After an entire year of anticipation and preparation, WE ARE HERE! Friends and rain greeted us at the airport. Everything went very smoothly getting here and we are so very thankful.
Our first day back consisted of Pollo Campero, running errands with Toni, saying hello to all of our friends, and setting up camp. Speaking of camp - OMG - we are so very excited about how it worked out for us! Let me just preface this by saying, this isn't normally how it goes, and that we would totally be okay if this wasn't the case...but there was space for us at the staff/missionary house. We have a little "apartment"!!! We are sharing a full size bed and a spacious room.
If there is any confirmation for being here, I would say it was the conversation we had with Toni. Toni is an amazing, hard-working woman. She is not only busting her tail here, but she's also raising a handsome, incredible 10 year old son. As soon as she saw us, she said, "MY CHEERLEADERS ARE HERE!" I kind think it was a big deal- and I'm thankful that God has given us the opportunity to be encouragers to friends here.
Anyway- we are here. Safe. Happy. Encouraged. Excited. Ready to work.
Ashley, I can't wait to meet you someday soon. Mimi, I get the weight of the sentence "My Cheerleaders are here!" WHAT a faithful God we serve! Praying for you both and excited to keep reading your story.
