My life will shift significantly when I move to Southern California, and these past few months have been filled with packing, planning, praying, and intentionally spending time with people I deeply love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am continuing to work as a Home Health nurse (LPN) through November as I help my patients transition\u2014many of whom have become dear friends.

Recently, we\u2019ve been focusing on helping with legal documents on Tuesday evenings, and on November 25th I will be teaching another CPR\/First Aid class in Spanish!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The\u00a0One Body class\u00a0at Denver Friends Church continues to be one of the greatest blessings in my week. We are a bilingual class with a steady 15\u201320 people, and the Holy Spirit is clearly moving among us. We learn from one another, share deeply, and celebrate how God is transforming lives. Most Sundays, we end up spending the entire day together! We support one another through birthdays, hardships, housing needs, car repairs, meals, and prayer. Please continue praying for this unique and beautiful community\u2014that they would grow in unity, empowerment, and a deepening relationship with Jesus.<a href=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29052 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG_3249-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 178px) 100vw, 178px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also had the privilege of attending two community gatherings with\u00a0Seeds of Exchange, a collective of everyday people using their stories and gifts to make a global and local impact. It has been life-giving to participate, even briefly. I also reconnected with a long-time friend,\u00a0Shamso, a refugee from Somalia who has survived incredible hardship and now advocates powerfully for others. She wrote\u00a0<em>The Jungle Didn\u2019t Kill Me<\/em>, and I\u2019m excited to see the connection forming between her and this group!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Community &amp; Celebration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m having a\u00a0Friendsgiving Feast and Farewell Party\u00a0to gather all the wonderful people I\u2019ve grown to love during my time in Denver.
