my favorite 7 year old...




I have had such a great time in Rhode Island. I am SO blessed to have an amazing extended family. Today is my last day of this snowy, cold weather...I leave tomorrow for Tanzania! I appreciate everyones encouragement, support, and prayers. We were able to fill up two of those blue containers with lots of fun things for the kids and the missionaries over there!

My aunt and uncle and their two children went to Tanzania this time last year. Cole, was extremely jealous that I was going to the Emmanuel Center without him. Hardly a day goes by that Cole does not talk about going to Africa or those kids... he even tried to sneak into my luggage. :) We were joking with him for about a week before we realized that he thought we were serious. His little heart was so sad when Chris had to explain to him that he could not ride in my luggage. I am convinced if we were to discover Martians on Mars tomorrow...Cole would be on the next space ship ride to be the first missionary there. :) I love his special heart.

You're lucky that you get to go to Africa. I have photographs on my two blogs from my trip to Kenya.

Enjoy your trip!

Yes, Cole is an amazing kid, as is his awesome brother Aaron.
