Parents' visit in January

For two weeks in January we enjoyed a visit from my parents, which also meant setting aside the camera.  Dad took some great pictures during their stay and he has shared those in this album. We had the additional surprise of a few bonus days once their connecting flights were cancelled because of the U.S.'s east coast snow storms.  Thanks again for the visit, Mom/Grandma and Dad/Grandpa!

A highlight from our time with my parents was an escape to Matagalpa, where we visited with Ariane, who works with MCC and CIEETS there, and spent a day at Selva Negra where enjoyed their trails and their cool weather. It was great to get out in the woods and the mountains again.

Another thing that has been going on over the last few weeks has been the churches' annual assemblies.  One more in Costa Rica coming up in March.  It's been helpful to visit and get to know the churches in a different way through these events.
