Pelicans!

Staff meeting & training in Duluth. I love our staff! Amazing people! GO PELICANS!!

Better late than never. I had absolutely no time to update my blog this summer in Belize. It was crazy busy!

Anyway, started off the spring in Belize, with 2 trips, one in Bermudian Landing & the other in my favorite village, Hattieville. Got to serve with Pam Dyer, who is from Hattieville, who is becoming one of my good friends! She brings so much energy to the church! It was an amazing week in Hattieville...lives were forever changed!

Moving through the spring, I went to the twin cities & Duluth in Minnesota for meetings & training for the upcoming trips in the summer in Belize & Jamaica! I was able to spend the night with Megan, which was SO great seeing her! I miss her dearly.

Amy & I took a vacation to Seattle & Vancouver. She has family that lives right outside Seattle so we stayed with them & then spent 2 nights in Vancouver. I loved both Seattle & Vancouver!! So beautiful! We took ferries, went hiking, Deception Pass, Gastown, Pike Place & they were having an International Cheese so they had over 200 kinds of cheese...yummy!, ate some of the BEST sushi ever, the undergroup old

Jordan's Grad Party

Went out with the girls in Dallas to celebrate Jordan's graduation from college.

Seattle. And in Vancouver we walked a ton, went to Stanley Park, ate at a different kind of ethnic restaurant for each meal, stayed in a creepy hotel. I could MOVE to Seattle or Vancouver! I loved the mountains, the green vegetation, cosmopolitan, SO international!, all different kinds of languages & people!, the water/lakes/ocean! Amy, let me know if I left anything out!

Left for Houston the same day I got back. Spent time with my cousin, Cody, Aunt Lyn, Uncle KD, and my dad & bro. Good times.

Finished off the spring by doing my first triathlon! Oh my gosh I thought I was going to die! I did it with my cousin-in-law, Pam, in Austin, TX. It was the Danskin tri & there were 3000 females! The swimming was the worst, I really didn't think I would make it! It was open water so picture all these women in the water...there were legs & arms everywhere...kicking & hitting you while you swam! Once I FINALLY got through the swimming the rest was awesome! I REALLY love biking now! Check out my photos from the race!

Stay tuned for my blog of my summer in Belize. Incredible!

Best friends at the park

The ducks surrounded us! At first it was funny, then it started to get a bit weird. We were like, ok, go away now.

Please keep the people in Belize & Jamaica in your prayers! I left just before the hurricane hit. We currently have 2 teams in Belize right now. They've had to abandon their ministry sites & move inland. They will start helping with hurricane relief work. Hurricane Dean has already done so much damage to Mexico, Jamaica & Belize. Here's an article on one of our teams there right now.
