News

Sometimes I forget to talk about things that are actually going on in my life, and not just the lessons I learn from them.  So here are a few news headlines from my life at the moment.

1.  My brother, sister-in-law, and parents surprised me with a set of new (used) snow-skis and boots!  I came into the room with everyone singing "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" (my parents singing through Skype), and a tall box in the middle of the room.  Rachel said it was a boyfriend, but I thought it was too skinny for that.  I was delighted to find some 160 Rosignal skis and Solomon boots.  I already have a couple free passes from skiing with the Wawona kids school program.  All I need now is some fresh snow.  My family is the best.

2.  I am going back to Yap.  After praying for several months about it, the doors unbelievably opened, and I'll be leaving in July for at least a two-year commitment.  I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous, but I would be nervous about committing to anything long-term.  I can't think of anything else I'd rather commit two years to right now though.  I'm really thankful that God has been helping me through this whole process of readjustment and that I even get the bonus of going back. (Oh yeah, and I need to raise some money for a plane ticket...so let me know if you're interested...)
