Please keep the team in your prayers as many of them travel for international missions for the first time. I know it will be an amazing, rewarding, and truly humbling experience.  I hope that through Chad's experience, my life might be changed as well.

Chad doesn't say much on Facebook, but his post today brought tears to my eyes, so I want to share it here as well.

Prayers appreciated for myself, Nate Harrison, Rusty Blake, and the rest of our mission team as we embark tomorrow morning for a trip to Honduras! While it is a big sacrifice for me to miss 2 of my favorite weekends of the year and time away from my family, it's a minimal sacrifice compared to the help we will be providing for families to provide a roof over their heads! I'm excited for this humbling and rewarding experience and to see how God works thru our lives this week in La Ceiba! — with Nate Harrison and Rusty Blake.

It will be an interesting week here at home as well.  It's baseball season and Payton's practices officially started today.  I am hopeful that Owen's practice will start next week.  Next Tuesday, Payton will celebrate his birthday!  We have a few birthday parties to fill our Saturdays, Breakfast with Mom at Payton's school tomorrow, and school picture day next week.  While Chad is serving in La Ceiba, I feel like I'm serving on my own mission field at home.  Each day, I hope I can remember that God wouldn't have sent Chad on such an important trip if he didn't think I could handle these three boys at home.

Prayers for Chad, Rusty, Nate and the rest of the team are greatly appreciated.

Prayers for Mommy at home - specifically for patience, peace and organization - are also appreciated!

Trying to learn not to pray for material things, but wouldn't it be awesome if we sold our house this week too?!

Prayers appreciated....all around.  My greatest hope is that Chad is truly blessed as he blesses others....blessed to be a blessing.
