So, it's been a while since we've posted to this blog so we thought a quick update would be in order.
Last two years in a nutshell:
We've been back to Santiago only once, in December of 2008, to visit friends and our spiritual family and see how the the new church facility was progressing. We planned a trip in December of 2009, but due to some emergency surgeries that had to take place, the trip was postponed to this coming Friday, July 23.
Meanwhile, Katie has been working as a Spanish teacher at Upland Christian Academy, in Rancho Cucamonga, and Chris has been doing irrigation work for Central School District. Jointly through Katie's school and APU, we, along with 12 high-school students, began to cultivate a relationship with the church community of Siete Olivos in Mexicali, Mexico, in April of 2010 where we shared the experience of a 7.2 earthquake! The two of us went back for a visit in May and are planning to reconnect with the Mexicali community in August with some of the youth that we originally embarked with.
We are excited to reconnect with our spiritual family in the Dominican Republic this week, and to get some Mile Deep International work done as well. We'll do our best to update this during or shortly after our 9 day whirlwind trip.
For those of you who don't know, Mile Deep International now has an official website where you can find out more about what MDI has planned.
