My Letter to Future Goers
My Letter to Future Goers Hello dear Goers, friends, whomever might read this blog post! I am sorry for not writing here for more than half a year, I promise that I have been writing newsletters! I am writing this post from a café in Duluth, MN my hometown. Although it is hard to believe I have been back in the States for a month now. I just did Reach Global’s (my sending organization) debriefing this past week and admittedly it all kind of feels like a dream.

It is totally by God’s planning because after looking at a bunch of apartments that were too expensive, really small or without much light, a friend of Noémi’s recommended this one to us.
