Oh gosh - where to start?

So much change and growth in the past 2 months! Rachel (our one constant at the LGH office in Colorado since Dave and I are back and forth from the office to take care of our kids) left a couple weeks ago for Uganda with her husband, Randy, to develop and bring leadership to the Ugandan side of things. We're adjusting and we have some great fill-in help with Cory and Dave's mom -Teresa. Thanks!

As we grow, we realize the importance of being true and transparent. We've definitely felt the need to be more honest with the hardships and struggles and sort of 'desexify' work in Africa. Not that it isn't rewarding or worth it, but sometimes (especially with media) it gets easily glorified. We want to be more transparent with the fact that we are simply humans - trying to run an organization with the best heart possible - and that inevitably is messy! Life is messy, relationships are messy, the world is messy - period. No easy solutions, no quick fixes, but we can offer our hearts and lives and we're fully committed to that! It's easy to put up a great website and appear 'big' but we want to make sure we are staying true to ourselves and the vision of LGH by being 'small' - inviting people in and exposing our hearts and the struggles/joys that come along with our work.

So we're asking you to follow us as we start to post weekly (if not bi-weekly) blogs pertaining to what's going on with LGH and our lives. Feel free to comment and ask questions. And thanks for being on this journey with us! - Morgan
