We had dinner with Dan & Ginna Grimm. They have a missions organization, GATHER, and we consider them two of our missions mentors. It was through their work in Bolivia that Cindy was introduced to the Latin American people and Scott Strouse which led to her going to Honduras on her first trip a few years ago which led to Brad going to Honduras earlier this year and, as they say, the rest is history. (yes, for you English majors this maybe a run on sentence. Cut us some slack. Now that we are trying to learning another language we're still trying remember what all those English terms mean such as: conjugate a verb, definite and indefinite article, participles, etc.) Back to the topic. We spent the evening talking about what we would be doing, what they thought about what we plan on doing, asking for any suggestions, insight, and/or wisdom. Finally discussing how GATHER can be a part of what we are doing. Having experienced people to draw on is great.
