California

This past month has been full of travel and visiting churches. Sometimes it feels like we're in constant motion. Traveling with two kids is definitely more challenging than traveling with one! Still the boys do remarkably well and go along with the flow. Just recently we were in California as I was doing some teaching for work, and Julio connected with supporters and potential supporters. We were in Long Beach, San Diego, L.A., and Simi Valley, all in 4 days!! We had a great time visiting friends and making new ones at a retirement community, where we were invited to share about our upcoming ministry in Colombia. We spoke at 2 Hispanic churches about Colombia, and I taught a workshop on children's ministry to over 50 people, and another workshop on how to use a new material for membership classes for a group of about 20 people (both in Spanish). It was an awesome week and we loved meeting new people and getting to interact with the Hispanic community.

Here are some highlights:
