We miss Texas…and Delaware…and Michigan. No, rather…it’s more that we miss the people. We are enjoying Gainesville, GA…much of that is due to the community here at AIM that have become family. If you or someone you know is interested in experiencing community life, an internship with AIM…there is a new program. Check it out at – www.adventures.org
Above: Last night…at the Cinco de Mayo party with some of the AIM community.
I digress. Due to unforeseen events, we weren’t able to make a few of the trips to see those we miss as we had originally intended. We still hope to get over and see you all before 2008 comes and goes.
To the best of our knowledge, here is our travel schedule:
-I (Connie) may be spending 1-2 weeks in Belize as support staff (with my father, Gary Lengkeek thelengkeeks.myadventures.org) on a youth mission trip for 2 different churches. June 16-22 or 27th?
-Both Don and I will be with the Ambassador team heading to the highlands in Peru from July 1-12th. Training for all the Real Life and Ambassador teams that Don is involved with is – June 11-30th.
-Sometime this September, we hope to return to Guatemala and scout out/set up for an Ambassador team next year. We love Guatemala and are excited about adding this as one of the Ambassador locations for 2009.
-End of October, beginning of November, Kenya! God willing…and our AIM staff are able to return to Kenya, we will be taking a team to support them in whatever way possible. If you are interested in participating in this…please email me. Length of time is not determined yet. No shorter than a week and no longer than two.
In August, we have dear friends (Chad Mustain chadmustain.myadventures.organd Heather Beard heatherbeard.myadventures.org) who we met through AIM, that will be married in Boulder, Colorado. Don is the best man…and wouldn’t miss this opportunity. If our finances and schedule should allow…I hope to attend as well.
