Beca 2 Brazil

       Well it’s never boring, that’s for sure! There is always something happening or going on to make this deputation thing exciting and thrilling! We are *still* enjoying the wonderful warm weather down in Florida. I will be making my way up north(north-er) on Monday. My mom flew down to spend the weekend with me and help me make the 17 hour drive next week back to Maryland. I am so excited to get to spend some time with her these few days!       Yesterday we were driving from eastern Florida to south-west   Florida. I had a meeting on the East coast Wednesday night. We were taking our time, it was just a 4 hour drive so I wasn’t super pressed for time or anything. We pulled off the highway to eat lunch and as we were leaving the restaurant, Rays front bumper just about fell off! I had checked to be sure I wasn’t up on the curb, and both of us are sure I didn't hit anything yesterday, but there it was, hanging on by a few clips. Last week ...

Everything went according to plan, I did not experience any travel ‘hiccups.’ I am excited to get back though and jump back into the swing of deputation (and see Ray. <3)  Most of my time in the DR on this trip, I spent with the Jordan family. Pastor Ben Jordan was my pastor for most of my teen years and his been such Godly influence in my life all these years. It was such an encouragement to me to get to spend time with their family on this trip!  During my time in the DR, I had the opportunity to sit and talk to Mrs Joy Wesson. Mrs Joy is most of the reason I ever got involved in Deaf ministry at all, she really has helped me so much throughout the years and I loved getting to sit and talk with her. She currently has...

 Hello friends!       It has been an awesome start to my trip here in the Dominican Republic. I spent my first few days in the capital, Santo Domingo, before heading up to the Northern part of the country, Nagua. I had the opportunity to have a small part of the 5th anniversary service for the “Iglesia Bautista Costa del Norte,” which is the church my family started while we were on the mission field. It was such a personal blessing to me to be present during their special service. My parents also were able to be there and have a part in it.  (There is a video linked on my FB page if you would like to see some footage from the day)      Greyson 2018 Greyson 2023      On Saturday, while we were out visiting in preparation for the service, I ran across one of my old bus kids! He recognized me from a distance and came running to give me the biggest hug, smiling so big. It was such a sweet moment for me.       I...
