im here!!!!

Hola! Quick report just to say we have arrived and are settling into our new home here in Ensenada! Our travels went super smooth and our night in Cali was fun and great transition moment. Steph and Patrick , my travelling amigos/2 youth from my church, and myself have had several moments where we've turned to each other and squeeled "where goin' to Mexico!!"

and now we are here.

we have been warmly greeted and taken care off. im definitly not 'roughin' it' in my sweet digs in the staff house... and i don't need to point out that im already on the internet. from my laptop. in my room. so yeah. God is good.

feels great to be back. an element of comfort and home...
but also lots of changes and new faces...
so we are looking forward to a weekend of chill to settle in, but also getting a week of routine under our belts. right now we are still a bit in the 'awkard' phase.

people seem excited to have us. i feel a bit overwhelmed/nervous that starting Sunday i have to run all these things and I don't really know anything... but I know i'll be fine. and have the spiritual gift of 'winging it'.

please pray for transition, meeting people, and settling into my role as a newbie, but a newbie whose a senior staff/leader...

and fyi. it's way hotter in ontario than it is here. for all you folks who said the heat would be unbearable. it's just perfect. suckas.

You do have the spiritual gift of 'winging it' ... but have you shared with them your other significant spritual gift of cheese-grating? It could change the community ...
