Places to go and people to see

The title is an apt description of our time in Lee's Summit. Everyday brings a new opportunity to reconnect with friends. There's so much to talk about because, after all, we've been gone for 6 months (with the exception of a very short visit in August.) There are always questions about what its like to live in El Salvador--guess some of our friends aren't spending a lot of time on our blog--so we do our best to describe our home, crazy traffic and other things like paying our bills at the bank. We also tell them about our sweet kids at New Life Christian School, the awesome youth at Vida Nueva Baptist Church who serve as our translators on mission trips and our new church family. We tell them how we feel loved by our Salvadoran friends and how it is possible to miss both of our "homes." We usually converse over breakfast, lunch, coffee or dinner--sometimes eating out, other times enjoying fellowship in homes.

We leave a week from today--it hardly seems possible that we've been in the states for 20 days. The cold weather hasn't been terrible and Stephen even thinks he and his brother can get in a game of golf one day before we leave.
