Just being sentimental!


That's a picture of the kids traveling on the Rio Dulce on our way to Livingston.

Ok - so I'm starting to get sad. The excitement for our move is still there but it is being taken over by a sadness to leave all of you. It has finally hit me! I just wanted to send out a note saying thanks to everyone.

Nathan and I have both been blessed with great families. I am so grateful for the love and support they give us.

We have also been blessed with fantastic friends who are like family to us. I can't even think about it without wanting to cry!

You all have to keep in touch and keep praying for us. Please pray that we will be able to find and help many people and make an impact in their lives. Pray for our safety and happiness and please, please please pray that I will be blessed to learn the language really fast!!!!

We love you guys!

  5. Ok- Melody, the closer it gets, the more sad I get too! Last night was so fun with Denise and you- "old times" I can't believe its right around the corner-but you will have a blast and you know its the right decision! We are just hoping its still temporary! We will always be praying for your safety and I'm sure the language will come quick!
    miss you already!

  6. Sad? Okay, maybe a little, but, think about the excitment, the discovery, the opportunity...wow. And by the way, are you taking reservations for guests? Our 15th wedding anniversary is in a few years and ya'll beat a cruise anyday...
