“Dear Patricia”

I have a super hard decision to make this morning, wth big thanks to my letters-of-recommendation writers who started my on this journey, K. Rashid Nuri, Rebecca Rohloff Clough, and Robyn Elliott when I originally applied for Jamaica (just 2 hours away). But Jamaica is not where I was ultimately called to serve*.

I have consulted in depth with some of you (including, of course, my husband, daughters, parents, and brother). It is not an easy decision, and the ramifications are enormous, specifically in relation to leaving my beloved elder family members. Now, a final hour or two in prayer for guidance . . .
