We took them to church on Sunday and as I mentioned they joined us for the closing ceremony of the conflict resolution course.  Then, we spent the last 4 days together at the beach near Huatulco.  After a nine hour drive over very windy roads, we finally made it and enjoyed our stay at a beautiful condo near the beach.  We had\u00a0a relaxing time there together spending most of our time playing in the waves and swimming in the ocean and the pool and just hanging out at the condo.  The biggest blessing of all was just being together, sharing stories, laughing and playing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/chris-dan-petra-coffee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-712 aligncenter\" style=\"border-style: initial;border-color: initial\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/chris-dan-petra-coffee.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/clauson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/chris-dan-petra-coffee.jpg 474w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/clauson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/chris-dan-petra-coffee-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/brodins-monte-alban.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-711 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/brodins-monte-alban.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"466\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/clauson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/brodins-monte-alban.jpg 466w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/clauson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/03\/brodins-monte-alban-294x300.jpg 294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/clauson?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=699&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a little more than a week at the end of January, we had Erika&#8217;s brother, Chris, and parents, Dan &amp; Petra.
