tOdd & Cathy | Sept. 12, 2022
We are so thankful . . . 
to be moving forward into the new "normal" God has given us here in the United States. Todd started his job at our sending church (Good Shepherd Community Church) in April and has had the summer to learn the role. I (Cathy) have been in a process of career guidance with Wycliffe to determine where my skills can best be used. 

I am now officially assigned as the Manager of Curriculum and Course Design. This team works with all of the departments in Wycliffe USA to provide learning resources and opportunities, from preparing new members for their time overseas, to ongoing professional development within every tier of the organization. This is an opportunity that combines my educational background with my love of writing and the creative process, and also gives me a chance to develop my own leadership skills within a team context. 

Working remotely will be a new experience for me, but with all the collaborative tools available these days, it's possible! I've spent the last few weeks catching up on all the technology I've missed while I was out of the country for the last decade! (And no . . . a month is not enough time to learn it all!) 

Summer 

We had a full summer as a family, but we didn't have much time together! 

Drew began an internship in Eugene with Roseburg Forest Products doing data visualization (mathy computer stuff) this summer which will carry into his final school year this fall. 
Alyssa served on a short term mission trip to Romania with Good Shepherd Community Church to teach English and share Jesus.  Afterward, she was able to visit with a friend and fellow classmate from Ukarumpa who now resides in the Netherlands. 

Alyssa has also been active in volunteering with Wycliffe's training and re-entry programs for overseas missionaries. She has served onsite in Orlando and online from Oregon through zoom working with children of all ages. She has plans to return to Orlando in October to work with kids in a training program for missionaries returning to the US on furlough. 
Todd and I have both been busy learning our new roles. During the last week of August, my role took me to Orlando for a conference on how Wycliffe is engaging new innovative translation models that will empower effective progress in future Bible translation. My first task in my new management role is to find a way to communicate this valuable information in an accessible format to those who were unable to attend the conference. 

Earlier this summer I attended an intense debrief retreat through a LifeImpact Oasis house that really helped me process my time overseas. This was a huge blessing! We are praying for more opportunities to process transition as individuals and as a family.
