Learning to Trust

Aloha Family and Friends!

Welcome to another episode of "Hendrickson's in Hawaii"! Today's show features mini road trips, new jobs, and a story of trust. Get ready!

 As I mentioned a few posts ago, Andrew recently passed his exam and submitted his results to the state of Hawaii to become a licensed producer for insurance. Well, as of yesterday Andrew dotted the i's and crossed the t's and officially signed a contract with Aflac! Andrew will start his training on Monday. He is really excited for this opportunity (and is thankful to his friend Britton Johnson who recommended him for the job..thanks Brit!) Aflac sounds like a great company and Andrew is excited to get started. He even gets to go to Oahu next month for some more training! Thank you all for your prayers in this, I know they were heard :)

On a less happy note, our car was broken into today while I was at work. The thieves not only took my new purse (which was buried under the driver's seat) and busted out our driver side window, but also took a crow bar to the driver side door handle. The damage is pretty severe and unfortunately our insurance doesn't cover repair work on the car. That's the bad news. The good news is my wallet was in the glove box and not my purse! Credit cards, cash and ID are all safe- what a blessing!

Even with all the chaos today, I couldn't help but feel at peace. We are so thankful that God provided Andrew with a job this week. We are thankful that my wallet wasn't stolen today. And we are thankful to know that God will never leave us or forsake us.

Thanks for your prayers.

Love,
Andrew & Haley

P.S. The following..eh hem...several pictures are what I like to call "drive by shooting" from our mini roadtrip to the other side of the island (most are taken from the window of our little car). All the pictures were taken between Waikoloa and Hilo (about a 2 hour drive) It was so amazing to us to see all the beauty in the landscape and the creativity that God has! How crazy is it that we went from deserts, to forests, to green rolling mountains, to green pastures with cows, to jungles to beaches all in 2 hours!?
