PE: "She(ena)has to think of the people she loves enough to say 'hi' to"
SHEENA: "Hi Mom, and the Hollands...[after prompting]oh and Steven and Pamela". I love you too!


COURTNEY LIEN. You list was longer, and that probably makes me feel less loved. And then, when you said "I FORGOT!" you even got my hopes up. No more green tea vibes for you.

I guess I'll keep praying for you all (kidding, of course. God says to love and pray for even those that don't love us.)

it looks like you guys are having so much fun! i'm glad to know that the making fun of courtney's laugh did not stop in PA or jamaica ;)

courtney- i missed you tonight at church! becca, esha, and i made fun of your clap in your honor ;) and i have some super exciting news to tell you when you get home!!

africa team- you guys are constantly in my mind and i'm checking this blog like it's my job... i was on here even while we were in a lockdown during school today :) remember this verse (one of my favorites); 1 timothy 4:12 "do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but make a way for the believers in speech, life, love, faith, and in purity."
i love you all and i'm so excited to hear about what god has in store for the next week!

I was up really late the one night and was thinking 'aw they are probably on dune 7 right now' . well i'm glad to see things are going good and you're just beginning to unfold what God has in store for you. go team~
i love youuuuu

Sheena, Sara watched this and said, "haha, she said Luke and Sara." how funny. I have to say: Heck NO to climbing that hill thing. I'm having a hard time breathing just from watching you guys do it. But, it looks like you're having LOADS of fun and it makes my heart smile. Funny what obedience to God can do huh? xxoo

OK...Love the video! That's so much fun!

PE - I'm pretty sure I would've paid money to see you flip on the sand dunes. But seeing the wound on flip will just have to do me for now :)

Court - Thanks for the shout out from Dune 7! Ur so pretty!

Brenda - You rock my world! Love you so much and miss you. Was at church last night wishing you were there for me to hug. Hope you're having a great time!

Ray - P Todd took care of the boys last night. Looks like he (and they) survived!

Uno - U just know...prayin for you...and hey, don't embarrass yourself on the volleyball court...make me proud!

Dos - Hope ur enjoyin yourself...have fun with those dramas! Do you still snore?

Tres - Just didn't want to leave you out...:) It's fun to have three Chrises!

Hello everyone else. Have to tell you this verse: Jesus did many things...if every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written (John 21:25). I love that verse because we serve a God that is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and He's still doing amazing things. Remember that as you minister...can't wait to see what He'll do through each of you!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeanette

Chris! YOU are in my heart and on my mind 24/7 ~ Praying for open hearts and unending energy for you and your team and those you are there to reach- throughout your busy days ~ praying for you all to stay well!

I love checking this everyday to see what you're doing ~ and to see what God is doing through you!

Hope the Awaken Sea Salt Scrub is working out for you ~ missed it bad in Cancun last night - we got eaten alive after dark!

Stay well ~ miss you and praying for God's blessings for you!

Hi Nick,
We have been checking your blog daily, what awesome pictures! I guess you guys were getting all your playing done before all the hard work, if anything like Guatemala, I know you are putting in the long hours.
Your mom thanked everyone for their prayers and financial support for your trip during Sunday service. She only cried a little, well actually a lot :). Everyone is missing you tons and you are also making us all very proud. Praying for you and the rest of the team!

I hope you didn't eat too much sand on your way up the dune...it looked like an epic climb. You better be taking TONS of video cause I want to see Africa through your eyes when you get back. I can't wait to see pics of your team with the kids. Give them hugs from us back in Tennessee. Be safe and have an awesome trip!!!

Matthew 11:28-30

I mean, if that were true I woulda NEVER told you over a blog like this.
