Well, the kids have completed their birth passport applications and hopefully we will see their shiny faces inside some new passports soon. Keith already has his from his last mission trip which is great!
And I have sent away for my new birth certificate so I can hopefully get a passport soon! Just a little glitch in my process because I was born out of the country on an USAF base and my birth certificate is as old as I am but looks much worse! :)
Prayers for a speedy process there would be appreciated.
We've met with our team to discuss plans and start getting some organization to our trip. I love the team we are going with - so many of them are already great friends that we attend church with and I'm looking forward to getting know a couple new families. As we plan what we want to do for the community in Belize, it is such a blessing to watch the kids. Every time there is a question of what we should do, all of their hands shoot up to volunteer suggestions. I love to see their enthusiasm and excitement for loving on these people they have not even met, yet!
Anyway, we seem to be moving along nicely and appreciate your prayers so much! We actually feel much peace about everything coming together for this trip. We are gaining ground on being halfway to our funding which is awesome - THANK YOU!!!

Thank you!
Thank you to those who have already pledged to support us for our mission trip to Belize - both financially and more importantly by praying.
We feel your prayers already as some obstacles have moved out of the way. For instance we need passports. It takes 4-6 weeks to process and three weeks ago we could not get a local appointment until May. So, I made the only appointment I could about 45 minutes away from home for the end of April. Which is fine but it just requires us to be away from work longer and is inconvenient. A couple days ago, I decided to take a chance and call our local post office and to my pleasant surprise 3 spots had just opened up this coming week!
I know that may seem silly, "Sure Janel, someone just canceled and your timing was good." No, God's timing is always good.
The pledge of funds from you confirms that this trip is about involving more than just our family. In fact, it's all about involving YOU in what God will be doing through us in Belize.
So, thank you. :)
