Hi Janae, Got your txt msgs. Glad to hear you are having fun. I can't wait to hear all about Belize and to see your pictures (you've become quite the photographer). We all miss you so much. I know you miss us too, well hopefully you miss Gage a little. We are praying for you and the team everyday. We know the Lord is doing great thing through all of you. Blessings to all. Love, Mommy
Thanks for the picture updates. It's like we're there. Well...without the bugs, heat and humidity. Don't forget to wash behind your ears. Praying for you.
Thanks for the pics! Samantha now wants to go to Belize to ride horses!! I told her I think we can find some here. You are in our prayers and we are looking forward to seeing all the pics and hearing the stories! God is good!!
This is awesome! You have no idea how much more you will receive in return for what you are giving now. God keep you all and bring you home safe. Aunt Rosie in Barstow CA
You've all been in my prayers so often, I know the work the Lord is doing through you is great and the strength that He has given to you is such a blessing in that it allows you to continue to spread His word. :) God Bless, you are all missed so much.
So, there's my general message,
Lusha- I know you've opened my note by now, did you realize all the random notes were from bible study? haha (I swear Robert they pertained to your study SOMEHOW) I wasn't sure you'd remember all of them (I didn't) but they were hilarious all the same. I pray for you all the time, I miss you. I want to cry right now, but I won't cause I know you're having a great time.
Jenn- I almost wrote henn and then it reminded me of Jean. I miss my pants sister so much. Sorry this is only my first post, but I've kept you in my prayers so you've really never been far from my mind. Don't feed the fish, oh and have you heard of pete and repeat? Great guys :) AGAIN I miss you and can't wait til I see you.
Mark and Jana- I'm so glad you both get to do your puppet ministry again. And in such a beautiful place too, the pictures are fantastic. I know you're touching so many little lives in ways some may not even recognize until they're older, and I thank God that He's blessed you both with such a great opportunity. :)
So, to conclude my much too long post, I love you all and really hope this blog has the room to print all of my note. I miss you (as if that wasn't evident), and will obviously keep you guys in prayer.
In Him,
Hayley
