encouraging chats

Well today was another FULL conference day of learning valuable information, connecting and reconnecting with great people.  To put in very brief terms we attended a session about using story telling and two on how to care about your community.  It was such an enriching conference- I am surprised I have never heard of it before.  While it was so significant on our journey- we were glad to come "home" to a delicious dinner.

It was the first time since we got here that all 6 of us were able to sit down together for a meal.  Rebecca had made a delicious tortellini soup and apple crisp for dessert.  We all sat and chatted for the rest of the evening- enjoying the last night we all would have together.  We talked about our families, relationships, and ministry.  We all answered the question, "If I were to give you a plane ticket, where would you go".  My answer of course- Ireland.   At the end of the night Mike and Chris prayed for all of us in the room and what the next few weeks would bring.  A word to our parents- we are in GREAT hands!  These men and women have showed us such great love and are taking good care of us!

Josh and I are SO thankful for Chris, Rebecca, Mike and Kristi.  God truly blessed us with a great start to a crazy adventure by putting these people in our lives.

Tomorrow we will be attending Emerald City church- located near the area we hope to live!

Please continue to pray that we would find an affordable place to live and that God would continue to be preparing our hearts to view Seattle as home!

thanks for all those who are reading back in MN- we miss you and love you!
