We have made it through month number two! It’s hard for me to express how quickly that time has gone and how exciting it has been for me and my family to be here! In these last two months, I have gotten to know many of you and your stories. There have been plenty of meetings, lunches, home and hospital visits, and even a couple of funerals. But... the moments that stick out in my mind right now are the ones where we got to worship and have fellowship with our ministry partners at Petra, La Iglesia, and Trinidad.

When I was growing up, my family would often take long road trips for our vacations. On several occasions, we drove from Indiana down to Florida to visit family. On one particularly long trip, we headed out west, driving through the Badlands of North Dakota and the Rocky Mountains before finally stopping in Washington State.
