Time to Head Back to Okinawa


The trip was such a blast. The weather was perfect until Sunday evening. We were swimming, the sun was shinning, the weather was perfect! Then the storm came in, and we are talking a storm. The winds and rains were so hard in the matter of minutes. The tents were flooded, and everyone was soaking wet! But God is so good. Praise the Lord we had some tarps, set the camp back again and we were ready to cook dinner. The night was a little scary. The storm hit again and we did not know if the Ferry would be running the next day. We were running out of food and did not have supplies for another day. But in the words of Tom Cotton "this too shall pass". That is what he told me in the middle of the storm. Those words rang clear in my heart in the middle of the night as the rain was pounding. Some of the guys had to clear out of their tent as it began to pour. Joe and Dave slept on a chair while Mike laid on the picknic table. 5 dudes slept in the van. But it was awesome! Every one was so blessed. God is so good!
