Hey everyone! This will be our last stateside blog post. It’s unbelievable how quickly this last year has gone. We’re overwhelmed and encouraged by what God has taught us this last year.

Hey everyone! It’s crazy to think that in just 33 days we’ll be in a completely different country experiencing a completely different way of life. What a journey this has been for our family!
