We made it back to Denver Saturday afternoon. We both were able to get a full night’s sleep on the plane so the jet lag hasn’t been too bad. We did wake up at 4:00am Monday morning and could’t get back to sleep though. It’s amazing how much work you can get done before the sun comes up, although I have no intention of making that a habit.

It’s been very slow adjusting to normal life again. I don’t remember having this problem last year. Quite frankly, neither one of us is very motivated right now. Nothing I’ve done the last couple days has been very fulfilling. It’s hard to get excited about work, dinner, BBQs, and etc. (although church was nice) once you’ve spent the last two weeks seeing true poverty and trying to make a difference. It all just seems mundane and unimportant. It’s weird…after two weeks of a brutal schedule and sensory overload, you’d think I’d be ready to get back to a slower, more normal pace of life. Instead, I just find myself feeling empty. I hope we can shake it soon. There’s quite a lot to do around here.

I’ll try to get pictures posted in the next couple weeks. We have some team members still overseas so we won’t have everything in one place for a while. Until I can get that sorted, I’ll get a few of ours up for your viewing pleasure.

Thank you to everyone for all your support!
