This and That

An overview of the last few weeks:
- 7 short term workers joined us & kept a very busy schedule of teaching both
children & adult classes, morning and evening
- occupation of the new LIFE center
- renovation of this center, with the help of 3 men from Salem, OR
- vacated our old, rented facility
- left for Jordan and our annual field retreat - great refreshment & relaxation
after a grueling summer
- visited our old stomping ground in Aqaba; good to see old friends
- a few days in Amman & then back home!
- this year we'll have 4 young people living with us and helping with teaching &
other aspects of ministry; 2 guys & 2 girls.
*I hope to post pictures soon of our new center all set up and ready to go

Hey friend,
good to see your alive and kickin'. :) saw some random facebook pics that someone from your field retreat posted . . . was fun to see the ones that I know after sooooo many years! :) Glad that you had a good time. You think you and D will ever "swing" by Spain? Barcelona has a major airport in contrast to where we were before! :) Maybe you should reunite with your kids here at our place. . . you know, meet in the middle? :)
Oh, and by the way, you never know what might come from hosting your 4 interns. Good things happen when someone lives with the Phenicies! :) Thanks for modeling an open home to us! With love for you, jou jou.
