Happenings of late

So I would like to share some of what has been going on . From the 21st to 28th of July I took a week-long trip to the states to see two of my friends get married. My long-time good friend, Lauren (Sanders) Johnston, from school got married Sat. the 26th! It was a blast to be a part of her wedding because she is so much fun! She is always smiling and really sweet and because of that she has a ton of friends. I was blessed to be her Maid of Honor and really enjoyed sharing in her special day! The other friend, Kielle (Holt) Smith, I have known for a while, but we really didn't become friends until a few years back. Her wedding was the following day on Sun. the 27th. She is really sweet and has a desire to please God! Her wedding was beautiful and I'm glad I was able to be there! While I was there I also got to see some of my grandparents, a lot of good friends from high school, visit my home-church, and visit some of my supporters and friends. I really enjoyed my week there even though is was so short.

On the 28th of July my dad traveled back with me to Leon to visit where I live and work serving God with my team in Leon, GTO, MX. He had nearly two weeks here and it was cool for him to see and experience for himself this part of the world. And now for the pictures!

Kielle and her husband, Chris Smith, right after the ceremony!



Yes, I know this is gross, but it's an authentic part of the experience of a market in Mexico!



Hahaha!



My dad helping little kids at a VBS we had at the church. It was a really good turnout and a lot of kids from the children's home we work with got to come too! It was cool seeing my dad help out even though the language barrier is there!



Some kids at the VBS!

I hope y'all are having a great week!
