I am going to miss Monday nights so much. For the past 3 years, Bekah and I (and now our wonderful small group) have been taking pizzas down to Birmingham’s southside area with the purpose to share a slice of pizza with someone who is hungry. What do we do at the park? We eat pizza, talk about basketball (even in the off-season), we laugh, cry, pray, sing, throw frisbees and footballs, we talk about injustice and corruption and we talk about struggles with some of the most beautiful people in Birmingham.

Bekah and I have dreaded telling them that we were moving to Nicaragua but we mustered up the courage last week. It went really well and we left very encouraged – but at the same time our hearts hurt.

We have prayed for God to lead a group of people to us that would take over and love the people there more than we do. He has done that by showing and the best part is that it will be our small group of friends from our church!
