The trip continues..

Hi all, 

Just wanted to give you a little update...
We are doing well and in good health.
The girls did well on the trip over and the first 16.5 hours flight wasn't as bad as we thought.

We had a great time with Chrissy's sister Cat and John in West Los Angeles. It was the first time we all got to spend time together. Keira had a blast.Thanks for hosting us guys.


We had some good meetings talking about community organizing and small business development with some SP consultants and spent some time with our new team mate Jen Chi Lee who is coming to SA in January.


We then went up to Big Bear in CA with the Servant Partners Team Leaders for a weeks conference. It was a great time of connection, healing and focus on leadership development. It was great to take some time to think about the work we are doing and the people involved and ask God for clarity and direction on how to best invest our time and energy.
It was also good to talk and relate with peers who get what we are doing and can give good council and prayer. We are thankful for the space and beauty of this time. Keira & Jordan had a good time. Jordan got past around and is not crawling and getting into things. We didn't see Keira the whole week except for bed time, which she wasn't very excited about. She was off with anyone but us, having a great time with new friends.


We are currently with Chrissy's parents in Seattle area. It has been good so far connecting and going on outings together. Chrissy & I are both tired and it has been good to get a little rest in. We are grateful for grandparents. Keira when out with them today and it was great to have the space to read and reflect.


NEXT:
Please pray for us this weekend as prepare for time with a spiritual director that is leading us through a reflection process on our work so far and person retreat. Pray that this would be restful and restoring and that the kids will do good with the Grandma & Granddad.


Thanks for your prayers and support.
