Sorry friends and family,
It has been a long time since we updated our blog. As some of you might have known we were home in the States for the break. It was very nice and relaxing to get back after eleven months and see some of you. Unfortunately we never made it up to Boise, so we were very sad that we did not get to see our Boise peeps Rest assured, we think of you often and would love to hear from you anytime!
Our break was definitely challenging at times. My own dear grandmother suffered a stroke in December and my siblings and I had to take her to the emergency room. I stayed with her in the emergency room for about 16 hours overnight, which was hard for us grand kids She was transferred to a different hospital the next day unannounced to us, and we had to track her down. My grandfather also figured out he has had two strokes, but his were fortunately not as serious as my grandmother's. She has now stabilized but has lost most of her memory, which is a sad thing for all of us. We had to move them into an assisted living facility. My sister in law, Kendra, was also hospitalized and my father in law had a stint put in. To top it all off, my great aunt Nancy died over the Christmas break. It was a really hard break, and we almost didn't return to finish our internship. But the school let us come back a little late which greatly helped. Please keep our family's health in prayer!
We are back into our internship now, this semester brings new challenges and new adventure. Jono is in charge of the grounds and maintenance department, and I am in charge of the Laundry and Conference Center rooms, which we call the "U-shape." It is very different than the Coffee Shop, and I really miss being around people. But it is still a great area and definitely nice to have a new area of service in the school. We hope you all had a great holiday season and we will try to update again soon!
Love you all,
Sarah and Jono
