So, I made it to the US and had two weeks of running with Juliane as we visited Northern CA. It was a fun time of adventure as we visited Eureka, Sacramento and San Francisco. There were great friends who opened their homes to us- Thanks Dan and Jill Driesenga, Victor and Barb Arnett, and Wendy and Tom Ciaramitaro. We were thankful for the warm, sunny weather though that did mean the snow in the mountains melted before we could make it up there.

Now I am in the week of getting things together for visiting churches. It seems like there are a hundred little details to take care of, but each day I just ask God to direct me to get done what He wants for that day. It has been special to have these days with my family in Eureka, CA. March 3rd I'll be on the road and begin seeing all of you! See you soon!

Seeing freinds (Hi, Emma!);
