"What are you going to do when you return from Ecuador?" seems to be the million dollar questions these days. Usually, our first response involves eating some kind of food we've been craving. After that, long days at the beach soaking up the sun we haven't seen all year. Followed by outdoor dinners on the deck of our parents home while we rehash memories of this year over good food and wine. Mid September, we head to Charleston, SC to visit some dear old friends we haven't seen in over 3 years. When we return to AZ at the very end of September, we will be moving back into our condo, pray that our 97' Honda Civic still runs, and try to figure out life from there. Greg is considering going back to flight school to pursue a degree in aviation, a dream that has stayed with him through many years and careers. I will look for work as a physical therapist again and continue my spanish studies at a local conversation studio. While we do not feel that long term missions are in our future, we have a desire to continue working with the Latino community on a local level. This year God has placed within us specific desires and dreams and we are excited to pursue them both individually and as a couple.
Thanks you for journeying with us this year. Your blog comments and emails buoyed us when we felt disconnected and in need of encouragement. You mean so much to us.
Love,
Greg and Amy
P.S.- Pava arrived safely in the U.S. and is enjoying her new surroundings, esp chasing chipmunks. We are excited to take her camping when we get back in AZ

And......don't forget heading out to SD to meet your new niece/nephew. :0)
Well Greg.... I can tell you that aviation career has missed you for quite some time... come on back!!! You won't be disappointed! ;) You guys are always welcome to make a pit stop with Pava if you find yourself traveling this way.
We are excited to have you home again soon. You both must feel so rewarded to have gotten to serve the "least of these". May you never forget how faithful God has been to you over this past year. All that comes to mind is Isaiah 55:8-9 We love you guys, Jon and Jolene
Hey Amy have a safe trip back. Hopefully Jess and I can catch up with you and Greg. You guys always have a open invitation to visit us in NYC!

Amy! I miss you so much. It seems crazy that it has already been a year. The days go by way too fast. I'm up at Eastern now but I'm going to come home this weekend to see you. Can't wait. Love you lots!
Can't wait to see you, hopefully this weekend! And see Pava chase some chipmunks... I'm sure it's quite entertaining.
Travel safe Amy!
awww... I can't wait to see you two! This post has made me sooo excited for you to be back in the states! Can't wait to take Pava camping with you two - maybe in AZ she'll chase javalina's! :)
And you may even have new neighbors in 2009!! :)
Dear Amy and Greg -- I'm looking forward to seeing you both again ... SOON! Welcome back to the States. Thank you for your faithfulness in serving the Lord and loving on those kids this past year. I love you both so much. -- your brother and friend, Chris
