We accepted another term with Mennonite Central Committee. We will be the MCC Representatives in Honduras. We will live in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. In late March, Joel and I went, met the outgoing Reps, met with all the partner organizations and looked at schools for the kids. We will start our 5-year term in July.

MCC works with local organizations and gives them support in helping their communities through grants and service workers. As MCC Representatives (Reps for short), we will be maintaining relationships with the organizations, overseeing MCC service workers and being the representative for MCC with stakeholder churches (in Honduras that is the Evangelical Mennonite Church of Honduras and the Brethren in Christ).

We have spent almost seven years here in Pennsylvania. Joel is graduating (next Saturday!) with his Masters in International Development from Eastern University. He has done a fantastic job balancing on-line studies with home, work and church over the past two years. He has continued working as a Landscape Maintenance Foreman during his studies. I have worked at A Woman's Place as a Resident Counseling Advocate. A Woman's Place is the only domestic violence organization in Bucks County.

Our count down until we go has begun to intensify. Last night, was a going away party/baby shower/graduation celebration for various people at work. I am so blessed and thankful to work with these amazing women. We have a super supportive team who work hard at providing trauma informed services to people (mostly women) experiencing domestic violence. I am really going to miss my friends/co-workers.
