We are so grateful for so many amazing people God has placed in our lives. So many of our friends and family showed up for our open house/going away party on Saturday. We were blessed, honored, humbled, thrilled, excited…etc for the outpouring of love that was shown to our family that day. I think we ended up with enough encouraging notes to open one every day for the first year we are there. Wow! We truly appreciate each and every one of you. There were some tears, a lot of laughs and great conversation. It is a great way to leave the country…with great memories of great people. We were also commissioned at Faith E Free church in Fort Collins yesterday. It was good to connect with old friends after both services. Then Alex had a going away party with some of his close friends. He has some amazing, supportive friends that we will all miss. Abby had a neat time with her friends in her 7th grade small group as well. She felt very loved and honored by their words of encouragement. In all, it would have been hard to script a better weekend for connecting with so many valuable people in our lives and saying so many important good-byes. Thanks to each and every one of you!
Hey guys! Just want to let you know that we have been thinking about you this past week, knowing a bit about what you are going through. So glad that you had such a sweet time to say good goodbyes. We will continue to pray for those last few days at "home", and for smooth transitioning onto the next phase of this amazing journey!
