Mijo is upstairs in our apartment giving a voice lesson to a fellow MK. Nick is skate boarding with another MK outside in the 99 degree heat. Scott is running yet another errand on my behalf, trying to make things run smoothly in this temporary household. We have just finished our orientation and waiting to begin our Security training. We are all a bit tired but today as we wrapped up our time together we were amazed at the community God put together here in Nampa in these short two weeks. We are from everywhere, US, Canada, Netherlands, Mexico and the Philippines. We are married with 4 children, 3 children, 2 children, no children. We are single and widowed. The youngest child is coming in September and Conner at 13 is the oldest. Some have been married 30 years, some just a 1.5 years. All of our stories though have an amazing common theme whether we are going to fly airplanes, teach, houseparent, maintenance, do IT or LT, be Mom's and Dad's, we all have come with one purpose, to do right by those we serve and make Jesus' name famous. Every story shared was weaved together with threads of grace. The sadness of some, the joy of others and the fears of all were woven with God's amazing Grace.

OOOOOOHHHHH, so exciting. I feel as though we are living vicariously through you 4!
It is okay about the working well vs having a relationship etc. George and I have been married 51 years, and we can't work on projects together at all! At least you and Scott are one step ahead and can actually work together!
