Reflecting on friends and food

Now that we have this blog, I guess I'm supposed to be posting on it regularly. The problem is that I'm too busy living life to stop and reflect on it. Peter and I have just returned from a 25 year reunion where a group of us who were friends in our carefree 20s spent three days together reflecting on our friendship and where our lives have gone over the years. It was a great experience, and on the drive home, Peter and I both expressed that while we loved being back in the Bay area because of all the friends, we are so happy with the life God has given us here in Corvallis, that there was no sadness in leaving. Rather, we were excited to get back to work and back to the people we care about here.

Our open house on the 21st was a wonderful time of appreciating where God has led the ministry in the past 10 years. There were about 40 people who stopped by, and I was able to introduce some of my awesome volunteers. Blanca (in red apron) made pupusas for everyone.

She wants to work from home selling this traditional food from El Salvador, so let me know if you're interested, and if you still don't know what they are, just ask and we'll invite you to our next pupusa party.

We also served amazing Mexican sweet breads that my friend Manuel from Iglesia Emanuel bakes in his home. Yes, I am shamelessly advertising for my friends.
