In The US
Hello family and friends!
We made it home after a really long but really smooth two days of travel from Panama!
The kids were beyond excited as the day to leave approached. Even Ethan actually seemed to understand the concept that we had to get on a total of one boat, three planes and a few car rides before arriving at our final destination, our favorite airport in the world, PDX. 😉

- The beauty of the Northwest!

- Here is what was waiting for us on the other side of the security check point after getting off of the plane. I wish you could hear the cheer and hoots that accompanied this Welcome Home crowd! So special.

We have been so warmly welcomed back and we’re excited to see each “old” face again.
We will be sharing this Sunday, July 14th at Cherry Grove Friends Church in Battle Ground, for anyone who is close by and would like to hear a little more about our first year in Panama and what God has been teaching us. We are sooo excited to be home for this month long reprieve and are looking forward to catching up with as many people as possible while we are home. Come see us! 🙂 The service starts at 10:45 a.m. and is located right off of 219th street in Battle Ground. For more details on location, the website is: www.cherrygrovefriends.org
