Espresso Emergency

Mayday, mayday...I have a caffenine emergency! At 18:45 today Gaggia (my beloved espresso maker) went down. Upon making two lattes the fuse link blew. Of course that sounds pretty dramatic. I actually didn't know what happened until I called an espresso tech @ Wholelattelove.com. I need to replace the $3 part ($10 shipping!), but until it arrives, I'm espressoless. In lieu of flowers, donations will be received in the form of Starbucks cards.

Training Begins

This week, the hottest in my 7 year DC history I might add, I begin training for my 7th marathon. I'm going south to run the Richmond marathon on Nov 12th and I've got high hopes this year! I'm planning on doing things like: sticking to my training, waking up early enough so I don't have to melt in the summer heat, and avoiding injury so that I can finish with a respectable time. I'm hoping for a 3:30 this year (for those of you scoring at home, that's shaving more than 20 minutes off of my best time). I know that's pushing it, but I'm tired of 70 year old seniors beating me to the finish! The adventure begins now.

Sam Turns 2

The little guy isn't so little anymore! A few days ago Samuel Jaden Godzwa turned 2 and rockets went off. This is literally true since one of his presents was a "Stomp Rocket" (air powered foam rocket launcher). We had a blast (sorry couldn't help myself) with Jen's parents opening up presents and then playing with all Sam's toys. I was a little concerned with his disinterest in a remote control car we got for him, but then I realized that I won't have to share :) As you can see in the picture, Sam was very helpful in making sure I was well fed. He didn't spill a crumb! The chocolate mess you see on the plate is the remains of an incredible baseball cake crafted by Jen. It was a great day.

Taking the Show on the Road

It’s hard to believe that more than eight years have passed since we’ve began the adventure of ministering to college students! During that time we presented the message of Jesus to hundreds and dozens come to know him personally. American University Chi Alpha has gone from a small Bible study to a fruitful ministry reaching almost every area of the campus. We have even had a hand in pioneering university ministry at the University of Virginia, Gallaudet University, University of New Hampshire, University of North Carolina, and Villanova University through the Washington, DC internship. God has done far more than we ever could have imagined!
A big reason for that is you!!! We have had a team of faithful supporters enabling us to focus our attention full-time on reaching students, training leaders and influencing nations.
In the next few months we’re devoting our time to adding to that team of supporters. We need to find 30 more partners who would be able to support us at $50/month. If you would like to make the ministry you read about possible, give us a call!
We also want to reconnect with our current team. We’ll be calling you soon as we make our travel schedule.
