2010 united states trip

The bags are packed and I'm now collecting my thoughts, sitting in front of the fan, waiting for 4am to arrive, so we can leave.

This trip flew! I don't feel like we got to spend very much time with the family and some friends I didn't get to see at all. We spent most of our time in service, which showed a lot of discipline on our part I must say. But that is the one sure thing about service, it makes the weeks fly by.

I have to say I'm happy to leave this summer heat. If it weren't for that, however, I'd want more time to spend with people. But overall, I am anxious to get back because we just found out our congregation in Peru is going through some hard times. I just want to be there as a positive force for them.

So take a look at some of the things we've done! I didn't take a lot of pictures this trip. :(

The first morning we woke up in WV I had slept sooo peacefully! I loved waking up to the sound of the leaves blowing and the birds chirping.

I loved the summer rain! This is one of Mom's flowers.

This is our nephew and new favorite little boy, Jaden!

Congrats to Chris and Trish!

Saturday morning service...

Missy had a nice little party with tacos and a swimming pool! Need I say more?

When we went to the convention in Roanoke we got to see Grandma Berry, and Jake and Em came one day so we and Grandma could see Jaden again!

Amazing convention in English! I'm looking forward to getting it again in Peru.

I got to meet one of Forrest's cousins, Tony, and his family. They had us over to the lake house after the convention for lake fun and hot dogs and hamburgers! What a nice family.
