Just the two of us...discernment weekend, here we come!

8,370 days ago ... or 22 years & 11 months ago, we got married.



If you had told me then that we would be going away this weekend for a "discernment weekend" to go live in Bolivia for one (or 2, 3) years, I would've said "YOU'RE CRAZY!"

But here we are 22, almost 23 years later, getting ready to fly to the Big Apple for a discernment weekend with the Salesians. We're looking forward to finding out more about the Salesians and Don Bosco and his missionary style.

What a glorious and blessed day our wedding day was! We've had quite an eventful and extremely enjoyable marriage raising our three children! We loved being involved in their activities and spending time with our children.

But now we're facing empty-nest. 


So instead of sitting home empty-nesters, we've been planning and looking into missionary work in a Spanish-speaking country. The Salesians sort of came into our path a couple different ways (funny how the Lord does that).
We started the paperwork a few months ago, and now here we are, DISCERNMENT WEEKEND. This is for us to learn more about the Salesian mission and for them to learn more about us...the discernment works both ways.

We'd appreciate all of your prayers for us and for the Salesians during this important weekend. We are looking forward to it, and we trust that God's got His plans for us...we just need to listen.


Easter blessings,
Lizzy K
