We have been on a whirlwind for a few weeks. So much so of a whirlwind that a lot of people don't know what we've been up to. We even haven't had much time to think about it!
We can give the long story individually because right now I'm trying to type and watch our toddler "hide" things in drawers at our current place of residing. I'm not calling it a residence because we're not really living here, we're just residing here for awhile.
We spent last week in Monument, CO at Greater Europe Mission's office learnin about GEM and thankfully being appointed to work at Black Forest Academy in Kandern, Germany this fall. Since that happened, now we're in little, tiny, middle of nowhere Houghton College in Houghton, NY learning about Third Culture Kids and how to work with them. We're going to spend this next school year at BFA being dorm parents. We're excited about the change of pace. We can really see now why life was like it was these past 6 months or so. I remember asking God many times WHY???? and now I see why.
We're looking forward to growing as a family in many different ways. Being away from extended family will be hard, but we think that it'll make our little family unit stronger and closer.
While at GEM training we met some amazing people that we hope to see again soon. Our orientation class is making it a goal to be the first group to all make it to international convention 2010. It's never happened before, but I have a good feeling about our class!
I don't have any pics from this week yet, but here are some from CO.
