This week Andrew, Bjørn and I are heading down to Mexico (actually, Bjørn and I are headed down today, and Andrew comes on Thursday!). No, it’s not a vacation… No, we will not be at (or anywhere near, for that matter!) the beach… No, we are not going down to build a house! :o)
What are we doing then? Well, we are going on a missions trip with a bunch of teens! We will be doing VBS with the kids every day, we will be working on a building project for the community, we will be doing bible studies, crafts and cooking lessons with the women, and we will be having a youth outreach evening! We are so excited!!
Andrew has been to Mexico twice before, I have been about 12 times, and this will (obviously) be Bjørn’s first time! Having gone on this trip for so many years, and really growing up with these people, I always feel like part of me is ‘going home’, and I know Andrew already feels the same way. There’s just something about this kind of experience that grabs your heart and doesn’t ever seem to let go…
Can I just tell you how excited I am to see these people that I love… and to hug on these beautiful girls!
Oh, and I will be posting while I’m gone (ah, the lovely “scheduled posting” feature!), but obviously there won’t be many recipes coming up. I hope to learn some great recipes down there to share with you when I get back, though! :o) I can’t wait to tell you all about our trip!!
