My letter to future Goers
Two years in a different country can teach you a lot about yourself as well as those around you and a number of other aspects of life. As I think about what I learned while in West Asia I think the biggest lessons I learned involved flexibility and humility. If you haven’t heard it yet and are considering heading overseas to work in pretty much any field you will hear this soon. “You have to be flexible.” Or at least something along those lines.

What A New Year Brings
Every year has a beginning and an end. As we approach a new year it is easy to sense the excitement and anticipation of what the coming year will hold as you meet with and talk to people. All of the plans and dreams of what could happen fill our minds and encourage us to press on toward our new found (or old) goals. Celebrating a new year in January means that we can all come together and encourage each other during some of the coldest and gloomy days of the year.
