Summer is Flying by...

Wow time flies soo fast.

Ana is nearing five months prego:) She is doing great. I'm so impressed that she is still up at 6am weekdays to excersise with Rhonda. (they also have a few other partners on their daily run at the beach, including Kimyco & Anahi) All is well with her pregnancy, although tired, back hurts & the usual pressures. She's starting to rethink her earlier statement about having a large family. At least through childbirth.

Naomi is such a little girl! First words usually out of her mouth each morning (right after Bazo Leche, which is: glass of milk) are Falda (for her red Tutu) Shoes (pink Crocs) & Purse (pink princess)! Don't forget the headband (purple). Mix the multi colored Dora shirts & red glasses. She's ready to hit the town, which is usually the EOC courtyard, for a morning fashion show to entertain the campers & staff friends Aaron & Caleb.

I (Scott) am thoroughly enjoying the summer season pace, which is all the more enjoyable to share with an amazing staff community.

Each of the past four summers have been shared with a diverse group of interns, all special and beloved. Though there is a wonderful shift happening this year especially. This year we have 11 interns (five from the US, one from Canada & five from Mexico) as well as a couple of new national staff, who are all under the age of 25. It is a wonderful balance, and they bring such an amazing amount of energy, promise & outlook to the ministry.

This year we have been hosting the weekly staff gathering in our house and if I step back for a moment, I am surprised at the journey that has led to this point. I remember a few years ago when I would prefer my "cave" time to being with people.

Needless to say, Ana, Naomi & I are enjoying the journey of learning how to love one another in the setting of the Ensenada Outreach Center. We hope this spills over into all areas of our lives, as we continue to discover how to love the world around us.

Enjoy your summer,
