Okay today was one of the hottest days I have experienced in Trinidad - ever! It was Hot! But on to what is happening..
Today we did orientation with the team and then took them on a Cultural Tour to the oldest and newest Hindu Temples on the island. They will shocked to […]

So I made it to Trinidad- two flights later and 10 hours of flying- but I made it in one piece and was greeeted like family-  which it is like coming home when I come here.  Tonight was youth night so the compound was alive with all the family’s of the church so I was […]

Packing
So its the final say, I must get packed- and this is what I look like trying to get everything you “might” need for 24 young people who are going to a country where their stomachs are not used to that much curry. So I have way more than I would take for […]

So I am two days away from leaving for Trinidad and I decide I NEED to BAKE! There is just something in me sometimes that say BAKE- so I do. I know this is strange- but it happens to me often!
I decide since I am going to Trinidad and my youngest daughter, […]

For you Gwen-

Yes it is raining here and so it made me think of Trinidad as it rains there most everyday for like five minutes. This is one of my favorite “tourist” spots when in Trinidad/Tobago. Even with a storm brewing if you look close you can see a bean of light trying to work […]

Boy is it Hot!

Okay maybe this is a little extreme, but it is hot out there.  I think God is getting me primed up for our mission trip to Trinidad in two weeks-  because it is hotter there than it is here.  Either way I seem to be keeping myself in all the place that […]

Today has been an awesome day-  it is sunny out and the birds are talking outside my window and I have spent the entire day in the Word and with God- minus a phone call or two.
It felt so good to just be in the Word with no interuptions and to see what God had […]

Okay what a weekend! I think I am losing my mind but in reality I am just losing another child to college. It hit me yesterday for the first time I think that Drew is leaving in four weeks- I was teary all day- and then there are all kinds of […]
