In October Michelle & I flew together for the first time. Our journey marked the beginning of our married life together. While long distance relationships can be extremely challenging, I think they are a blessing in that they help you to not take for granted the gift of presence.
Michelle and I are grateful to all of the persons who have included us in their prayers, assisted us financially, and welcomed us in foreign lands. As the two of us seek to grow in faith and love together, I hope we will be able to be a blessing to others in ways that we would not be able to on our own. After all isn't that part of what marriage is about--having a lifelong companion who enhances your identity and service to the world.
