Papalote, Mexico

Addie and dad just returned from a missions trip to Papalote Mexico where they spent spring break working and serving the people of this very rural area... the stories are amazing and the pictures are wonderful... I hope to get some posted soon... lots on my facebook page already... but this morning video was posted. So hopefully if you aren't on facebook you can see some of the video for now... check it out Papalote, Mexico 2010.

Makes you think...

no trip

Well wouldn't you know as soon as I post that Addie is going on the missions trip, I get a call. The group is too large and they are actually turning people away (from this specific trip). The office called to see if Addie would give up her spot so that another doctor could go. How could we say NO? We are so glad that the trip is full, that so many are willing to go, to help... yet Addie is sad. I have no doubt that there will be others for her. That is just her. It is in her heart even at such a young age. So for now, we wait.

FAME mission

dont know if I am ready, but...

Addie has travelled with us to both China and EThiopia when we adopted our littles. While we were in Africa she stated that she would be back on a missions trip. Well, she is headed out on a missions trip but instead of Africa they are headed to Haiti. She is going with her best friends family and 2 doctors from our church. It will be a medical missions trip and Addie hopes to be able to help out in the clinic as well as helping out with the malnutrition feeding clinic. I will be posting more info soon- she will be gone October 23-31. She is busy trying to raise funds, as she wants to pay for it all on her own... pretty proud of that kid. She came to me regarding the trip- said she felt it in her heart, it is what she needs to do... not sure if the mom in me is ready, but we are so excited for her.
