josh's trip

We went to our friends Josh & Carrie's house for dinner on Tuesday and it was so fun to watch their little boy Collin (who is a year and a half) share his toys with Audrie. We also got to hear all about Josh's recent mission trip to Africa and it was really touching to hear him talk about the heartache he has now for these people. He had so many emotional photos and stories about the trip and the orphanage he was helping to design and the people that were led to know Christ... it really was amazing to hear about. Here are a couple photos Carrie had emailed a few weeks ago that Josh took...

Going on a mission trip is something I've always wanted to experience especially the past year or two- it's really been on my heart and I hope it's something God has for my future. I did see this quote the other day and I put it on my classroom wall because it really stuck in my mind and I thought it would give my students something to read while they are daydreaming during my class...
"If you want to be happy for an hour... go watch TV.
If you want to be happy for a day... go to an amusement park.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime... go out and help others."
