While on this journey, we have met some incredible people in each country.
Quite honestly, it is the people in the countries that make the experience for us.
In Bolivia we met Maxima. She was one of the most hillarious, hard working, joyful people I have ever met in my entire life. Just last month we learned she passed away.
Only yesterday I found out that my sweet baby, Jacob, from Swaziland passed away suddenly.
I don’t know if you realize how much I loved this baby, but if adoption was legal for American’s in Swaziland and we were not currently still traveling, he would have been our baby.
(I love this picture with his little toe sticking out)
Not sure why two deaths have happened to those we have met along this journey, to people who have influenced our lives in HUGE ways.
It does make me want to continue to live my life in ways that influence others- for the Kingdom.
To be remembered for JOY not sorrow.
For LAUGHTER not anger.
For LOVE not hate.
