Thanksgiving

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I got to spend the weekend with my parents at their home in Ohio.  It was nice to have time to relax with them.  I don't think we had ever had Thanksgiving dinner with three people before (always having had guests join us), but it was nice to do that this year.  It was a low key weekend with lots of game playing involved.

I have so many things to be thankful for including family and friends.  I am also very thankful for the work God has provided me with Interlink.  I have enjoyed being able to support the work taking place in Kazakhstan while still here in the States.  I am enjoying what I learn in my class as well.  I also find myself very thankful for the youth that I have the opportunity to work with here in Muncie.  They have such a heart to make a difference in their world.  Several of them will be going on a delegation to Kazakhstan next summer and are so excited.  It is fun to see them catch a vision for the world around them.

I will be updating you more on this in the near future, but I will have the opportunity to spend four months in Kazakhstan next year (April-July).  I will be helping the staff in Taraz facilitate delegations.  I am looking forward to being back in the country that I love and am waiting patiently for the day I get to return for good.  Until then, I am thoroughly enjoying where I am at this moment.
