Transition #1 - New Team
In the month of October, there were many transitions. 1. I have officially moved out from my host family’s house onto house- and dog- sitting for my leaders while they are gone. 2. With my leaders in the states, I humbly accept the roles God had for me on this new team. And 3. With even a greater focus on gypsie villages, my new leader and I have been making village trips together looking for open families and hearts.
