So, how have you been world
traveler?
Do you speak Chinese?
These are the most common questions I’ve heard during the
past week. I am currently at about the half-way point in my fifteen day journey
around the states catching up with friends and family who I haven’t seen in
years. The trip has been wonderful thus far. It is amazing how encouraging it
can be to visit with old friends. The trip is divided into four legs. We are just starting the third leg of the journey.
Leg #1: Topeka to
Indianapolis
Enjoyed catching up with my cousin Jacquie. Had an amazing
lunch at an authentic Brazilian
steakhouse, Fogo de Chão® (fo-go dèe shoun). Delicious! We had a blast
trying on hats in all the little shops in Nashville, IN a cute little town.

Leg #2: Indianapolis
to Washington D.C.
It was such a blessing to spend several days with this year’s
Fellows and Cornerstoners. You all are an incredible group! I am still
pondering the thoughts and discussions we had about selflessness and what does
it mean to be a wife who is honoring and respectful to her husband.
A new song I was introduced to: Chris Tomlin's "Your Heart"
Leg #3: Washington
D.C. to Camp AJ (Kentucky)
I had my own seat for almost the whole ride to Kentucky! If
you haven’t taken a bus trip before, this sounds minor, but it’s so much nicer
to have your own seat to curl up in and nap. Now I’m at Camp AJ preparing for
teen week. This is my favorite week at Camp because the kids are older and we
are able to have conversations with them. I’m looking forward to doing a
workshop about China for the teens. My goal is to teach them how to count to
ten in Chinese, how to use chopsticks and I’ll be introducing to some Chinese
food including dried squid!!
Leg #4: The return to Kansas (has yet to happen)
Looking forward to this pretty sight again! The sun setting on our farm in Kansas.
