Swinging Door

It's February. Where did January go?
Caty, (my sister) was home for three weeks and it was lovely! She and I had a bang up good time. There is nothing like a relationship with a sister.
Since I didn't update in January, let me try to fill you in.
I made a trip to Crown College and then the YWAM base in Rockford, MN. The YWAM base is huge! And beautiful! The best part was seeing my friends Tammy and Eddie from Mexico. It was weird seeing them here instead of in Ensenada. But it was great. We had a lot of fun and it was special for my sister to be able to see YWAM life and learn about that part of my life.
My friends Traci and Luke were married on January 2. It was a beautiful wedding and I'm so happy for them! They are now living in Florida so a trip there may be in the future.
I got to spend a measurable amount of time with my friend Leah. I hadn't seen her for a year and it was wonderful to spend time with her! She is full of spunk and zest and we had some fun times together!
My life has kind of become a swinging door of friends going in and out. That has been kind of hard but I'm glad that I've been able to have those times with the special people in my life.
In other news.... I withdrew my application for the Primary Health Care School. The money did not come in and now is not the right time for that. I'm hoping to be able to do that YWAM school at some point but we shall see.
I mentioned above that I had looked at Crown College. I have decided to finish college, or at least make the attempt. I've done online classes and a semester at Univ. of WI - River Falls and I'm ready to just have my college career finished. I have decided to major in Community Health Care with a minor possibly in Spanish or something else. Unfortunately Crown does not have any foreign languages and so I'm looking at Bethel University now.
March brings another change! I'm heading to Mexico once again to work with Mission Adventures in Ensenada! I'm SO excited! The theme this year for the program is Re-Act. Back in November or December I had written a devotional to go along with the theme and it has been printed in the devotional book that the English speaking students will read for both spring and summer. Talk about exciting. I screamed when I read the email telling me that I was published. For a long time it has been a goal to be published.
