It's really cold here

We've experienced pretty much every kind of weather short of natural disasters - rain, snow, wind, hail, and warmth. If it's sunny in CA, I'm going to spend my first day home laying out in the sun. Now I understand my dad who worships the sun everytime he's in CA from his home in Wisconsin. Dad, next week we can lay out together.

Tomorrow, in the painful morning hours, we leave Istanbul. We have been blessed by this trip. It has been awesome. It's amazing how refreshing it is to be with brothers and sisters in Christ. Even just hanging out does the job. We need each other. God knows that, and every once in a while I'm reminded of that too.
