I'm Back!

I think its about time I started updating the ol' blog again. Hopefully there are some people out there who are still interested in hearing about what is going on in my life and in the DR!

2011 has been a whirlwind so far. I got back to the country Jan 4th, spent the 5th in Constanza to celebrate King's Day with the kids and then came back the 6th to host a soccer group from St. Mary's College in California. I was with them from Jan 6-Feb 4 and we had a blast. It was truly a blessing to get to know this group of 10 college students and Randy Farris (who made his 17th trip to the DR..) It was a busy month filled with LOTS of driving, but it was never lacking in excitement or adventures. We had the amazing opportunity to visit every Kids Alive ministry site and interact with just about every kid in Kids Alive. I just posted an album on facebook with pictures from my time with the St. Mary's team. After a few days at the beach, a few days in Jarabacoa and a few days back in Constanza...I am now back in Jarabacoa helping host a team from Michigan. I love being flexible/able to help Kids Alive where they need me, but I am looking forward to a month or 2 of being in Constanza!

A few updates

-WFMP (Wheaton Football Ministry Partnership) comes March 5-14 and I can't wait. My parents/Brother will also be coming along on the trip. We will be meeting up with Grant Roszkowiak and Coach Peltz's group from Haiti for a 2 day debrief in the capital which will be a great encouragement to see everyone.

-I'll be home April 3-14 to interview/visit a few potential schools for coaching next school year. It will be a blur of a trip, with visits set in North Carolina, Arizona and possibly California, but I am excited to start this next step.

-On a related note...looks like I'll be back in the states August 1st (ish..) in order to start up with coaching/possible resident life position for next school year. Crazy.

Please continue to pray for me! I feel like I have been MIA for the past month and a half and I would love to hear from everyone now that my life is getting somewhat back to normal. Skype/Email me!

Thank you everyone for your continued support and prayer!
