My Letter to Future Goers
Dear future goer, My two years in Mexico were the best two years of my life. This may sound like an exaggeration, but it in no ways is. They were also the most challenging two years, and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you're anything like me, right now you are a bundle of nerves. Both nervous and excited or what's to come. The confident assurance that this is where you’re being called too, wherever that is, comes with waves of uncertainty in the pit of your stomach. This kind of decision comes with all sorts of emotions. I only have one suggestion: FEEL THEM. As… Read more >>
Coming Back
Now that I’ve been home for a couple of days, I thought I’d sit down and write a quick update about coming home. Here’s what was going on before coming back: The girls were on summer break in the refuge, so that meant a little bit more of a relaxed schedule as far as my workshops and classes goes.

As you may also know, I’m planning to come back to the states in a couple of months for good.… Read more >>
Honduras 2018
If you didn't know, I just got back from participating in a missions trip to Honduras over Holy Week! Honduras 2018 was a ride. Honestly going into it, I wasn’t really feeling that prepared and didn’t know what to expect from the trip. We had a plan, I had written my sermons, we had prayed a lot as a team and individually but I felt like I was kinda along for the ride. Needless to say, God worked in unexpected ways, as he tends to do when you don’t know what expectations to put on him. First off, Honduras is a beautiful country. We were in part of the country that is in a valley and… Read more >>
