Post-Thanksgiving Activities

It's been a whirl-wind last couple of weeks.  We were able to spend about 10 days with some of Mike's immediate family in northern Minnesota (Fargo/Moorhead) over Thanksgiving.  The temperatures were low for what I'm used to, but pretty warm for them!

Pastor Jim Ray from Vally Christian Church was gracious to give us time to show a promotional video for Samuel's House and share a few minutes with his congregation about our heart for missions.  We were so blessed by the warm reception and an inspiring message about Giving.

Then it was back to Colorado for the final pack up and another speaking engagement.  This time, we were at New Hope Community Church in Golden thanks to an invite from Pastor Justin Atchley.  I don't know why, but I'm always amazed at how real and authentic relationships are changing communities around the world.  We are grateful Pastor Justin turned over the entire sunday school and service times to us--allowing the church to get to know us a little more and hear our hearts for this ministry.

It has been an absolutely incredible journey these last few months!  I would not choose any another way to live than completely surrendered to God.  I will share more specifics later... suffice it to say living smack in the middle of God's perfect will is AMAZING!

Be Blessed.

I felt language school would be somewhat of a comfort.  A good place to get my missionary role on.  It was an academic environment and I have always thrived in academic environments (with the exception of one Vectors Calculus class that is).  But, when I got to Costa Rica, I quickly discovered it was nothing like I expected.  For me, I found it to be more of a spiritual boot-camp.  And I felt I was failing miserably.  So I did what I always do when I feel I'm failing--...
