We got here late last night and went straight to bed. This morning we got up early and had a little worship time and a short devotion to get our day started.

After a long day of hard work, we decided to go the Salt Pond beach. What a great way to end the day!

We started our day today on the beach with worship and a devotion. It's awesome to learn about God surrounded by His beautiful creation.

This morning we went on a hike to Ho'opi'i Waterfall. We loved walking through God's creation and seeing the beauty of Kauai.

This morning we went to the beach for our last morning worship and devo. It is a little bittersweet, we are sad to leave, but also excited to share about our amazing week with our loved ones back home.

Before we leave for the airport we wanted to surround the church with prayer. We prayed over the church, the members, and the community.

Chelsea is obsessed with ube ice cream and had to have one last scoop before we leave. We all think she will have withdrawals once she gets home.
