We are now engaged in the same activity that you probably are--preparing for Vacation Bible School, which we will have June 15-26. The children of our community are usually engaged in so many daytime summer activities that our VBS attendance is quite small.

of the tidal wave signal on the sirens. Then we quickly"V,turn on our radios to learn the detailswhen the wave is expected, where,.it has already '-'feeen and what damage it has caused. We were glued to the radio this time as we learned of the damage to the west coast, and considered the possibility of damage here# The first tidal wave action comes in the form of a mighty recession cf water# Announcers described the lowering of the water in the Ala Wai canal three

They were,but not enough to cause damage here on Oahu# There was some loss on the other islands. We are fortunate to live considerably above sea-level, because those in the lowlying areas have to evacuate at the first warning eind not return to their h'omes until the "all-clear" is scunded, which is usually several hours. We are so thankful for your interest, prayers, and other support.
God guide and use you in His service there.
