Can I get out now?
Hello gorgeous!Our seasoned missionary friend says that going home for a vacation is not a real vacation--you still need a time for rest for your family. True, true. I thought we would not have time for that. But, as usual, God always gives us what we need.
We were asked to watch the ministry base while everyone else went on the staff retreat to the coast. At first this seemed like a chore--feed the turtles and the dogs, and turn on some lights every once in a while. It turned out to be the exact "vacation" we needed. We had time to reflect, connect, rest, laugh, play, sleep, listen, learn, soak, and pray. Thank you, Lord for this awesome time.
Memories were created that I'll enjoy forever! One time, the kids came running up the hill frantic with news that one of the pigs was loose. We had a fun time catching it and leading it back with an extention cord. Of course, the power going out created boundless non-movie-watching fun. The kids and I started reading an exciting book, which we're totally in to. Smith's birthday presents have been literally a bag of fun. We got to use this groovy candelabra for dinner every night (thanks Cammi!), and flashlights! It's been a smashing vacation. And we haven't even left the base.
