One great thing about FOCUS is you get to know lots of awesome people. When I was a student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I got to know Rebecca and Travis. They both were students at UNL who went on to become missionaries. (My sister Ashley was actually in Rebecca's bible study.) Currently Travis is the team director at the University of Illinois in Champaign (where we were for five weeks this summer for FOCUS training) and they have two adorable children, Joseph who is three and Hannah who is one.
We had the privilege of hosting them when they came to Dubuque last week. Travis was the speaker for the big event with students on Thursday night. He talked about answering God's call and getting out of the boat in our Christian lives. The students were very receptive and we feel like it's going to be a great year!
The next day Rebecca, Hannah and I joined Kjersti (our team director's wife) and her one year old girl Olivia for a play date.
