Yesterday in church we sang the song, “Blessed Be Your Name”. In the past few months we have sung this several times in church and each time I get choked up and am so thankful to God that I understand the lyrics “When the darkness closes in Lord, STILL I will say, Blessed be the…

March did come roaring in like a lion for us. The Belize Mission was booked solid with teams for last month. We helped where we were needed and the girls enjoyed participating in a couple of VBS’s that the teams put on. The teams did a great job ministering, constructing, painting, and being flexible. We…

Our jeep has been out of commission for a while. John is working hard to get it road worthy again, but in the meantime we rely on the graciousness of others, thanking God for their kindness. Today I had to get to Belize City, and the only way to get there was on the bus…

Last week marked the beginning of our discipleship. It was a bit of an adjustment for us because there was also a team staying at the Belize Mission. We learned that it takes a balancing act to do both. We knew that by discipling it would cut into time we spent with the team in…

BOY! We are excited that we will not have to pay for another wedding! A boy will be a totally new experience for us. I prayed that God would give us just what we needed, so I am happy with His decision. It will be nice to have a change in gender. I will write…

God is good! We actually had a fairly smooth travel day. The only problems we had were that to travel internationally with an infant on your lap, you have to have a paper ticket. The people at the check-in desk in Belize were very nice about it though, and spent almost an hour getting us…
