Finishing strong!

It's time for another post, and I don't even know where to begin! Life moves quickly here. Not to mention a Tsunami thrown in the mix! Next week my parents arrive for spring break, and we are all giddy with excitement. It'll be amazing to show them the ins and outs of what we've been up to for the last 3 months. Lecture phase is coming to a quick close, and we are preparing for an incredible outreach trip! We have two main locations of focus- Texas and Hawaii! We're traveling with another family and two incredible young gals, and will be working together to make an impact around the Houston and Galviston areas as well as locally, here on the big island! More details to come, I promise. In the meantime, we are working on finishing strong!!
We have been focusing, among many other things, on our health since we arrived here. Jordan has lost a whopping 20 pounds! Wow! We are eating as healthy as we can, exercising, and sweating constantly (unintentionally... it's just so darn hot here.) I've started working out with an amazing gal who goes by Lu. She is a crossfit trainer at home, but left her gym to come join YWAM! The work outs are crazy, but pretty short, and the other gals are as encouraging as can be- so I'm excited to go. That's a big deal. I even bought a pair or cute shorts. Pink ones. Oh yeah.

The girls continue to thrive. They each have so many friends, and know lots of people on campus. It's so fun to walk around and listen to Raegan, "Hi John! Hey Grace! Shiloh, what'cha doing? Hi Ezekiel!" She is a confident, loving little lady with an amazing heart for others. Anabelle also has her favorites, and is so content to spend time in the arms of others, not just mom, which makes our snuggle time that much more special! My girls are flexible, thankful, and tan! We have learned to sleep in one room, with no privacy, and have grown much closer together. Sisters have become friends, and they share a mutual affection toward one another that is perfect and precious.

It's been a crazy 3 months.
Our life has been flipped upside down.
What's next!?
