Whew!

We had a great first taste of roadtripping this past couple of weeks, and we are excited for the adventure that this coming year will bring. We arrived last night to Texas for a week; we'll celebrate Lawrence's 31st birthday, work on wedding invitations, and line up speaking engagements for this fall in the northeastern part of the United States.

We are SO lucky to be working together with the amazing people of Grassroots. We're thankful for Simba's new outfit from our friend Lisa - new tires and a new battery that will keep us safe on the road for many more miles. Dinners with pastors, reunions with past volunteer teams, and good conversation about the vision and direction of the mission were a great start to the future of this project. We sincerely thank Donn and Linda Hellinger for all they have done and continue to do for the kiddos and the missionaries of Grassroots...we and they are blessed to have you.
