WHY WOULD I SIT DOWN?
Why stand still when I can be constantly moving, every second, never staying in one place for longer than a week? This is how I’ve felt for the past 2 months and honestly… I LOVE IT. The summer started with returning from Norway (it was really hard to leave) but I was soon joined by two of my very good friends from good old Scandinavia. Since it was there first trip to the states it was only right to set off on an epic all-American road trip. So we set off on a monster of a drive. We were blessed with no real road-blocks (metaphorically speaking not literally because there was a lot of road work). We made it to Colorado for 4th of July weekend where we saw and awesome outdoor concert, rode up the sides of mountains and hung out with my amazing cousin Jim and his dog. Then we crammed back into the civic and headed to Fort Worth Texas where met up with some of the most amazing people. An old friend from my DTS, family and new friends that feel like family. One of the best road trips I’ve had in a very long time.
So just a week after getting back to Fayetteville, The Nord friends were heading back home and me and the family were off to Mexico. Coming to Mexico always feels like going to my second home. I know every twist and turn of the drive down to Ensenada and they feel great. We were joined by great friends and a church team from LA who pitched in to help us build a wonderful grey and green house for an amazing family. I’ve built a lot of houses and you rarely see a family that is so involved in the construction of the house as this one was. The mom, the dad, the kids, and family friends came over to help up paint and nail. It was amazing to watch how much this family appreciated what we were doing. Now building a house is always a humbling thing and lots of hard work as well. We build these houses to help but we also build them in remembrance of Olivia. Its never easy. But we all love doing it, and its wonderful to see the results when its done.
So Mom, Naomi and Hannah have left Mexico leaving just Dad and me. This week has been intense, having a huge team from England here for Mission Adventures. I’m hoping to make to some of contacts for the Project I have going for the 2012 Olympics and hopefully l will have some bites and they will want to know more. Please pray for boldness and soft hearts. It’s going to be good.
Hope
