Heading home from Belize & Goodbyes

Our 6 months came fast. It was so hard to say our goodbyes. So many wonderful relationships and friends.. sisters, brothers. It was a long 6 months- many heartbreaks and trials.. but huge blessings, joy and miracles too! Thank you so much brother Milton for taking care of our home. You are such a blessing! We can't wait to see our Belizean brothers and sisters again someday! May our Lord Jesus continue to deepen our Faith in Him and  strengthen our walk with him and may we all understand and experience that exchanged life! Love you all!




Saying goodbye is never easy!

Grant, Edwin, Amuel and Jared

Grant & Edwin

We love you Fehrs!
One last look at our house!

In the van on the way to the airport. We were so blessed that 2 other carloads of people were following behind also to see us off! The Lord has blessed us with such sweet friends and brethren!
SO many tears and hugs!



Saying goodbye to Stephanie King

Waving Goodbye! We see you guys up there!

Grant, flying in style

Poor Mandy got the flu on the way home. It was a terrible flu.. Grady, the three younger kids and I had already gotten it the week before.. we had hoped no one would get sick in flight. But poor Mandy! Sweet girl, never complained. We had been delayed 5 days from our original flight because of the hurricane which hit Houston-our 1st original stop. We were able to fly out to Miami instead.. which just a week or two after arriving home also suffered a hurricane!

Last leg, boarding the puddle jumper in San Francisco heading to Eugene

Getting our luggage!

And yay!! After 2 months we got to reunite with Ryan, who picked us up from the airport. USA here we are again! Belize, we love, miss & will see you again someday!
