Wow,What a Show!

We just got back from the show. It was like being at the opening ceremonies of the olympics. People from over 35 countries walked in with flags from their countries. The performances lasted for two hours. Youth with a Mission has their own hula dancers that perform on the islands so they put on an amazing show. There was an awesome show done by the fire dancers who had batons of fire, there was a hip hop rap group and a breakdancer, a team of performers from Samou did a number, an asian number and a group that is performing at the highschools on the islands. It was a feast for the eyes. We ended up sitting in front of Lorne and Darlene Cunningham and their family. For those of you who haven't heard of them they are the founders of Youth with a Mission. They started this 46 years ago and are in their 70's.
Darlene's mom is in her 90's. She was behind us too. The thing that amazed me the most is this family has seen these shows a million times during their lifespan but they all acted like they were seeing it for the first time. It was an honour to over hear their comments throughout the evening. Of course Mike had to go up to Lorne after the show and shake his hand and tell him he read book 20 years ago. Too cute! Well, it's been an exciting first day in Hawaii. We truly are blessed to be here to experience this. This is my second post for the day. The first one is below this. Good night to everyone back in Canada. I feel like I have been around the world tonight. Red and yellow, black and white we are precious in His sight!
