Generations of Teachers

Yesterday I had the privilege of connecting with another former fifth grader from Faith Christian School. Betsey, a girl from my first fifth grade class at Faith, is now a junior at Corban College. Corban College, formerly Western Baptist College, is the college I attended and graduated from many years ago. Betsey is taking a math class and her professor is one of my favorite professors from Western Baptist, Claudia.

So Betsey invited me to come have breakfast with her at the campus and then go to Claudia's class. Such a sweet reunion, both from college and from my years at Faith! We had a fun time in class and visiting afterward. At the end of the class I found out that there was another one of my students from Faith at Corban and got to go to chapel with both girls.

I have always been a little sad that I have moved so much and feel that I have lost contact with my former students because I don't stay in one place. Over these last couple months I have been blessed with running into many of my former students. How fun it is to see what God is doing in their lives as many of them are growing in Him.

The CO-MO Trip - Missouri

I guess I was getting a bit tired by this stage of the trip since I took only one picture. It is a good one, but still 5 days and only one picture? This is a picture of good friends that I have met in PNG over the years.

I spent my time in Missouri at the New Tribes Mission Training Center. It was good to be there, meet up with old friends, meet some new ones and visit the Missionary Kid Education Center. Missouri was not as hot and humid as it is known for, but it was a bit of a shock to leave Denver in snow and arrive 2 hours later in 70 degree weather. I enjoyed the sun and the people. However at the end of my two week adventure, I was happy to be heading back to the west coast.
