I remember moving my little self over to Portugal with Jane in April 2003, and then me flying back to New York only 3 months later to be a Workcrew boss at Young Life’s Lake Champion. That was a hard month for me, and I was caught in between worlds. Nevertheless, we had the most stellar Housekeeping crew ever.
I still remember our talks about Romans 12 in the Town Hall. I remember our “spirit sticks” made of toilet paper rolls. I remember these young ones cleaning toilets faster than any Mama would ever believe. I remember the tears of some and the questions we had and oh, how it was good.
My hair was a little different then.
I also remember coming home to Portugal to find out that, yes, Jane had found us a new roommate: Gus. Only I hated cats. Until about day three of Gus.
