We’re having coffee with our good friend Marty from Sons of Ralph. We’re so excited that he will be joining us this year in Tacachia with a volunteer group from Asheville. It’s great to be home and have the opportunity to fellowship with friends and family. Our family continues to grow in Tacachia as we have received two new children in our absence and have others on the way. Can’t wait to send you all pictures of them upon our return.
We’re staying busy while we’re home visiting churches across North Carolina.
- We’ll be at Sedge Garden UMC this weekend and are so excited to reconnect with old friends.
- The following weekend we’ll be at Matthews UMC and then at FUMC Waynesville on Wednesday, February 3rd.
- We’ll be a part of a round table discussion at a local TV station (URTV) on Thursday February, 4th. (Details about the broadcast times will be coming soon!)
- And we have tentatively planned a Bon Voyage Party at Central UMC in Asheville on Feb 18. This party will have multiple purposes: it give us a chance to say goodbye to our friends and family before we return to Bolivia on Feb 25, meet volunteers of the March 2010 mission trip, donate items and make financial contributions for the home, all while enjoying light refreshments and music from Sons of Ralph!
- The Bon Voyage Party has been canceled due to logistical problems. However we’ll update if there is to be any other events or happenings before Carrie and Gavin return to Bolivia (– admin).
We’ll continue to update you all on our travels. Hope to see you all while we’re home!
