Winding Down

We have returned to Holden Village for our last week (two weeks for Maya and Bob) before our return to Bellingham. Just as this chunk of snow has impacted the lake into which it was thrown, our six months at Holden Village has affected our family in long-lasting and beautiful ways. What a privilege it has been to experience life in a tiny mountain community, surrounded by truly majestic mountain peaks, meeting interesting people from all over the state, the country, and the world!
During our week out of the village we accomplished a lot, from getting Nate enrolled at Bellingham High School (he is so excited!) to finding a home to rent, thanks to our generous friends. We are all feeling ready to make this very positive transition.
This week we will pack, finish up our jobs, and welcome a friend of Maya's to stay with her for the last two weeks. We are looking forward to spending time with the very special people who have really touched our hearts during our time of living in this God-filled wilderness!

We are sorry to see you go. Going home to spring and summer will be wonderful, you experienced what winter was like and now get to find green grass and flowers months before we will.
