two weeks ago, ross took some youth group kids, along with about a dozen others from our church, on a mission trip to belize. i pouted the whole time about not being able to go, but with jonah being so small, and belize being a foreign country, it was the right decision to stay behind. jonah and i road-tripped to my parents’ for most of the week and had a fun and relaxing time with the fam.
meanwhile in belize, ross was braving the wet season – meaning rain every day and a million percent humidity, replacing tin roofs, bathing in deet bug spray, getting schooled in soccer by the local kids, and having some incredible prayer and worship times. apparently it was a great time, with lots of relationships built. both of the emails ross was able to send during the week contained phrases such as “next time when we’re here together” or “wish you were here to experience this…next time you will!” so i’m thinking i’ll get the chance sooner or later to see what it was all about for myself. i’m really looking forward to the day when we can do mission trips as a family – the experience of ross and i serving alongside jonah as he learns what it means to share his faith – can’t. wait.
and now for some pics from my week in PG – which i’m starting to realize after looking back at these, means: pictures of jonah.
and for all the pictures from ross’s trip to belize, check out those here.
