Washington to Colorado: What We Did in Each Place!

First of all, thank you to each one of you for being so patient in my lack of blog posts and updates, I’m sorry for not being more on top of letting you know what is going on. I hope you enjoy hearing a little bit from each place of what we did or were a part of. Praying for you all in this crazy time to know no matter what is going on, God is still working and making things new. Keep holding onto Him in the good and trying times. 

Here is a glimpse into my last two months on the field here in the states, hope you enjoy!
