it started cooling off, after calling Chloe & Alley and talking for just a few minutes, we rode around the Island as the sun was setting. We stopped every now and then and just enjoyed the view. What a great day.
