your blogs are making me cry! That part of the conversation with Flor about the city made me cry! Am i supposed to do that! Good thing im giong to find the cure for cancer! BYE i have to blow my nose!
How lucky I am that Flor came into your life and now mine. Thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful story from your trip. You are all inspiring. We love you guys.
with a hammer and nails, you can change lives :) "brick by brick, mortar upon mortar..." i hope you come across many more "flor's" on your trip. it's amazing how people we help can end up blessing us more in return.
Dreams Dear Ones, You're living my dream, only so much more boldly than I've ever allowed myself to--fear is a great deterent. To know the earth, to travel it, to see God's handy work at every turn--to meet His people, His creation. To sense the need--and then to fill that need. To touch hearts in small, but life-changing ways...that IS what IT is all about. Missing you, blessing you, loving you---more than ever. Mom
Chile Wow...people shouldn't cry when they are reading a travel blog. I hope Flor is doing well. I look forward to reading about her improved home. We miss you here but I'm glad you're out there to offer support to people like Flor. I'm sure she appreciates your company. Good luck.
I can compare to how it is in Mexico! Wish you class luck because tests are coming up! I love your blogs, i read them like every day even if they are not the newest, i feel like i am there! (dont write me back if you cant) !
OHMIGOD!!! Mandy, you mean to tell me that you are now officially over the hill?
A whole 30 years old. Sheesh, that means that you are almost half my age. Hee Hee! Love you darlin' and a very Happy Birthday wish to you.

Wow! What an absolutely beautiful experience you two were able to share. I loved the way you explained the whole trip. It is like reading a book and the pictures are amazing. Thank you for sharing with me.
the blue connection Somehow your spiritual epiphany reverberated around the globe and up to my hemisphere last night. I had a "waitmare", you know, the usual...the resteraunt is three times the actual size and it's filled to the gills and everybody wants a beer and I have the whole resteraunt. Well I went to the back to change a keg, in the huge beer cooler, but everything was different and i couldn't find any of the holding tanks or kegs and the brewer wouldn't help me even though he was right there. And then, my co-worker Alex comes in and i thought he was going to help me, but all he did was say "leave the blue room for liz."(his girlfriend) I'm not saying i know what it all means, but i was shocked today when i got your blog alert entitled "blue room". coincidence? or phychic sisters? but weird though, for sure. BTW, mandy, i think your new jacket's cool.
In The Blue Room Geez, I'm not supposed to cry from reading a blog!Don't ever do that again! Now I'm going to be up all night listening to U2 and trying to figure out my destiny. I used to be quite content in my world of consumerism and complacency. Hopefully Bono can straighten me out. Those were some beautiful words Mandy. Talk about voice! I wish all the teachers at Miles could read your blog. That's VOICE! Miss You, Martha
Wow, Mandy! That was truely amazing, mandy! I felt like I was right there staring at the glacier with you! I was painting today, and "Your Blue Room" came on my iPod while on random mode. I didn't realize what an amazing song it is. I'm so happy for you and Griff to have this opportunity. We miss you both!!
-Love, Seth
He is Omnipotent Your telling of your glacial experience reminds me of how God intends to get our attention and to speak to us--one way or another. We choose to hear Him, or not. I love how direct He was in such a magnificent place--how much more memorable it is because of that. As always, loving you both, Mom
Happy Birthday Mandy Wow, kiddo. This was one almighty page. I want to put it up on my website for everyone to see.

Happy Happy B-day! I hear it's your birthday, Amanda!!! Happy birthday! Hi, Griff. Thanks again for the catapults. The kids will use them tomorrow at the competition. Wish us luck. I hope you're having an amazing time. We miss you so much. Ana is taking good care of your kids, Amanda. I love reading your blogs. Girl, you should publish...
Take care, lisa
I had a similar Valentine's Day (sort of) Hey Amanda,
love your blog. I kind of relate to your valentine's day adventure. My boyfriend and I recently moved in together so our gift to each other for V day was a fridge and furniture from ikea. I honestly think that assembling ikea furniture should be part of some kind of marriage counseling. We have to work together to construct a dresser out of nails, slabs of wood and wierd pieces of metal along with unfathomable pictured instructions. Needless to say, anytime I felt frustrated I smiled to Jesse and thought about the big picture and not that darn furniture. Be safe, Maria
Oh wow...penguins! Hi Mandy...thanks for sending the pictures of the penguins. Now, I need Angelina's phone number because I love her and I love you too, but I want Angelina to come play cause she is really talented and you know her and you are friends with her, so I want her to come over for a play daye! (As transcribed by mom....4 year olds are known for their run-ons!) We sure loved the pics and miss you guys sooooo much...we love you!
Hi guys! I'm so glad I can experience all these things through you! Can you imagine me hiking, scuba diving or surrounded by penguins? Didn't think so. I'm glad its been such a positive experience for you guys. Mandy, now you can have carne asada when you come to my parties. I can't wait til we share a good piece of meat. Miss you guys, take care. Martha
:) john and i would have been in heaven with those penguins!!! glad to know you and griff are treking along both in your marriage and adventures!
PS - the other day i saw something silver and thought "gunmetal"...which reminded me of my "powerhouse" and getting a "long, lean, dancers body".
PPS - JUST read the story night we started dancing! what a coincidence...
I thought Patagonia was a Jacket So they named a mountain region after a clothing line huh? What will those corporations do next?
The pictures are great but your story of love is what I will remember from this entry.
Keep adventuRINGs
WS is watching you! This is SOOO great -- following you around like this! I love your blogs, Mandy! You are an amazing girl and I am proud to be your WS. Travel safe. I assume you heard about Reb's mom. Died of a heart attack a couple of days ago. Reb's on her way back from Thailand. Love you! and God bless, Bron
The Schutt Duo jouney into the unknown together, attempting to discover themselves and their world. Following their hearts, because every logical thought tells them to spend the money on a downpayment for a house!
"Turn my heart from wanting any other plan than yours." Ps 119:37
