Hello from America!
We are enjoying our time in America so far. It has been very
busy but also very enjoyable. During the
first week, I was in one of my high school friend’s weddings. I got to spend
some great time with friends and help finish up wedding details the week before
the wedding. I only had one night where
I had trouble sleeping for about 2 hours, and that was it for jet lag, which is
awesome!!! Cody went to visit his family and then met back up with me for the
wedding in Virginia.
Then we
spent a few weeks back in Thomasville, during which we attended the Global
Leadership Summit, met with supporters, went to our home church E3, saw friends
and family, celebrated family birthdays, and substitute taught at
Brookwood.
Next, we
went to California where we met up with a lot of supporters, made new
relationships, and caught up with family and friends! It sounds strange, but
after Georgia and Florida, that is where a lot of our supporters are, so we
went to visit them. This was our first
trip to California. We enjoyed GREAT
food thanks to some awesome people!!! In our week there we were able to see and
experience Malibu Beach, Sonoma Valley, Lake Tahoe, Hollywood and Los
Angeles.
Afterwards
we traveled to Savannah to see my brother and his wife where we ate well (seeing
a trend yet) saw his cool Lego robotics classroom, had game night, and went to
church in a theater. Then we went to
Athens to see family and meet up with some other people there. We spent a week in Atlanta catching up with
friends, thanking supporters, and making new relationships. Next we went to Dahlonega to see camp friends
and supporters, and then we got to spend a week in Cody’s home town of Rome,
GA. We were able to meet up with people from his home church, see his whole
family, and visit our favorite spots there. It was especially wonderful to have
the triplets reunited after at least two years!!!
While we
are here to connect with friends, family, and supporters, we are also here to
share our story about what God is doing at GSF, and to raise funds to support
the ministry at GSF. At this time, we
are focusing on additional monthly funds due to adding a physical therapist and
special needs teacher’s salaries to our budget.
We are also raising the funds to build a small house at GSF beginning in
the next few months. We are still following the schedule that is at the bottom
of the last post. We hope to see you while we are here!!!
Friends!!!
