Hello Friends and Family,
That's right, for those of you Oregonians who don't know (and for others who aren't Oregonians that don't care) today Oregon turned the big 149!!! Working at the capital turned Oregon's birthday into quite the event. Cake, lots of people, and a speech by the Governor at the capital all made the day a lot of fun. Not to mention, oh yeah, its Valentine's day. Hopefully you are all enjoying your families or spouses or girlfriends/boyfriends, etc. during this day. Don't forgot the One that loved you the most too. We are enjoying Valentines with of course, each other, but also with one of our adopted families/landlords of our bedroom in Keizer, the Jamisons. We had heartshaped pizza and an incredible heartshaped cake that was delicious. My stomach is the biggest its been since we left for China, but every bite was delicious. Kealy and I are going to see a late movie just the two of us tonight, but it is fun celebrating Valentine's day with a family too. I forgot how crazy Valentine's day is at school and with kids.
Kealy goes to her substitute orientation tomorrow so she can begin teaching next Tuesday in the salem-keizer area and the 'special' legislative session is winding down. We are still praying earnestly for God's direction in our life right now, but we are really enjoying see friends throughout the state and here in Salem and getting back involved with some of the ministries we were a part of before we left as well as some new ministries that are evolving. We are excited to try and apply what we learned in China to our experiences/ministry here, but sometimes it feels like we never left. Still though, we definitely get fuller faster when we eat, which is probably a good thing! Enjoy celebrating Oregon's birthday and this special day of Love! Happy Valentines Day!
In Christ,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson
