We're back in TN now-- and so glad to be here. Being back in our church family Sunday morning, spending time with friends Saturday and Sunday evenings, being back at work, visiting the baby doctor later today... All wonderful returns to routine. Well, there is also the laundry and cleaning that needs to be done, but I'm so glad for the super-enjoyable things that the housework isn't getting me down too much!
We have good pics to share and some stories to tell. All in all, our adventures abroad were rewarding and full of learning for us both. It was great to get to know some of the Bryan students so well, and to see first-hand the ups and downs of their time in their internships. It was also valuable, for that matter, to see the ups and downs that the ministry hosts experience, as well!
Our last week in Slovakia was spent in "debriefing" the students' experiences. The students flew in from all over the world to spend the time together at a "Penzion" (guesthouse) in central Slovakia. The scenery was beautiful and the culture rich: even a horse-drawn cart and a farmer harvesting with a sickle were seen from time to time! The students worked through some readings and reflections in small groups, and shared from their summer experiences with all 20 of us. Hearing about their personal and spiritual growth over this summer made all the ups and downs worth it. Amazing!

We are so thankful for God's faithfulness in protecting you and for providing you with a glimpse of life in a faraway place.
We are so looking forward to the next 4 weeks when, at the conclusion, we get to meet Freckle.
So much love and so much more,
