I flew in to a majestic view of the mountains of Alaska and the Mendenhall Glacier. After collecting my luggage, I headed back to the 3rd grade.
Mr. Wyatt stood in front of his class and introduced Ms. Goff who had just flown in for a visit. "We have known each other for ten years." Wow! It does not feel like it has been that long.
Geoffrey Wyatt and I met back in 2003 while I was living in Caracas, Venezuela, as a missionary. He had moved there to teach at an international school.
I look forward to spending time with Geoffrey, his wife, Dana, their boys, Eli, and Lucas, as well as the sisters at the Juneau Church of Christ for the retreat this weekend.
We will eat arepas (a typical Venezuelan food) and reminisce a bit about the time spent exploring another country and building lasting relationships with Venezuelans.
Prayers continue for a country that remains in turmoil.
