Dear Reader, this is a long post!


On the way back from Big Bear

 To follow up were the last post left off...we got to spend a weekend with our friend Nick. He was so kind and hospitable...as usual! :) We attend Reality LA with him that Sunday. It was an amazing service and so refreshing! After church we were joined by Sarah-Beth who drove to Hollywood to come pick us up. Before leaving though we got a Pink Berry frozen yogurt with Nick and some old friends from Bible College who are getting married this month! Congrats Tuuka and Wesley!

We spent the next few days hanging out in San Diego, went to Impact with Sarah-Beth two days in a row. It was awesome and super encouraging! We had lunch with her sweet friends the Valdivias! We also got to meet up with one of our groomsmen Bryan and had dinner with the Russian family he is living with. I had an opportunity to meet up with my old teammate from Morocco, Lizzy, and it was super fun to catch up with her! Later on that night we had dessert with some of our friends from Israel/SEND, Ashley, Beto, Alaina and Erik. We felt so blessed to be able to catch up with so many of the people that are so dear to us in California!

Before we left Cali, Paul and I were able to steal away a few precious hours to be together and pray, talk and not to mention take a nap in the beautiful sunshine on the cliffs of La Jolla. It was really refreshing!



We flew home to the great state of Virginia on the 26th. Meet up last week with our dear friends the Cassady's and the Webber's. We also had Miss Jackie Bell and Greg over for dinner, and it was awesome! Later on in the week we somehow were able to set up a Risk game for the usual players! It was a great time of fellowship/fighting over world domination! :) Love you guys!










We have to give a shout out to the Zupan family! Sorry guys that we weren't able to go snowboarding with you all. But thanks for all the love and art! We love and miss you all tons...hope you all are feeling better! 


We did a drive-by meeting with the Zupan's since they were all sick! :( But the kids made us this awesome sign and Gabby made us a beautiful picture!


Right before we left we got to visit with our cousins Tina, Luke and Levi. And we exchanged late Christmas presents! Thanks you guys, love you very much!

Super cool shrinkydink the boys made!!!














We like to thank all our friends who housed and fed us while we traveled! You all are the best and are deserving of your hospitality patch! :) We would also like to thank everyone for all your love and support...we miss all already! We had an amazing trip reconnecting and fellowshipping with friends and family...just wish we could have seen everyone! We are now back in Münster... and are happy to be with our very own Waldrop family! And are excited to see all our "Germany" friends again! :)

Shalom
