Can't believe that it has been over a week since SPLICE training in Colorado finished! Had a great 3 weeks of training and met some awesome people. I Miss my SPLICE family already:(
For those that have been on a mission trip for a week, you know how close you got to everyone on that team in a week... add 2 extra weeks on to that and you will understand what I mean!! One of the guys that I got really close to, Stephen Hellwege, I was able to talk to last night for a while before he left for Malawi, Africa today. (thanks for putting up with your OLD brother, Stephen!)
I had a great time Friday night at the going away party that Uncle Barry & Aunt Joyce and Rod and Robyn put together... the reality of moving is starting to set in after that, my last Sunday at Harvest today and all of the boxes in the house from packing the last 2 days.
I am looking forward to heading out to CT this weekend to visit the team from Coventry that came down to Jamaica last July when I was there and then stay for a big Kloter reunion over the 4th!

As you can tell, I am new to this whole blogging thing, but my goal is to send out monthly emails like I have been and then post updates and pictures at least once a week on here.

One of our home work assignments for our cross cultural training was to visit a church service that would be different from what we are used to. I went to the U.S. Air Force Academy Chapel service and wanted to show some pictures of the chapel. Air Force Academy Chapel
