St. Matthews Baptist Church - Thanks


[Willis & Roberta Tasssie with Chie and Liane. Roberta was a longtime choir director at Olivet and also taught at HBA - Chie now teaches Japanese at HBA. Roberta's husband was instrumental in helping get the Pu'u Kahea Conference Center started.]

I wrote about some of our experiences being on pins & needles while waiting for Randy to arrive for our presentation at St. Matthews Baptist Church. (Some of you are probably wondering why a Baptist church is called St. Matthews - hey, I'm a mother and can read minds, didn't your mother know how to read your mind? The name takes after the name of the town.) Thanks to Rick for being at the airport ready to whisk Randy to St. Matthews and to Betty Jackson & Mary Ann (Betty's daughter) for picking up Randy's luggage. We also want to thank David Garrard, an internationally known professional Christian magician (read mre about David at his website - http://www.davidgarrardmagic.com) for inviting us to St. Matthews. David is currently Minister to Children at St. Matthews. He was in seminary with Randy and Danette. This was really a wonderful evening reuniting with old friends for Danette and the Hongos and meeting new friends for the rest of Master's Touch! (You can read much more about St. Matthews in our post: Reunion with Friends)
