We arrived to Kauai on July 6, 2015 right on our 19th wedding anniversary. It was about a month later that I asked Abba when were we going to meet more believers who know about the Feasts and Y’shua? The very next day, a man knocked on our door. His name is Thomas. He noticed Sofia’s Tzitzits she was wearing and he had a shocked look on his face. Then I saw what he was looking at and he asked me if we were…… and I responded, “Israel?” He had tears in his eyes and that is when I invited him inside because he wanted to listen to our testimony. It took 4 hours for me to share all that had happened to us from Nov. 2013 until our move July 2015 up to the point of meeting him. He wanted us to meet a group of believers the following Friday.

While Thomas was standing there, I noticed he had a book in his hands called: Who is ISRAEL? Redeemed Israel by Batya Ruth Wootten. When he showed it to me, I knew exactly what he was holding, that is why he wanted to listen to our testimony. This is why he gifted us the frame because the cover of the book is pretty much what is on this frame. Can you see how this was a divine appointment?

Ezekiel 37:15-28
One Kingdom, One King
15 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’— 19 say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.” ’ 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
24 “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will [a]make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’ ”

Friday came and we met Robert and Evaleen whom we are still connected today. Then we met Richard, our neighbor whom we call Uncle, Hawaiian and a great chef from Lihue. He took good care of us. He brought us goodies almost every week. They each have their side of the story of how all this came to be. There were tears and we called ourselves: Mishpocah or Family in Hebrew. We talked and talked, we ate and we ate. This was the beginning of many things that had to pass. To mature in our Faith, to know what it is to be tested, to understand the Refiner’s Fire, to know how to Love our Father and how to love one another with Justice, Humility, and Righteous Judgment. To know what it is to forgive ourselves and others. Everything had a purpose! It was Boot Camp on Kauai for all of us. My goodness, we learned about the many steps to Jacob’s Ladder on the spiritual realm. Kauai was our “wilderness” in order for us to hone in to His Call, His Spirit, His Way and not doctrines/traditions of men. Many of us had to return home back to the mainland in the summer of 2019. For our brother Robert and sister Evaleen that are on Kauai are now holding down the fort per say. They are bringing in many believers into the fold. We are having another calling to meet with them and fellowship but we do need to take more people especially to the island of Ni’Hau. We are all shofar trumpet blowers to bring in Righteous Alignment from the Heavenlies on Abba Yahua’s Frequencies. We are connected to people who are silver trumpet blowers and travel the world. This is Abba’s plan, for His glory, we are only His vessels! We try our best to do what Messiah Y’shua says to do: Love our Father and Love our Neighbor. In order to understand what that means, we read from the very beginning of the Bible from Genesis to Revelations, all 66 books without adding nor taking away. We are the bridge between our Jewish brothers and sisters and our Christian brothers and sisters. We are the hand that is extending to both sides. You will know us by using the ancient Hebrew. They are on Kauai. I can connect you to them if you are getting that nudge.

We were already on Kauai when we experienced our very first Feast of Tabernacles of 2015. We built our first tabernacle with driftwood down Wailua behind the Hilton. Since we are still in “modern egypt” we had to work and could not take all 8 days from work only the 1st and 8th since they are considered to be High Holy Sabbaths/Convocations. I do not have pictures. These are some of the ones that were taken around the time of Sukkot 2015:

I also do not have pictures for Feast of Tabernacles 2016. It was in our home. I do remember brother Robert, Uncle Richard, and Robin and her husband Laryl attended.

The following pictures were of 2017 with my sister Madison who we met painting The Alef at her Paradise Pallette business; then our brothers Robert & Kevin, PJ, Uncle Richard attended:

This one is from Sukkot 2018 and we had Vera and Russ Josephson with us, they are from Judah, our Big Brother of Israel as well as our brother Kevin, and Uncle Richard. What an honor :

Now in 2019, we had already moved back to California and we celebrated in La Quinta. Our friend Kellie came to join us:

Every Feast of Tabernacles have been intimate and very special. Great fellowship happens. Sharing & learning on what He wants us to know, music, dancing, eating, and laughing happens. This is supposed to go on for 8 days. Imagine all the feasting? I wonder who will be coming to La Quinta this coming week because many are now wanting to HONOR our Father’s Holy Feasts. HalleluYAH for this. We also want to camp on the last 3 days. Mike is looking into this.

Every Sukkot is special and there is a story to be told with each individual that has crossed our path and the ones that will cross in the future. Amazing testimonies from every single person. “We talk story” as Hawaiians say***

Leviticus 23:33-44
The Feast of Tabernacles
33 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a sacred[a] assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
37 ‘These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— 38 besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord.
39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. 40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the [b]fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute FOREVER IN YOUR GENERATIONS. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in [c]booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.’ ”
44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.

The Feast of Sukkot/Tabernacles/Booth/Cabanas 2020

Our first guest was our friend who married one of our college friends. We haven’t seen her for 5 years and she happened to just call us out of the blue 3 days ago. She drove 2 hours to our home on Day 1, Shabbat. She knows the Word but not much about the Feasts of the Lord; she says she is going to listen after not listening to something we shared in 2002 with her. The information we presented then was hard for her to receive and she did not want to see us anymore but came looking for us in 2013. She said, “How did you know about what’s happening to our country? I thought you were crazy. How could you two be teachers? And crazy? But you two are not crazy!” We cried a lot that year. We fellowshipped for 2 years with her and her husband before we left for Kauai. I told her there’s more but she couldn’t understand how we CROSSED OVER to His Feasts. Five years later, yesterday, she came and asked us more questions and was ready to hear what we had to share about Sukkot and Shabbat. She was a devoted Catholic and now a Baptist and she sat underneath our Sukkah. She said that she was wrong about us in 2002 and wanted to just listen this time around while giving us the benefit of the doubt. When we humble ourselves, we learn. She knows the Word very well and asks the Holy Spirit to confirm every matter. She is a strong and vocal advocate for Truth and Righteousness. We were together 7 hours on Shabbat and the first day of The Feast of Sukkot. She also brought healing to me. Her words were very uplifting, encouraging, and loving. It’s always a reciprocal experience. She accepted the Mezzuzah we gifted her and loved the sound of the shofar. Abba is doing something this time around to all of us. HalleluYAH!

During the week we met new friends from The Coachella Valley. On Tuesday our friend Cecilia brought two people, now friends: Mary and Toni. After blowing the shofar and eating dolmades and delicious nuts and dates, Toni gave a teaching of the lulav and etrog. What an enjoyable night! After dinner, we ate delicious lemon cake made by Cecilia. Bright stars and the Sukkah was the icing on the cake.

On Thursday, our friends Angel and Altrena came and we did studies on The Feast. It was a very nice and breezy evening. We finished the night with some delicious raspberry cream and carrot cakes after dinner. Both dinners included meat, veggies, and white macaroni pasta/and or brown rice. My goodness, both evenings were so special and delightful. We also blessed the grape juice and bread.

On the weekend, we were supposed to go camping with other Mishpocha to finish The Feast of Sukkot, but it didn’t happen and this is why: We were meant to attend a Messianic Congregation on Friday where Toni invited us (This congregation are Jewish people who have accepted Y’shua). Toni is a dancer and now I have been invited to dance. Wowzers! Toni also invited Michael to hold the flag of Israel and to go up and blow the shofars on the altar. On this night, we learned about the number of Torah Scrolls in existence from a speaker named Rachel. We all felt the Ruach Ha Kodesh speaking through her. We were emotional when she showed us pictures of the Torah Scroll that had blood on it. It was from a Jewish man who protected it as he was killed by Nazis. Torah is the first 5 books of the Bible, the word means Instructions. It is now what we are learning, and Y’shua is The Torah in the flesh. In the Torah it describes how we are to Honor our Father’s Shabbat (Sabbath) and Holy Feasts. The churches did not teach us this. Do you understand why Jewish people do not accept the Christ that does not keep the Feasts? Do you know what the Jewish people have gone through in their history to maintain Torah? Did you know that Jesus was a Jew and a Hebrew from the tribe of Judah? Did you know that Jesus came for the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel (Matt 15:24)? Jesus, whom we call Y’shua gave His life for us and HE is the Torah in the flesh and prophecy.

The next day or the Last Great Day of the Feast of Sukkot fell on Shabbat 10/10/2020. It is called: Shemini Atzeret. It is the 8th day of the Feast and it is also New Beginnings. We got up early and headed to Whittier and Fullerton. We sat down with My Grandmother and My Great Aunt and did studies about this Feast. Tears and blessings happened that morning. My mom prepared us some delicious avocado toasts, and fruits with yogurt and pomegranate. So yummy! My grandma prepared us bean toast and her famous healthy shakes. What a blessing and a delight it was to spend Shabbat morning with them.

We then headed to my sister Lina’s and David’s home. David ordered tacos. In the meantime, I had a nice time jumping with my nephews on their trampoline, mostly with Evret. These moments of time with our family mean a lot to us and engraved in our memories. While Michael and Ryan read a book together, we went over the Feasts with The Colligans. We are all learning and sharing. We are transitioning into His Kingdom. We thank Abba for those seeking His Ways in these seconds. Btw, those tacos were delicious. We miss our tacos.

A JOY to share the beautiful Feasts of our Father with others. A time of celebrating, feasting, sharing, learning for 8 days……and it’s spreading all over!!!! HalleluYAH.Our Tabernacle included very personal items such as my Grandma’s cross stitch embroidery linen that Michael is now learning to do. There were also curtains from our first home in Fullerton that the previous owners had gifted us in 2000. I love seeing my grandma’s hand upon our Sukkah. Both my Mom and Grandma are giving me more of their linen, embroidered by their hands. Abba willing, our Feasts will get bigger because many WILL want to learn His Ways in the Era we are all moving into. Therefore, we will need more linen to cover more tables. More people equals more Joyful Noise, Music, Dance, Feasting!!!! HalleluYAH!!!

We also went to Living Waters to Mikve’h or Water Baptismal and refresh ourselves with Him. New Beginnings for us on His Calendar. We search for the living waters during His Feasts. We can sit down and do studies in regard to all of this.

Y’Shua Ha Maschiach. These are His Fall Feasts and comes in secret. Shhhh (John 7). This is the New Testament. Now what version do you have? We found out that there are certain versions that do not include the Feasts. How horrible to omit the word of Elohim!

John 7:1-37
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the [a]Jews sought to kill Him. 2 Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Then Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I am not [b]yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” 9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
The Heavenly Scholar
10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12 And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13 However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15 And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
16 [c]Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 The people answered and said, “You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Could This Be the Christ?
25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to kill? 26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is [d]truly the Christ? 27 However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29 [e]But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 And many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
Jesus and the Religious Leaders
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then Jesus said [f]to them, “I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me. 34 You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come.”
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
37 ON THE LAST DAY, that GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those [g]believing in Him would receive; for the [h]Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
