Suddenly 2016 is almost over and we will be leaving this beautiful place along with many newfound friends. We have lived here through four seasons and have worked hard, hiked hard, and had many wonderful experiences. On February 1, we will begin our next adventure at the International Guest House in Washington DC. We are beginning to shift our thoughts from mountain to city and we appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we travel down this new road.
If you want the picture version of what we've been doing since our last blog post, scroll down and make sure you see the last couple of pictures showing Jonathan having his lifelong dream fulfilled - having a building named in his honor. (RIIIGHT! ;-)
At the end of July, Jonathan hiked Uncompahgre Peak with new friend, Dale Nissley
We had family and friends come to visit in August and September: Lew Naylor and Belle Duerksen from Goshen, John and Karen Donnerberg from Texas, The Schrag Family, Esther and Harold Helmuth (and David, Emmy, Anna and Ezra Helmuth), Maria Wogomon from Goshen, and Lizzy Diaz from Goshen. In November, Doug Reed and Keith Schrag visited. Fun to have all of them here especially after a crazy, busy summer!

October was a breathtaking month of colored leaves, traveling to PA for our annual family gathering, Mennonite Relief Sale in Rocky Ford, CO, seeing the Spanish Peaks for the first time, camping, and enjoying having time off to explore in CO.
