Yesterday, Jed and Jaime, the founders of the ministry here, announced that they are leaving, December 5th---THIS YEAR! Over the past couple months, it's become clear to them that their dream here, mostly involving the cafe, was actually becoming much more of a burden.
As you may guess, this isn't the easiest new for me! Not only are the people who I came here to work with leaving...but they are my dear dear friends! I miss them already, just thinking about it.
Joel is now in charge of Meltdown, specifically running our church. We also do still plan to open the cafe around January, Lord willing! If you have any ideas for a name, let me know, as we won't be using The Lanky Llama.
My hope is to really bless Jed and Jaime in the months they have left here. I have loved the time I have had with them, and the heart I have seen in them. If you would even like to send an email to them, or a note of encouragement, you can do so through me, and I'll deliver it.
Please keep us all, as well as the ministry, in your prayers.
