We've had lots of people coming through this summer. My brother Andrew Claassen visited at the end of June. Around the same time, we received a short-term volunteer from Goshen College, Lindsy Glick. At the beginning of July, Don and Deo (from MCC Canada) came for a visit to see MCC Nicaragua programs that receive funding through the Canadian government. Keith Zehr, fellow Kansan, also arrived in July to be with MCC for about 6 weeks. July 21st, we said our very fond farewells to the SALTers (1 year volunteers) Erin Wilson and Sarah Klassen (pictured). 
But we hardly had time to breathe before the group from California came and went (see post below).
This morning we took the first IVEPer, Cecibel (in the center of the left-hand photo below),
to the airport to head to the States for a year of service and learning. The other IVEPer, David (shown below), leaves for Canada next Saturday. Then we will just wait at the airport for our new group of 4 SALTers. Though sometimes sad and sometimes tiring to have so many people coming and going, it is invigorating to be in the midst of so many connections between people and the Church all over the world.

hmmm... that looks a little like Kairos - I don't know how to spell it... but could it be? glad you had a busy but good "summer". So weird to see places I recognize but am not close to.
How lame is it to put two comments on the same entry. But I need to tell you (and I don't feel like writing an email that I just made my very last blog post. The last one of all time (on that particular blog) so do go and check it out.
