I’ve spent the last few days here in Lancaster, PA at the HOPE International HQ. They call it the CSU, which means the Central Service Unit. The people here are very dynamic and very nice. This is a small but growing organization and it is very exciting to be part of it. Coming from a large organization like PLNU it is definitely a change of environment, but that is not a bad thing in life. There are many exciting things developing with HOPE Congo and I am very eager to get involved and looking forward to being able to write about some of it when it is appropriate.
The countryside here is quite beautiful. I never took my camera out to snap photos and there wasn’t much time for that, but I wish that I could have shown you something. Maybe I will find some photos on the net to post later. I sent a puzzle to my grandpa recently with a Pennsylvania Dutch farm scene painting on it and I feel like I am in that painting here. There are cool looking houses and barns and rolling hills. I haven’t seen any Amish horse drawn buggies yet, but there is still a little time. It’s very classic American-feeling here with all of the old architecture and the quaint streets of downtown Lancaster. I am glad that HOPE is based here because I think I could live here someday if need be and I will enjoy the visits.
The weather has been great here. It’s in the 70’s today, almost a little balmy. It’s nice to have a little San Diego weather before I leave for Congo.
I’ll be on a flight this evening to Paris.
Love,
Brian
