Well hello there! Long time, no blog! In case you were wondering why we haven't updated our blog recently, it is because we have been on a short vacation, or as the Jamaicans say, "holiday." And let me tell you, we were very ready for a break! The first 4 weeks of the summer were so awesome but we were all beginning to experience the mid-summer fatigue and frustration that comes with spending 24/7 of your summer living in community in a foreign country. So, needless to say, we were all so very thankful that Josh and Loyd had arranged for a week of retreat in a nice little hotel on the beach. We spent 3 days in Negril getting rest physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I had the chance to catch up on some lost sleep as well as meet with our spiritual director, Jim Newberry, who really helped me think about what God is showing me this summer. I loved being able to really just have 20 minutes completely to myself where I could talk to God or just simply think about the last 5 weeks. Although I was somewhat sad to leave our beach front hotel, I was so pleasantly surprised at the feeling of contentment as we finally crested the hill back into Harmons valley...Home sweet home :)
