We've bought our tickets. So have Pam and Chris, my in-laws. The average temperature at our destination will be a high in the triple digits. We still need to get a few shots. And some luggage. But we are pumped--anxious to see how God will use us and how He will change us.
We are going to Honduras this summer-- to the Casa de Roc--an orphanage for kids there who are classified as "unadoptable." And yes, the girls are coming too. We will stay for two weeks, then return and go immediately to Cody and Laura's wedding in Des Moines.
We are excited to expose our kids to another world, another culture. As a family we want to serve the Lord, to serve others, and to be wise but not fearful about taking risks to help others. Some people are excited for us. Others worried. Honestly, the opportunity is more exciting to us and outweighs any risks. I hope the trip challenges us and changes us at our cores. I hope all four of us, even little Kassy can be a blessing to the orphans and the family that loves them. I hope this trip is the beginning of a long friendship where we can pray for, support and visit these new friends again and again.
And if you feel so moved, we would appreciate your prayers.

praying absolutely!! It will be an adventure you won't forget!
How wonderful. I'm excited about your trip and know you will have an amazing time both teaching and learning.
A serious investment in mosquito repellent might be a good idea, though.
how cool. I am so excited for you all. What a great family experience!
Sounds amazing! I can't wait to hear how it goes! I'm so glad you decided to go for it! I know God will work in your family and in the lives of the people with whom you'll work.
Awesome. We will be praying for you and your family. I know you have a big heart with lots of love to go around. Can't wait to see pictures, too.
