Farewell


This past Sunday young adults from the Portland, Vancouver, and Seattle areas gathered at the Garden Grove congregation to say "see ya later" to Erik! Everyone enjoyed the classic potluck dinner. Erik has been in the northwest for the past 6 or so months. Before that he was in the midwest doing World Service Corps for the Community of Christ. Erik will be returning to the Netherlands this weekend. Erik was an active participant in the MAYAs and YAPS groups. We will miss his smile, jokes, insights, and pictures! All of us have been blessed to have gotten to know Erik. Erik, we wish you well and look forward to seeing you again (hmmm...seems like a young adult trip to Europe would be needed).

Heya People!

It took me a long time to get things organized over here, just after barely two weeks in the Netherlands, I went to WinterKamp near the border of Austria. Which was awesome and I just got home after 11 hours by car and 4 by train.
But it was an awesome experience, once again.

I just wanted to say that I felt so blessed to spent time with all the marvelous people from the Portland/Seattle/Salem area in the past months.
You guys were amazing! And it felt as I belonged for years in our small group.
My wish is to see you all soon again. Who knows in America again, but first in Europe. ;-)

Thank you all for the wonderfull time!

Your Maya/Yaps member from Europe haha
