Road Trip Report

Kristy and I are having a good trip. Last Tuesday, we spent time with my old friend and mentor, Jim Adkins, and his family in California. They live about an hour north of my little brother and his family.


On Wednesday, we finally got to meet my new niece, Pria. We had a great time just hanging out with my little brother and sister-in-law, not to mention Justus, their 2 yr. old.


It was also a blessing to see the impact that my brother is having on the lives of so many young people in the community. There is an alarming number of parents of teenagers strung out on drugs and alcohol in the area, just letting their kids figure life out for themselves - minus the significant relationship with their parents that they desperately long for. Tyson and his family (church and immediate) are living demonstrations of hope and life in that community.



Yesterday, Kristy and I spent time up in Seattle and dropped by the Space Needle. Today we met with some missionary friends and some financial partners in Vancouver. We also went up to Crown Point, where I asked Kristy to marry me. (The weather was much more cooperative this time!) Pics to come!
