So many delicious moments…

food and fellowship and fun.

I LOVE MY LIFE!

20ish people stuffed in a van

on the way home from the beach

We almost didn’t make it

(but we did)

it was dark and rainy

the van was overheating

we had to get out and walk

Katie and I pulled down our pants to pee

Men drove by

We tried to cover ourselves

We almost fell over

We laughed

(One of the best moments yet)

In the van Julie and I talked about

Family and forgiveness

While the other girls sang.

When we got back

We sat around the table

Eating eggs and beans and tortillas

as we laughed over worst date stories

Macgregor, Caitlin and I walked to get snacks

(gummies and McFlurries)

We watched Dan in Real Life as it rained

And that is just a snippet

into my life yesterday.

(Don’t forget sitting in hammocks on the beach or the feast we had…I felt like a kid again, like that day we went to the water park in the Philippines.)

Don’t forget

Worship karaoke

Walking to the peak to watch dry lightning

With Mark and Kate

We sat in silence

for SO LONG

and I loved every second.

Talking with those ladies at the dump

laughing with them

Dancing at church

Crepes and chai

Worship in the hallway – POWERFUL

Eating oranges with children at the orphanage (one of them fell asleep on my lap)

Teaching the Adam/Eve skit

Empanadas for dinner

Nearly empty bus ride to Guat. City

back to Casa Rustica

and now,

precious alone time.
