Wow…

Today we leave Bangladesh. We are on our way to Vietnam where friends of Brooke are teaching English. We will spend 2 weeks there. Amazing that we are already on our way to Vietnam. It seemed so far away. While there we will pass our 2-months-left mark. It is hard to explain how odd that seems. Even more difficult is fighting off the excitement to be at home with family and friends again. This trip has been amazing so far and I’m sure there is more “Amazing” to come but the fact is our hearts are made for “home” and we are ready to be there. But the Father is good and we know he will help us to be focused on the places and things He still has for us. Speaking of home, we are just starting to question what He might have for us to do and be a part of when we get home and we would appreciate your petitions and thoughts along those lines. We are committed as much as ever to not dwell on the future too much as we want to be fully engaged with where we are for the present, but we recognize that we will not be traveling forever and want to start the process of seeking the Father’s will for this next phase of our life…

Brittany said that she wants us to move in with you guys in Big Bear. She's kinda fed up with the traffic, smog, prices and work. We don't know where we're gonna be either. Some friends we have in common mentioned New Zealand. Maybe the six of us should all move out there? Whattya say?

We like it.

Gotta say, though, that the traffic and smog we remember in good ol' So. Cal. is a heck of a lot better than a lot of what we've seen. It's been humbling.
