Dear << Test First Name >>,
We finally have something new to share with you: After almost 3 incredible years, we are leaving Cambodia. We are thrilled to be going to one of YWAMs two EARS* bases in the entire world; Heredia, Costa Rica. There we intend to make another home and serve as God enables.
Early in 2015, soon after renewing the lease on our home, we started wondering about our sojourn in Cambodia. We had originally thought Cambodia would be a permanent assignment. Much soul searching, asking and answering of questions, prayer and a second invitation from Heredia's leadership has gone into the making of this decision. We think that we have learned, taught, connected and done most of what God intended by bringing us here.
Our new assignment begins in January, 2016. We leave Siem Reap on October 14th. Yup! That gives us a long time (2 months!) to get there! If you are where we will be; please contact us so we can make plans to get together with you.
Here is our Itinerary:
October 14 We fly from Siem Reap, Cambodia to Kona, Hawai'i ~~~ arriving Friday, October 16. ~~~ We are booked into the Go Center. ~~~ We hope to spend some quality time re-connecting with all our friends and catching up with Science and Tech. happenings. You'll probably find us at the cafeteria. ~~~ Come join us there! ~~~
October 23 We fly from Kona, Hawai'i to Vancouver, Canada arriving on the 24th. ~~~ We'll be there for Laura's birthday! ~~~ We'll make our base camp at Richard & JoAnne's in Chiliwack, but we hope to travel a bit as invitations come in. ~~~ Hint, Hint! ~~~
November 22 We fly from Vancouver to Belize City, Belize. We are greatly anticipating this never-before-traveled journey.
November 23 We plan to take the ferry boat to Destination Paradise - a YWAM Base - Vacation Time! This will be our first real vacation in over three years. YooHoooo!
December 17 We head over to Heredia - This is the only leg of our journey which is not booked yet. ~ Part of the adventure!

The excitement is building! We've started counting the days. Isn't it wonderful that we can go off on another adventure?
So! There you have it! Please, keep in touch. You know we love to hear from you.
With all our Love and Respect, Jackie & John
