Honduras 🇭🇳 2019 Drew's 1st Mission Trip!!

Honduras
From the eyes of our 14 year old, Drew....
A trip we've been praying for him to one day experience.
To see Jesus at work. To know how to love and serve Him with his whole heart.
 Love God. 

 Love Others.



 Love Life. A wonderful experience.
Drew's Reflection: (in his own words)
  • I felt I got to know my dad in a deeper way.
  • I loved the mission team and if I were to design my own mission trip team I would choose this one all over again. 
  • I could have served another week if we would have moved to a new location to drill another well.
  • The kids coming in trucks and climbing over a big fence to see us each day was really interesting and unique. 
  • Don't drink the orange bubbly drink they serve at breakfast, made me puke the 1st day 15 times in like 10 minutes!
  • I loved the night Michelle and I ate a frozen pizza together, I was soooo sick of rice and beans.
  • I loved the quality time with my team, no one was on their phones and we got to know one another really well.
  • I'd love my friend Brady and his mom to come next time. 
  • I enjoyed the constant moving and on the go each day.
  • I want to learn Spanish really good now! I'm going to take it seriously in high school so I can better communicate next time. 
  • Definitely pack more pants. 
  • Derek had the most servant heart out of the whole group this week. Neat for me to see. 
  •  I enjoyed getting to know Nugget, one of our lead guys that lives in Honduras. 
  • I like traveling.
  • I bought candy for my friends to try, a machete knife for $6, a magnet for mom for her refrigerator, and spin tops for my brothers. 
  • My team called me "Nacho" all week because I ate lots of chips and dip.
  • Most interesting thing was guys carrying live pigs on their laps riding motorcycles.
  • I loved being by the ocean and swimming.
I am so thankful for this experience but worry a bit being back home and getting back into my busy school and sports routine. Prayers are appreciated. Can you believe I will be in high school next year? Drew.

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
