Well well well, isn’t this a work of art.

On Tuesday Caleb and Eva Joy left for America. God led them back (fear had no hand in the matter). Though I miss seeing and talking to them here, I am full of peace about God bringing them there and holding Aly and I here. I love them and my heart has been knit to theirs.

It feels good to pick up the work where they left off. Its nice to have a specific goal and to keep mostly busy working towards it.

You want to see a funny picture?... take a look at Aly and me as making up a team…ha…it just now made me laugh thinking about it. We are opposite in nearly every way. We speak different languages and are slowly getting faster and smoother with the translating. Our trains of thought rarely travel the same length of track (my train generally follows the path of the autumn leaf on a windy day). We see life’s adventures, vexations, and blessings from perpendicular vantage points. Having said this, I must add that I am superthankful for every odd time we spend trying to do stuff together. I value her friendship more than my left kidney. It seems that God is always teaching me a lesson through her. She is an example to me and I wouldn’t trade a single other person for her as a team mate for these months, no matter how much easier it would be (God knows it would be easier for her if I was a little less of her antithesis). One last thing that makes things cooler for us is that we were both very candid that neither of us is at all romantically interested in the other (which is sweet!).
