A + B + C

A::: THE PRESENT::: Wow, I can't believe it's already the weekend again! Time has been flying by so fast and I don't like it like that. I like to take things slow. I love my job and my boss and the kids and families I work with. I love my House Church and my community of friends. I love living on Washington St. I love hanging out with my husband aka, best friend in our "yellow room" and I love working in our garden with friends. In lots of ways I want to FREEZE time, I don't want things to change. I'm so full to overflowing right now! but alas


B::: The COLORADO TRAIL::: Matt is leaving to hike the Colorado Trail on Sunday, August 16th. It is a 500 mile hike from Durango, Colorado to Denver over many mountain passes and Wildernesses and glorious landscapes. I am very EXCITED for him. He has wanted to do this for a long time and the timing is perfect right now. It should take him about 7 weeks, which is faster than most people do it - but he is MATT ORR, the fastest hiker I know for sure.


C::: The SAN LUCAS MISSION, GUATEMALA::: Many of those who know us have known that my contract with Open Door Ministries expires at the end of September. And we have known for a while that when it ends we want to go ___________. (somewhere foreign, amongst the poor, mission minded, preferably Spanish-speaking.) We finally feel peace and clarity about our decision. It has certainly been a long journey of figuring out where we should go! ((So, thank you to those of you who listened to me externally verbalize the plethora of possibilities these past 6 months!)) We are planning on being "Long Term Volunteers" at SAN LUCAS MISSION, on Lake Aititlan in Guatemala for about 6 months.
