Hanukkah in Hilo








So, a lot has happened since our last blog. Last weekend, we bought a car! We have named it "Queen B" or just "B" for short. Why, you say? Because it is a BLESSING, because it is BEAUTIFUL, because it is not the "A" car that we wanted...but oh well. It is a 2000 Subaru Legacy Wagon with 172,000 miles on it...WOO HOO!!! We just want to keep it moving!



Also, this week is Hanukkah and on the first night we celebrated with Pastor Ron and Judy and Wilke and her boyfriend Brandon. It was fun! Tiffany made Hanukkah cookies and Judy and Wilke made Matsa Ball Soup and Potato Pancakes. Wilke sang a blessing in Hebrew and then lit the Menorrah and then we sat around talking for a while in its glow. Also, Judy decorated the house with Hanukkah things and even put up the star of David in Christmas lights in the window. It was pretty.










The other great news we have is that in two days we are moving into a condo! It is right on Hilo Bay on the 7th floor with a beautiful view of the entire Bay, Ocean, and Downtown. The Lord has really blessed us and it came just in time, as Ron's daughter moves back to Hilo on that day. We will have to upload some pictures once we get it decorated!

We miss everyone back in Maryland and elsewhere...we really feel so far away with the distance and the time difference. We thank everyone for the weather reports (SNOW!!!) and the holiday cheer and hope that everyone is doing well and is excited about celebrating Jesus' birthday!

Until next time,

Aloha!

Tiffany and Josh Mitchell
