There is probably so much more but I can’t think of any else!

I am just so thankful for this month. 

It was a hard transition but I’m looking back and boy am I overwhelmed by the Lords goodness. He literally blows me away. He orchestrated all that to happen and I couldn’t have imagined a better month. 

Now go back through that list but instead of saying “I had the opportunity to…” say “I’m thankful for the opportunity to…” this month has been a perspective shift of that. I have learned to be thankful for every occasion and I am learning that the Lord doesn’t just put things in our path for no reason. He has a reason for everything. 

I am going to miss this place and these people so much and I am sad to go but I look forward to the day I come back! Pray for the team as we travel today we have a couple days of debrief and then it’s off to Panama! 

Pura Vida friends!
