As we close out into another Hump Day evening, I wanted to challenge you with a quote from Elle Everyday and inspire you with a picture quote. Please be in prayer for us as well. We're making preparations to leave for South Dakota in the next several weeks, and we're still not feeling fully refreshed …

Pray, Give, or Go.
I once heard about a saying a missionary said. This missionary, Reuben Larson, was on a speaking tour of America. His message was to get more involved in missions, and his slogan was Pray, Give, or Go. This sounds correct, and better yet, very inspiring.

The Nicaragua Series: Chikungunya
Chikungunya. You've probably never heard of it. Let me tell you, I never had either. Until a little over a month ago.

Back in Ft. Lauderdale!
We have safely made our way to America! Who knew so many people spoke English?!?!? We arrived in Fort Lauderdale about two hours ago on our delayed flight from Managua, which left at 3-something a.m. instead of 1-something. Soooo, we only have five or six more hours until our flight to Atlanta departs at 4-something …
That. Was. Not. Fun.
I just had to say some of the worst good-byes in my life - and they were all piled up on top of one another. So, we've been saying good-bye for about a week now to various people, but the worst ones were the dearest ones. One of our very hard good-byes was yesterday afternoon. …
