~We have so enjoyed our time in California with some lovely friends. As the summer is coming to a close, we're looking ahead to what's next.

Due to factors related to both my health and our ministry aims, we are looking to settle in the Seattle, Washington, area.

If anyone is in the Seattle area or has contacts in the Seattle area that can help (with temporary housing, job possibilities, etc.), please contact us. We need to have something in place by the 3rd week of this month.

You can read more in the 2nd comment on my Instagram post.
