Summer is flying by for me (John), and it has a lot to do with the fact that we are in the middle of a 2 week blitz of Western Oregon and Eastern Washington. It has been a lot of fun sharing our dreams with dozens of friends and family, and exciting to see the wide variety of responses: bewilderment, understanding, and everything in between. We're glad to be able to share the needs of some of the most marginalized people of the world with some of the most privileged people of the world, thankful that we unworthily find ourselves among the latter.
We're all well, and glad to spend much of the past week with Erin's parents. Now it's time to head off for the second leg of the trip which will include breakfast in the town where I was born, lunch with one of Erin's college professors, and dinner with my aunt and uncle.
