Thank you so much for following us on this journey. I can hardly believe that we leave in less than 24 hours. Wow! My tummy is a bundle of excitement and nerves. I also still have some final packing to do.
Right now we are preparing to take Tyler to his Uncle and Aunt's house. I know he will be very well taken care of! I am just so sad about leaving him. Please pray the transition is easy for all of us.
We will not be able to have any contact via Facebook, Twitter, our phones or blogs while we are in Belize. But the team will post updates on the Global Hope blog.

Thank you to those who have committed to pray for us in the following ways:
- For Tyler - him not to miss us. Us not to miss him. It's his birthday on Monday and we will miss it. They are having a big party for him so I'm sure he will be fine. He'll be 3!
- For Bennett and Luke - that their hearts would be open to what God wants them to experience and to show love to each other and to those they meet.
- For our team - that we would have unity, fun and build lasting friendships.
- For the people of Ladyville, Belize - that they would have hearts open and we would be able to serve their community.
- For the teens and pre-teens of this church - that they would build foundations that would help them to become future leaders in their country.
- For our VBS, Sunday School lessons, helping to build an addition on a building, sharing in meals, giving groceries and most importantly spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in the most loving way - through our service.
- For Keith and I - we are leading an adult Sunday school class on the topic of grace. We don't feel like we are ready. But we do know that God just wants us to share our story of HIS grace in our life and our marriage.
- For safe travels.
- For no sickness.
- For rest when we need it and energy to do the things we need to do.
- For God to use us in the most amazing ways!!!!
Luke is nervous about the food, Keith about the sleeping on an air mattress, Bennett about the water and I'm just nervous about my family being in a foreign land for the first time. Nervous and excited! We are all ready to go and thrilled to have this opportunity. But leaving what is normal is always hard. We know that God does not intend for us to stay in the same place all the time and that this is just one of the beautiful blessings he has given us right now - to travel to Belize.
We are thankful.
Thank you for praying and we hope you follow our trip. I will post when we get back!
