In CO


GOOD MORNING!

Lindsay and I just awoke to our first morning at Mission Training International (MTI). We are so excited to be here!
Shortly after arriving in Palmer Lake, Colorado (just north of Colorado Springs) yesterday afternoon, we had orientation and met our classmates and trainers. Our class is 38 strong, representing 21 sending organizations and preparing to go to 29 different nations to make disciples. Perhaps most exciting, there's a family here preparing to serve with us in the DR! They will be working in Jarabacoa, about an hour and a half from Santo Domingo. Amazingly, after leaving MTI they will be in Antigua, Gautemala for 4 months studying spanish at CSA, the same school we're going to!
This connection is a HUGE answer to our prayers. Please pray that God will build a strong bond between us. They have three boys, ages 8, 7 and 4, and I can't wait to go sledding and build snow forts with them!

Peace to you. We'll right more soon. Off to class...
