Hi, you guys!
A friend of ours just put together this video of our Mexico trip for our "reunion party" last night. All fifty of us (kids included!) had dinner together and shared our favorite stories from the trip.
The video begins with the children's Christmas party, then cuts to their Sunday worship service (which was so different from our home church- very refreshing), and then begins again as we're loading up the shoe boxes and ready to caravan down to Mexico.
There is a rockin' song by Hillsong playing during the video, Hosanna in the Highest. Sometimes I have trouble keeping my focus, so I think it's a good thing I can't get the lyrics out of my head. I decided to make them my prayer today.
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

Oh and getting stuck in mud, that was a memory in and of itself.
Speechless.
That video is a sermon all on its own.
Thank you for sharing!!
What an amazing life-changing trip this was. Loved the video.
Your video reminds me so much of the smiling faced children I see in Guatemala!! I am praying that one day God will lead me beyond Guatemala to many parts of the world!! I pray for these children each day and they will always be held in my heart!!! You did an AWESOME thing!! HUGS!

You know I love you 'Princess'! Awesome video and I've been looking for a silly bread recipe for days now.... lol :)
As a 'PS' favor, can you share the following link for me? With your circle of influence I know we can help. After yesterday's disaster in haiti we are left wondering about family and friends. Please pray with us and share with who you can!
