Manthania is getting so big

So thank you to all of you who prayed for me last week. It was another absolutly amazing experience. Imagine that me having a good time in Haiti. Haha. It was a whole different dynamic than the other trips I have been on. Being with my peers is wonderful especially when they are as into God as these people were. I really enjoyed meeting everyone especially my friends from California (which happens to be the best place ever because they have in and outs) haha. Well anyway the week surpassed all expecations and God was ever present. I am so glad God had it in his will to let me go last week. He had so many things to tach me and I am so glad that he choose the way he did to teach me. I am also glad that he worked in the lives of the people with me. God is amazing!

I hope you love the pictures there are many many more to come.

5 Days!!

So I arrive in Haiti this Sunday. I can't believe it is finally time to go back. I cannot wait to walk in the doors of Three Angels and see all the kids staring up at me. I can't wait for all the kisses and hugs that I will get and I cannot wait to be in the place that makes me the happiest.

In five days I will be back home, I will be in the place I know God wants me to be, and with the children I know he wants me to love. God is always working and I cannot wait to see what he has in store from me next week and what I can do to show Gods love to the people of Haiti.

Please God bless the trip that I will soon be taking. Let your spirit start working now in the lives of those going. Help us to accomplish everything and do it all for you. Prepare the hearts of the children and staff of Three Angels and also our heart so that our lives can be impacted in the best way possible. Mostly I just ask that your will be done on our trip. Thank you for the times that I have already been to see these amazing children and thank you for this trip too. Thank you for my call to be a missionary and the many things you have planned for me. I give this trip and all I do on it to you and your glory.

To my PAPA

My Papa Troy. The dad that I have and everyone else wants. I am so happy that God chose me and my four sisters and brothers to be yours. I love that you always encourage me and help me reach my goals. I love how all my friends ar jealous because I got a Dad who will always be a kid deep inside. This time last year you had three amazing children even though we sometimes take you forgranted. Now you have 5 kids. Can you believe how much our family is grown.

By this time next year you will have 5 kids who will forget to buy you fathers days instead of just three. haha. Like I said I could have never ask for a better Daddy. You have been there when I was happy, when won swim races, when the marching band had a good show, when I excelled in childrens quizzing. You have also been there when I was sick, when my heart has been broken, and when I was mad at my friends. Even when we would fight I knew deep down inside that you loved me. These past 19 years you have watched me drow from a little bitty girl that wanted to me the president, to a stubborn teenager that was only care was what I was going to do on friday night, to a young adult who wants to be a missionary. And know that I am grown up God decided that you get the chance to change to more lives. You know get watch Manthania and Isaac grow up. You get to teach them to ride a bike. You get to sing with Manthania and read her stories before she goes to bed. You get to teach Isaac to play baseball, and to drive a car.

Though Manthania and Isaac may not know it yet they have been blessed with the best Papa that anyone could ask for.

To our Papa Troy, we love you and cannot wait until we will all be here together and to share this Day together. Love you Always and Forever, Bethany, Alyssa, Kaleb, Manthania, and Isaac.

One in Three Meanings

There are no shortcuts to anyplace worth going. -Beverly Sills

Life is too short
Grudes are a waste of perfect happiness
Laugh when you can
Apoligize when you should
And let go of what you can't change
Love deeply and forgive quickly
take chances, give everything
And have no regrets
Life is to short to be unhappy
You have to take the good with the bad
Smile when you're sad
Love what you got and
Always remember what you had
Always forgive and never forget
Learn from your mistakes but never regret
People change, and things go wrong
But always remember life goes on!!!

Challenge yourself to watch us you go about your day. Don't take forgranted the little blessings that God provides for us everyday.
