Alright, time for the inevitable: face that question that’s been asked to me about a bajillion times in the past… well, entire year! (More, recently, however.) “So what’s next, Leisha?”
End-of-year retreat for the Tucson/Borderlands site is the beginning of August, w/ the transition retreat for all national YAVs at Ghost Ranch the 17th-21st of August.
After, I plan to head back to the border, spend a tad bit of time there, and then pack up a backpack and head to Southern Mexico for a period of time.
Goal: Visit Cafe Justo community in Salvador Urbina, Chiapas. Cross into Guatemala, perhaps quick trip to Xela. Visit San Cristobol de las Casas. Oaxaca, Veracruz. Return to Guanajuato, visit my much-missed amigos there. On over to Tepic, Nayarit to visit the family of Vicki (her sister and nieces/nephews and one daughter). (NOTE: Order LIKELY not exact!) Back to the border…
And then what?
I’m looking at Youth Director positions within my Presbytery. Yes, this’d mean Leisha’s return to the Midwest, for longer than a month at a time (shocker, I know). We’ll see who’s willing to take me at this point in the fall. Let’s pray for the best.
Nothing’s set… but I’m seeing a path set before me now. Questions remain here on the border, much pertaining to my relationship w/ Jonatan. Pray for us, eh?
