This week was so great and also so emotional. Ruco and I were able to see even more people whom we LOVE, and I had the opportunity to attend my best friend Jill's baby shower yesterday. I felt so blessed to be home for the last few weeks because we didn't anticipate being able to see everyone for over 2 years!! God is so awesome, and His plans are so much better than our plans!!I am typing now as we sit in our hotel room in Boone, NC. It is beautiful here in the Blue Ridge mountains. It is also nice and cool..something I no longer take for granted!
I am nervous and also excited about Uganda and working for Samaritan's Purse. I am nervous just because it is like starting a new job which is always scary. We really start tomorrow because it is our first day of orientation. However, I am also excited to see God's plans for us unfolding. Yesterday I was eavesdropping on a conversation Justin (Jill's husband) was having with Ruco. H
e was just talking about how we are not promised tomorrow and that we should live our life with a sense of passion and purpose. The Manny's are pretty cool I must say- but what he said really struck me. Ruco and I get so caught up in plans and WHERE we will be and for how long we will be there. Really, we arent promised tomorrow, and Ruco and I shouldnt worry so much or get so caught up in planning. As we realized with the Samaritan's Purse opportunity, He always has His perfect plan in action-and its so much cooler than ours anyway!!!!

You could not have summed it up any better... this weekend was so great and SO emotional! haha I love you so much, and I just still can't believe I got to spend time with you after I told myself I wouldn't see you for TWO YEARS! I am so thankful that that wasn't the case. I can't wait to see you in December! I love you with all my heart, Tor, and that will never change. Thank you for being such a true friend and for understanding me! I miss you so much already, you don't even know! But I am excited about the opportunity for you to expand your photo journalism skills to Uganda! haha I love you!
Oh Kristi, God knew that none of us would make it without seeing you for 2 years!! You are definitely making the right move! I know you have a peace about this move. AND it's only for 5 months which definitely makes me the happiest girl!! There is sooooo much to look forward to this Christmas!!!!!!!!! I love you!
