Hey friends! This is Justin here! Writing one of the few posts that Samantha doesn't do :) she's an allstar writer, and so does most of the heavy writing, but I get my hands in the pot once in a while!

We just got back from Madison, Wisconsin, where we downloaded a multitude of information about InterVarsity and campus ministry. The second half of our training was focused on planting new communities on the college campus.

We are in Denver now, raising support for our ministry at Utah Valley University. It's grueling work in one sense, and enjoyable in another. I love telling people our vision for Utah, and getting excited over and over about the work we get to do there (Phil. 1:4 has something to say about that)! However, it's mentally strenuous, and keeps you on your toes.

Colorado has been abnormally wet since we got here, which is very enjoyable. Rain is probably one of my most favorite creations of God. He couldnt have done it better, I think.

We hope you are all doing well, and I promise, we are coming up with better ways to stay in touch with you all! If you are in Denver and want to hang out, give me a call! Also, feel free to follow us on twitter: @j_tappan and @tappan_samantha

Much love,

Justin (and Samantha)
