There's No Place Like Home!

We spent this weekend in the mountains at Lake Arrowhead, CA where we both spent our Jr High and High School years and the first few years of our marriage. As we drove the oh so familiar roads and smelled the fresh pine-scented air, we were flooded with memories from all our years here and were reminded that no matter where you go...there's no place like home!


We spent Saturday with our good friends, Blaine and Elisa Vanderschuit and their two boys whom our two kids adore! Friends like this don't come along often, especially ones that last long distance. We always seem to pick up where we left off and we know that their friendship will be invaluable to our well being as we face what this adventure has to hold.
We love you guys!



On Sunday we had the honor of sharing about our ministry at Church of the Woods where there are so many familiar faces, some that go waaaay back! Pastor Rod was so uplifting as he prayed for us and once again we felt so much love and support that it was overwhelming. It's hard to be worried or scared about what lies ahead when you feel such a strong backing from so many people!



We also had the opportunity to share with the Sunday school kids about what Costa Rica is like and what it means to be a missionary! One definition was,"Somebody who tells everyone they see about Jesus!"

Thank you to all of you who blessed us with your encouragement, generosity, and fellowship! We'll miss you!
