I am soo sorry that it has been a few days since we've connected here. We have been unbelievably busy and any free brain space that I have had has been soaked up. Yes, I am becoming a missionary sponge which is the objective yet exhausting. Anyway, to catch you up to speed ... We arrived in Colorado on Thursday of last week. We were staying at the YWAM base meeting with Food for the Hungry going over policies and development issues and how to approach development with God in the absolute center of ALL that we do and being a cross cultural Christ follower. We also celebrated Easter here last Sunday. VERY DIFFERENT for us. First, none of us matched for the first time in 16 years ! Don't laugh... I don't know if this is a Southern thing or just an underwritten Easter thing but we've always done it. We even wore jeans to church ! When we had woken up, the ground was COVERED in snow..no sunshine to be seen but very beautiful. However, I just couldn't bring myself to wearing tennis shoes to church so I walked in wearing SANDALS (in the snow ) . Leaving the church, the parking lot was full of DEER . Very random. The church was in the downtown area of Colorado Springs and so where did the deer come from ? CLUELESS !
Cooper and Jacob have been hiking and bike riding all around. It is quite amazing to have Cooper driving and being able to get around and be hiking without us with them.
So...I've caught you all up. The only other change is that now we're at a new place continuing our training. The training that we are receiving here is deep and wide and to much to "catch you up " on in this post so ....more to come + photos. *p.s. PLEASE post a comment if you want (or even if you don't -smile ) We are missing HOME and would LOVE to hear from you- even if we don't know you ...all bloggers are family aren't we?
All for now,
Me
