Thank you for always being supportive and encouraging my missions dreams.
Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on when I freak out about how much money I need to raise, that I will be gone for almost a year, or that I will miss my nephew’s first year of life.
Thank you for sending me pictures and little notes to keep me involved in your lives even though I am thousands of miles away.
Thank you for always praying for me. Even when you don’t know what to pray for.
Thank you for being willing to say goodbye to your youngest because you know it is what the Lord wants.
Thank you for coming to Ecuador for Parent Vision Trip and feeding my missions fire that was burning out.
Thank you for having grace and patience when I was distracted by details of things to come while you were visiting.
Thank you for saying YES to this adventure and allowing the Lord to change you, too.

A million thank yous for being present in my life and everything you have done to encourage me. I couldn’t be in this journey without you guys and everything you do. I pray the Lord continues to reveal himself to you in new ways and that you let him. Thank you for being the first ones to introduce Him to me at such a young age. It is because of those moments that I am where I am now.
