often times the seemingly mundane can provide a great deal of insight

The Oasis State...

Dear Loved Ones,

I arrived safely in Minnesota last week. All travel went wonderfully and I am currently trying to get settled in to my new mission ground. It is interesting, because although I am actually from Minnesota, I do not really feel as though I am "returning". Rather, there is more of an awareness that this is the next mission location. Something new. Along that same wave, I was actually sent out from Costa Rica to be a missionary to the Twin Cities, funny how that works. Although I have only been back a few days, I am looking forward to seeing how things come together and stepping forward in faith and obedience in what I have been called to. Faith doesn't only exist overseas, and although the needs are different in The U.S., there is much work to be done. I am planning to meet with the director of YWAM, MN and talk with him more in depth on what the inner-city ministry is going to look like. There are many people I would love to catch up with, and it has been wonderful seeing friends and family after such a long amount of time away. I am expecting to be somewhat busy and hoping to meet up with many people I still have yet to see. Also, please feel free to be proactive in contacting me if you would like to get together. Also.. nto to be missed... if you have not looked at the sidebar to the right with the different links, I encourage you to check those out. They will be updated with prayer requests, photos, and financial needs. Worth checking out. Thank you again for all of your prayers and support, because they matter more than I think we understand. peace.
