I thought it painted a good picture of what God is doing in the mentoring program right now! EXCITING STUFF :)<br />Mentoring:<br />Our mentoring program is blowing up! We have had to move locations and split into two time slots. Today at 3, we had 13 kids and at 5 we had another 9. We are now meeting at a local church where I will be speaking this sunday to try and raise financial support as well as volunteers to help us mentor/tutor. As of now we are meeting Tuesday's and Thursday's at 3 and 5. We tutor in reading, writing and math then hang out for a bit and eat bologne sandwiches. It is an awesome opportunity to love these kids, give them a meal that they can depend on, encourage them, teach them and pray with them. The Lord is blessing this ministry emensly. Please continue to pray for us and all the boys we work with throughout the week. Most of them lack supervision, beg for their food and are surrounded on a daily basis with drugs and violence. Brandon is a 17 year old boy who just got out of jail. He was in jail for 5 months for stealing a cell phone (jail here is not pleasant). He does not know his alphabet and WILL become a drug dealer or continue his criminal activity if nothing is done. As I was sitting with him today helping him learn to read an analog clock, I realized the importance of what God has brought before us. These kids are at the bottom in this culture and do not have much of a chance to climb up. They don't know any other way and they won't unless someone shows them. Brandon has come both days this week and I am excited to see the way God uses our time together to open him up and heal the dark places in his life. I love serving these kids and I love being with them. They are in all honesty some of the most fun people I know. I feel blessed to be their friends. Thank you for your prayers.erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072098066316352828.post-84631847761744071182011-02-03T20:25:00.000-08:002011-02-03T21:08:25.468-08:00Back in ACTION!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1NVsImSRJ3ZKfU_lONyRCRYanu3jEBVbURpO7zK54iVHPg34Q1Ustrxn6QsFEY4xGKQNCZRpCYYHcSTw7r-mSkQZQ6HqTVbdeumrTTfgrVRJX-f_R6Th_Rg35pdqaWtH-ytacliM41TkW/s1600/blogsta.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569694241657435474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1NVsImSRJ3ZKfU_lONyRCRYanu3jEBVbURpO7zK54iVHPg34Q1Ustrxn6QsFEY4xGKQNCZRpCYYHcSTw7r-mSkQZQ6HqTVbdeumrTTfgrVRJX-f_R6Th_Rg35pdqaWtH-ytacliM41TkW/s320/blogsta.jpg" /></a> Getting spoiled by the Bracy's!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnjVLUEbSBik0ZM0nlmR627E4AS0RVe2Hszsl2HkUsNG5I0maipoRH5hUitzGBQ227b0JanquKdKQT8BXz_5r3OLWvFlg225v_6IRndul1EUSO3ZPqupsOwyTnfoOEKsf6x1P8puwAgOWQ/s1600/261.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569694238760779314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnjVLUEbSBik0ZM0nlmR627E4AS0RVe2Hszsl2HkUsNG5I0maipoRH5hUitzGBQ227b0JanquKdKQT8BXz_5r3OLWvFlg225v_6IRndul1EUSO3ZPqupsOwyTnfoOEKsf6x1P8puwAgOWQ/s320/261.JPG" /></a> Sharing the news- YOU WILL HAVE A NEW HOME FOR YOUR FAMILY!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXPmnGoEma4CaLkXFI0B5krBkmqDGfQBSkk9cxX_hjb-Dd6L5ilv1T6M6Yai-yCBnNFch4xHk9pQM6i0AkYxPjxEFFeMK9qMpBAAoVSjVoFthseBPnPc-Z9PmrtbOsAa65VlyJd9IuLOg/s1600/190.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569694235664080690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXPmnGoEma4CaLkXFI0B5krBkmqDGfQBSkk9cxX_hjb-Dd6L5ilv1T6M6Yai-yCBnNFch4xHk9pQM6i0AkYxPjxEFFeMK9qMpBAAoVSjVoFthseBPnPc-Z9PmrtbOsAa65VlyJd9IuLOg/s320/190.JPG" /></a><br />Class outing to Wendy's!

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. </div><br /><br /><div align="left">This is what Jesus is all about! This is what he has put on my heart- only because it is his heart! This is what I am excited to watch the Lord do on this island!<br /></div><br /><div align="left">There are now 12 boys coming on Tuesdays and Thursdays for mentoring! 17 year old men are learning their alphabet, and 13 year old boys have started reading. We have gotten to celebrate Menfi graduating, and Gus' first job. We have celebrated the birth of new siblings, and brokeness in their homes.These boys have stolen my heart! It's crazy to think about the reality of what they live in- constant violence, drug trafficking, mom's selling the girls out, extreme poverty. Hate it! Love seeing and reminding them that even though thats their living situation, it's not what defines them! I know the Lord is CRAZY, and WILDLY in love with them- because my heart feels only a glimpse of that and most of the time I feel I could explode! THANKS so much to everyone who helped us get them clothes to bring back, and are supporting this ministry- they are worth it!</div><br /><div align="left">We were staying with a young lady who was rescued from years of nasty abuse. Hard to fathem some times how we can hurt each other so deeply- but one thing I do know is that there is healing. Staying up praying through hard dreams and listening to an eager heart, this verse comes alive. The Lord is all about restoring what has been destroyed over the years! Even though we are no longer staying nights with this beautiful lady, I know and trust the Lord will continue to reach and love her in the places that are too deep for us to even comprehend!<br /></div><br /><div align="left">The student in my class that has started counseling- I see transformation in him. He went from talking about violence and shutting down to laughing with the students. He has a new confidence and gets excited to raise his hand in class. He is being reminded that he matters- which we all need every once in a while! Things in class are still trying and frustrating often, but there are relationship with my students that over ride all of this! Pray that I not grow weary in remembering that what they need most is to be loved and invested in. They are amazing!<br /></div><br /><div align="left">We will be building the house in just one month! We are now at 54% of the finanacial support that we are in need of. Thank you so much to all of you who have graciously given towards this family! They are beyond excited about the ways that their life is about to drastically change. Please continue to pray over this process- we will be starting the build March 4th! YAY!

Good stuff to share, praise the Lord!<br /><br /><div><div>Christmas break was much needed and SO RICH! Nothing like stepping off the plane to the surprise of my lovely parents, Manny, Stacie, Grant, and Kate dressed in tacky Christmas clothes. I wasn't sure if I should pee in excitement or cry, feeling overwhelmed with joy!</div><br /><br /><div>Walking into two weeks, it seems like a long time. When you haven't gotten to see so many who you adore however, it flies by faster than you could imagine! Being back in North Carolina was not "restful" in the slow down and get some sleep sense, but so thankful for the ways the Lord used it to renew my spirit. It's amazing how quickly we can become tired when we are not allowing the Lord to fill us up fully- that was where I was at! My dear friend Kate reminded me as I was praying, "Lord, I am desperate for you" that although yes.. I am in great need of Jesus- but I am not desperate. He doesn't hold back in loving on and pouring into his children that he adores. Gosh, so thankful for this reminder! So refreshing to be around so many that I love and am loved on so well- to get to not do the intro/get to know each other chat (as much as I love that).. and to be able to just dive into the heart! JUST REMINDED HOW BLESSED I AM to have a family and community to loves me so well- whether I am in a funk processing stuff, or laughing to the point of tears. So thankful! Coming back to the island with such a fresh perspective and renewed vision/ excitement! It continues to be such a crazy honor to live here and walk with so beautiful and unique people. I see the kingdom coming here on this island, and its AMAZING to get to walk in that!</div><br /><div>Some highlights from the break- ALWAYS FUN :)<br /></div><div>Finally getting to celebrate the love birds- Stace and Grant! Mom and dad are the best party planners there are. Nothing like having all the crew back together to celebrate- it was perfect! Watch out world, the Meiburgs are coming- and that's A LOT of love right there!</div></div><br /><br /><p>Sleepovers with Anna, Stace, and Elyse. Mom bringing coffee in bed and making us feel like queens (she's good at that). Dinner party with the Durham crew to celebrate oh so many things! Staying up until 4am chatting with Josh. VISITS, VISITS, VISITS!<br /><br />Family time- whether it was all the New Bern Christmas traditions (brunch at the party shack, oyster roast, gma's birthday, etc), or even just curling up on the sofa. SO NICE to be in their presence. Many many funny grandma quotes about why I am "really here", haha.<br /></p><br /><p>What left me floored was the pictures from the snow. When I left for Honduras, I knew that God wanted me here but it was so hard to leave aunt Jan who was so sick at the time. Thank you for your prayers- the Lord is such a powerful healer! Please take note of the picture of us playing in the SNOW. CRAZY- when I left she barely had the lung strength to get to the bathroom and we were able to outplay the kids in the snow running up and down the hills to sled this Christmas! Simply said, AMAZING! Continue to pray with us!</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p></div><br /></div></div>erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072098066316352828.post-11189646688046440552010-11-22T18:48:00.000-08:002010-11-22T20:04:07.383-08:00Greater things are yet to come!Last Tuesday night as I was laying down I remembered that I was supposed to lead devotions Wednesday. Even though being unprepared is not always wise, I love how it leaves so much more room to just speak from what the Lord is laying on your heart. I got to share the Derek Redmond video from the 1992 Olympics. If you haven't gotten to watch it, stop and check it out (it shows such a beautiful picture of our Father's love over us). I see myself so much in the son, who is desperate for my Father. Who is broken, and often discouraged- but thankful to have a Father who fights over me, to pick me up, carry me, and cheer me on. I wouldn't be able to be here and love on any one if it wasn't him in me- I am literally daily reminded of this. In this story Derek's father was a physical reminder of who the Lord is. We also get to be this in others lives! Jesus says, " I soon will be gone, but because of the Holy Spirit you will be a part of even greater things". Right before however in the gospel of John there is the promise " remain in me, and I will remain in you". Heidi Baker says as people would come to Africa and ask " How can we help?" Our answer was always the same: very simply, you can always love and hug children. And you can always spend a few weeks of your life to get a glimpse of how much of the world lives- and let your heart break. But more deeply, in order for you to be useful to the Master here- or anywhere- you must be close to Him and in love with Him. To the degree that you are intimate with Him, you will know what to do, what you must do"! I LOVE that! It's so true, the greatest way we can love others and serve others is by being intimate with our Father first! Even though this is so simple, it's so easy to slip away from! We live in a society that tells us our worth is in what we DO DO DO, but so often the Lord says "come, be still, rest in me". This is where we are poured into so that when opportunities come to love on his people, we can't miss out on them because our hearts our being transformed to be more like his! This is a daily prayer, and many days (like today) I get really tired and frustrated, but I am thankful for truth! I am excited for it to continue to come alive in my life!<br /><br />A few glimpses of how I have gotten to see the Lord lately:<br />Tuesdays and Thursdays we are tutoring our street boys (Pablo, Menfi, Bebe, Richie, Christopher, Tommy, Gus, Haskerd). This week we were able to pray over them, and as I was praying I looked up to find all the boys with their arms around each other. What a beautiful family to be a part of! I see the Lord more in those boys than they will ever know!<br /><br />One of the boys (15 years old) has been in jail for 7 weeks, and Harry headed up going over to visit to get him meals. They are not fed in jail, which paints a picture of what life is like there. Pray over our brother, that in a dark place he would experience God's love, light, and truth in undeniable ways! We are praying he will be out soon, but untill then I pray we are able to keep stopping by and giving him daily reminders that the Lord never forgets him & certainly will never give up on him. He has the most beautiful heart!<br /><br />I have had to have 5 meetings with kids in the principals office this past week addressing behavior issues. As draining as this can be, I am thankful that these kids are reminded that the reason they are corrected is because their worth investing in. One mom even agreed to and has starting taking her child to counseling because of an "intervention". Love when the Lord stops us in our tracks and shows us a better way! This is a huge growing experience for me, because discipline is not what come most naturally to me. I constantly have to pray for boldness and grace for myself. Please join me in praying transformed lives over my kids! It has been very up and down, but I continue to give thanks for them even when I am in tears feeling defeated! They are precious.<br /><br />We were able to have another high school night. So fun! Nice to take off the uniform and be friend! Harrison did a bangerade job talking about love and the crazy things we are willing to do for it.

Here is a little back story. I met these two little girls, Daniella and Susanna, last year right on my doorstep. I heard two voices yelling "buenas, buenas...... Doughnuts." It was love at first bite. This 12 and 13 year old were selling homemade doughnuts on the street and lucky for me, they do this everyday. After eating doughnuts for about two weeks, Amy and Jessica started to have the little girls come in and hang out with them. We built an amazing relationship with these two girls, we cooked together, took them to the dentist, played a lot of games, practiced each others languages and gave these kids a chance to be kids and feel the love we all deserve. This year I don't live as close to them but I have been by there house a few times. We have been blessed with the opportunity to partner with a non-profit organization called dwellings who is going to come down to the island and build them a house in Feb. as long as we can raise the money and get some extra hands to help in the building process. I am so excited to be able to give this family a more comfortable and safe place to live. Their home right now has mud walls and dirt floors, you can imagine what it must be like when it is raining. Keep this whole situation in your prayers, things have fit together very well up to this point, now we are waiting to here back about what we do next from dwellings. At some point in the near future, this project will be listed on their website for donations. Much love!"<br /><br />Amazing news- this family asked for help to get floors, NOW THEY WILL HAVE A NEW HOME! I don't think that it ever crossed their minds as a possibility, but the Lord desires to take care of and bless his children! Their lives are about to be completely changed- and we get to go tell them and share the joy with them tomorrow :) Praise the Lord!<br /><br />We need to raise $9,500- which I trust will happen. Please join us in prayer, that the Lord would continue to blow them and us away in this process!

THANKS SO MUCH, EXCITING STUFF! We will keep you posted :)erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072098066316352828.post-81522558653554641972010-10-23T21:14:00.000-07:002010-10-23T22:24:14.853-07:00Holla!Yesterday as I was walking into the school I saw Tonito carry out of the cafeteria a huge mouse/rat. Next thing I know Nina's dad runs out, pulls a sneak attack and just wHackS it with a huge hammer. Did I mention that this was at 6:55am in front of about 30 students and a few teachers. Maybe its one of those " I had to be there things", but I literally was crying in laughter!<br /><br />After school we got to watch the girls rock it in a volleyball match! So fun to join in and help make up school cheers. We are the crabs :) After the game we had a big bus filled with kids and headed over to the Alvarado's house for our first high school night! So fun to move past being Miss Erin in my hunter green CPBS polo and khaki's, and become friend. Loved playing soccer/ volleyball, helping teach them the fine art of making s'mores, and to just not hold back in having fun with them! Jess and Amber led worship, and then I got to share the Lord with them! My talk was about the Samaritan woman at the well, and how our wells are where we run to be satisfied. I loved getting to be raw with them, to not just speak out of knowledge, but thankfully out of experience- what he's done in my life! We had a blast and I can't wait to see what is to come :). Praise the Lord, it was a beautiful start!<br /><br />This morning little Ederick ( my neighbor with autism) who wouldn't speak to us the first 2 months of being here decided to come play and hang out! We got to sit at the table and shuffle through ipod songs, learn spanish & english words associated with pictures, draw, color, and watch All Dogs Go to Heaven! That's a good first day together :) What an amazing morning surprise- he is precious! That's a huge prayer answered to be building a relationship with him- it's taken a little while! The Lord is so good, and SO intentional down to the little details- LOVE IT!<br /><br />Right now we are on hurricane lock down. Richard, or Little Dicky as I prefer to call it is supposed to roll through very early in the am. I am not worried, but pray for the large amount of people here that either don't have a home or their homes are made of tin scraps. We shall see what the morning looks like, it could end up BEAUTIFUL like the last 2! Usually the power is the first thing to go. On that note- must go shower!

It has been such a blessing to watch the huge impact he has already had over their lives and the exciting part is that is only continuing to grow! They are so alive with personality! These guys are known by everyone on the island for two reasons; because they are good with people, but also due to extreme poverty they have to find a way to have every need met by themselves. The guys range from 13 to 17 years old, and the highest grade reached is 5th (some are still in 2nd). They don’t have parents at home encouraging them and speaking truth into their lives. The Lord has better for them however, these boys are being loved on, they are getting glimpses of the Lord’s heart for them! A friend gave Harry a key to his office so that we can tutor them! Traditions Harry started last year are carrying on. Sundays they come over as a safe get away, where they fish, cook, relax, dance, goof off, and read. It’s so fun to simply walk with people! This morning Harry, Kelly, and I got the precious gift to take 3 of the boys ( Pablo, Memphi, and Gos) to Clinic Esperanza, where they got their teeth cleaned for the first time! They each have cavities that have either already destroyed teeth, or were heading in that direction. I literally had a tear in my eye as I rubbed their arms, warming them up and sitting with them while Dr. Sanchez worked his wonders on them. Growing up I didn’t think twice about having parents that would bend over backwards to make sure that I was taken care of in every way, but I know that I am beyond blessed! These boys mothers have never had the means to take them to be cared for, and their fathers aren’t present. I am so thankful that today they were reminded their worth, that the Lord’s thoughts over them outweigh the grains of the sand, and that they are precious children of a loving Father. They already had glowing smiles, but now they are excited to have radiant smiles without dark holes all over! It will take a few more visits to fix all the cavities, but this is an amazing start to healthy mouths :)<br /><br />Ms. Peggy had a vision about 10 years ago to start a health clinic that would reach the community and it is doing exactly that! That vision is being carried out by volunteers year round who serve faithfully, while only charging about $2 per visit. To see all the people lined up at the door at 7am gave a sweet glimpse of daily life at the clinic. I was so encouraged to watch my friend John, and so many others work so hard and enthusiastically behind the scenes to make this possible. About 50 people per day walk in and leave helped/ healed/ and loved on! That is HUGE! I am thankful for my sister and brothers like Ms. Peggy who believe and trust that Jesus is who is says is, and because of that the provision of the Lord is visible daily!<br /></div><br /><br /><div>Harry ( the pioneer), Kelly (the spanish queen), and Zach (photographer extra-ordinare) got to go back to the doughnut girls house, where it is looking promising that support is coming to bring together the troops to build a home for these girls and their families. Pray that this family would be left in awe over the Lord’s provision for them! I can’t wait to see all the details of what God is working out! Also, I got to spend the afternoon with beautiful Miss Kendall at the orphanage she lives/works/ and volunteers at. I am so thankful that I get to watch the ways the kids respect her and soak up the fact that the way she loves them is different, her joy is different, and her life is completely different! The Lord told Kendall to take time off of school, which she thought was crazy at the time but she was obedient! In her obedience these orphans are discovering that whats different about her, what compels her to love them is the way she has experienced the Lord’s love in her own life. Once you experience it, you just can’t hold it in! I am loving a way to get to be involved with this ministry and to get to visually watch these kids grow, and be healed from crazy scars from the past. Kendall is walking with them towards the freedom that God provides. We got to tutor beautiful Destiny today, and at age 7 we are starting with shapes and colors. I see Jesus’ face so clearly in these kids, words just don’t come close to describing it! Thank you Kendall for daily surrendering the details of your life and just be willing to GO!</div><div><br />We are starting a youth group and last week was supposed to be our first meeting. Due to rain it had to be post poned untill this Friday. Can't wait to hit the groung running and stay open to what that's supposed to look like. Harry and I both have Young Life background, so our first meeting naturally looks a bit like "club". Will keep you posted! Last week, kids started to stay after school to “talk”. Many are opening up about their family lives, and why they are behaving the way they do. Although so many days are challenging at school, thank you for your prayers! The Lord is breaking down so many walls and I know that will only continue! I love them and am crazy thankful for who they are!<br /></div><div><br />This is just a tiny glimpse of big picture what all God is stirring up, providing for, and making happen. Keep praying that his kingdom would come to earth as it is in heaven! Be reminded that whether you work at a hotel, in the hospital, a lab, cubicle, school- wherever you are and whatever you are doing… you have an amazing gift to give! Investing in lives, changes lives! I am so thankful for every one who has taken time to believe in me and invest in me over the years. SO many come to mind :) Thank you!!! </div><br /><div>Normally I don't ask this, but if ever you feel led to invest in or bless any of these people or ministries please email me at <a href="mailto:erinepayne@gmail.com">erinepayne@gmail.com</a>. I know often our heart desires to give but we are not sure of good places to pour into, these are some beautiful people worthy to be loved on!</div></div></div>erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072098066316352828.post-49903410742323877442010-10-03T17:37:00.000-07:002010-10-03T18:37:34.856-07:00Always Enough!<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hello</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">lovely</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">ones</span>!<br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Missing</span> a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">lot</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">of</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">you</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">right</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">now</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">but</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">just</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">continue</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">to</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">pray</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">over</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">your</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">lives</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">in</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">excitement</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">of</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-error">what</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">is</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error">being</span> done/ <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-error">will</span> be done <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_24" class="blsp-spelling-error">in</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_25" class="blsp-spelling-error">and</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_26" class="blsp-spelling-error">through</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_27" class="blsp-spelling-error">you</span>! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_28" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sorry</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_29" class="blsp-spelling-error">that</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_30" class="blsp-spelling-error">my</span> blog <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_31" class="blsp-spelling-error">posts</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_32" class="blsp-spelling-error">have</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_33" class="blsp-spelling-error">been</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_34" class="blsp-spelling-error">few</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_35" class="blsp-spelling-error">and</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_36" class="blsp-spelling-error">far</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_37" class="blsp-spelling-error">between</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_38" class="blsp-spelling-error">but</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_39" class="blsp-spelling-error">thank</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_40" class="blsp-spelling-error">you</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_41" class="blsp-spelling-error">for</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_42" class="blsp-spelling-error">caring</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_43" class="blsp-spelling-error">about</span> me <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_44" class="blsp-spelling-error">and</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_45" class="blsp-spelling-error">desiring</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_46" class="blsp-spelling-error">to</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_47" class="blsp-spelling-error">get</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_48" class="blsp-spelling-error">some</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_49" class="blsp-spelling-error">glimpses</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_50" class="blsp-spelling-error">of</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_51" class="blsp-spelling-error">life</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_52" class="blsp-spelling-error">here</span>.

SO MUCH FUN :)<br />(since it was already a week ago since the trip I figure I better get something up)<br /><a href="http://jessicasitler.blogspot.com/2010/09/viavia.html">VIAVIA</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclPPatkvXZAAIPDVCWfRdnrWtPKRlBKBVtjPU3jwANGd147tL9vy8zX36133R-nrWy9voAhtIXU0j6ryVnpOGA9jS9vilnqAwPUDMYCDDN6POZt005ixHUUFqbRo1TdZ7Z5xcuWv1TPk/s1600/IMG_1680.jpg"></a>Probably one of the best international weekends I've had thus far on my journey. Honduran Independence Day was last Wednesday and the kids at school have been practicing for the parade for weeks. We marched around French Harbour with the band, baton twirlers, flag holders and Miss Honduras. We left on the ferry to La Ceiba later in the afternoon and arrived at Michael and Sarah's house to stay the night. We had an amazing spaghetti dinner with fresh avocados, cucumbers, bean soup, chocolate cake and horchata. We decided to hit the town and ended up at a karaoke bar filled with discoballs and a sweet dance floor. Harry sang some Enrique Inglesias, the girlies sang Beyonce and Zach sang Coolio. Very typical. Slept on some yoga mats until our alarms rang at 4am. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxqlO2-9bF-W_iVlXc4G_UWsEtPbQEgGnksA6HGQ7buSHG-xgWDtly5hITLntP1pgMavBjEZtVJGOMw6UXYQIAcoJqF6ISpOVEi6wHRFzjLY2K45j9YgbLBz30ATUmLPo1V-yltEyrGZU/s1600/IMG_1653.JPG"></a>We walked through some sketchy woods to the highway and then to the bus station. Boarded our bus to Copan. Layover in San Pedro Sula. Decided to check out the city. Language barriers and misunderstanding lead our taxi driver to believe that we wanted to go to the "supermercado" instead of the market downtown. We ended up grocery shopping and drinking coffee and eating smoothies during our time in San Pedro. I couldn't stop laughing. Arrived to Copan around 5 and checked into our hostel, Carrillo, located about 2 blocks from central park. For $5 a day, it was very nice with HOT SHOWERS. WHATTTT!!! We ordered 4 pizzas at a place called Milo's between the 7 of us and finished every last piece. We found a nice coffee shop/book exchange and then meandered over to a wine bar down the street. We met some travelers, played hacky sack, and invited them along for the ride. We ended up dancing the night away and learning how to "punta" from some of the local Hondurans. We chatted on the roof of our hostel with candles since the power was out. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQaTxLf9CdTa3VZ9-HOIdHIXK3AmjqApPJP7iZvtPWDVML9M7Plm9He4lxA-1pEDCZe4m_9EIcllFDJkasOYyRvarqsBixBZIitRfnea_ilhMrzncTmNPCk_E2IV5tBSTJ-HXbY9cvDbI/s1600/IMG_1681.JPG"></a>Woke up on Friday morning and headed over to the Mayan Ruins where we hiked around for a few hours and of course, played hacky sack in the casa court. The ruins were phenomenal, some dating back to 300 BC. John decided to feed the parrots out of his mouth; he provided most of the entertainment for our trip. We were starving and found a cheap local place called Tipicos where we ordered like kings for about $1 each. Nachos, HUGE burritos, quesadillas, fried plantains with beans and queso, and strawberry juice. We immediately decided to take a 3 hour horse riding tour of Copan which, was not the best idea after indulging in copious amounts of comida. Trekked up the mountain to a mud hut village where we were swarmed by children selling corn husk flower bouquets and dolls.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLa6d-c25jcuVtZElK2_9N4GfIOe-D614bGgHn7iUI1r_B9sFYxbjn32r__UYioBlwF2YC99un6xOHYtnI8wpLdZI-MJ6wrC1HXbevdVm6tEkXXP2QHv4L8L_jzXRLw6yPdExz0lQi1iU/s1600/IMG_1723.JPG"></a>The guides Margarito and Juan Carlos were in extremely good shape; they ran beside the horses with us for the entirety of our trip. We headed back to shower before the power went out again, made our way to central park to eat dessert and tacos for dinner. We found a restaurant and bar called ViaVia, mostly with gringos and a bartender from Oregon. We wandered to another place down the street, listened to some guitar playing, some of us went home, some of us decided to keep exploring the beautiful quaint city of Copan. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXE0K_VjjtqAj7nxutwD6jMy7yXbrwrsgvNAEAZKSbQJpdNpGKzyAS43xUADsRez0Exp3GducgdlJU4XtWPTY3CRSI63QRaCRCXjX6wbNdO4LTipZfk20V8gKZ9l6NEuTcQI5rGrm8F7U/s1600/IMG_1750.JPG"></a>The discoteca we found, was not so quaint. It was phenomenal and loud and full of lights and dancing Hondurans. We had a blast in the fog machine, jumping into the pool at the end of the night and walking back to our hostel, making it in time to catch the bus at 4am back to La Ceiba. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt0-fHG9gpOLFuRZ5VTrwI8799bSrgz7_eQ4mfZzyOiROLalM_F_sREeg-gK4Ap50ZVU2qJ9i8u1Rjb0eUJ2oHLxONtIY143uVJT0TLynzS5WhlGANzBAWNwClQ8sbQRebMy1twDV5qys/s1600/IMG_1753.JPG"></a>We made it to Ceiba around 1pm on Saturday, jumped off some cliffs and took it easy playing spanish catch phrase and meeting fellow travelers who were there to hike waterfalls and white water raft at <a href="http://www.jungleriverlodge.com/">Jungle River</a>. All 7 of us slept in one room, it was fabulous. Started the rafting trip around 9:30, took a midway hike to a gorgeous waterfall and jumped into it's surrounding pool. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMZC8ltd2-HRZq72sn0bUfGzy7GOw04IdGF1Bh5IoDQiR6miIAkSwilr2QbWGr1UXjmmNNKwSBJWQmgevYlwTkI2Eb0xtGQkr5rN6zF6eSqLr_3rxOJ9rhHhGyJcBfPojL2Mj9GsOCL5Q/s1600/IMG_1765.jpg"></a>We took the ferry back to Roatan and got back on Sunday around 6:30, utterly exhausted yet feeling so accomplished and cultured after the fun filled and adventurous weekend.

I have been away from internet for a week but just have to share my excitement and celebration that two of my best friends are getting married... to each other!!! AHHH I am about to explode with praise, thanks, and joy :)</div><br /><div>Stacie and Grant are two of the most set apart people to me, I just love that they get to be set apart together forever! It has been the greatest blessing to get to walk beside these two and watch the Lord transform them and move in their lives/ relationship! From Stace praying over G for 8 months before him realizing his feelings for her to Grant pursuing her so faithfully.. their relationship has just been SUCH a beautiful picture of the Lord's loveto me and so many! We have always called ourselves the trifecta, which sounds ooober cheesy (because in some ways it is) but in reality it has been/ is an amazing honor!! After praying the past year with both Stacie and Grant for patience, it's so fun to get to fully celebrate them and not hold back!! Although it's times like this that it's hard to be away, I am just overwhelmed with awe and thanks for this season and so many to come!

You go to sign in and there is a huge tarantula over the door!<br />2. During communion you look down and realize the bread that’s broken is a tortilla!<br />3. After each bathroom experience it takes 6 flushes for a success.<br />4. For the first time in your life you are so amazingly thankful to only have cold showers!<br />5. You spend your Friday night floating in the sea, watching the lightning strike over the perfectly lit sky, singing worship to 5 shooting stars! Did I mention, with the most amazing little family :)<br />Many more to come, just a glimpse!<br />So I made it, praise the Lord! I have a very new respect for teachers! Getting up at 4, riding the bus to and from school with the kids, getting home at 6 just to do lesson plans, and grade work… it will take some time to get in the rhythm. Wednesday I got 3 more new students, and am so excited to be getting to know them. One thing I love about the 6th grade is that it’s definitely the age where you start to try to find yourself. In their journals this week I asked them questions about the adventures they have been on, places they would like to go, and who they want to be?! This week was hard, but even amongst behavioral issues and complaining I see kids that the Lord is going to use in mighty ways! I’m really having to take it one day at a time, celebrate the small victories, and pray for a lot of patience and guidance! Thankful to be able to encourage them and speak into their lives, there is so much opportunity! Also, SO THANKFUL for grace because I feel like I mess it up a lot- very humbling but very good!<br />Saturday we finally got to meet the group of boys that Harrison fell in love with last year. All of these boys are around 13 years old, full of personality and spunk, but many don’t have support and are only in the 3rd grade! I look forward to hearing more of their stories, but am so encouraged by the way Harrison loves them. They all lit up to have him back! Most of them rode their bikes from French Harbour to West End (like 14 miles) and even though we weren’t allowed to fish, we had a blast swimming and playing on the beach/ eating bailiados !<br />Another praise, the Lord stirred in conversation today and created an opportunity to reach out to my neighbors. It all stemmed from asking sweet Santos how the kids were doing… one thing led to another and by the end he asked so humbly “do you know anything that would help my son”? This is a really hard thing, especially in the Honduras culture to admit that a kid is special and might need extra/ particular attention. (In order for this to make sense you had to of read a past post about m and by the end he asked so humbly “do you know anything that would help my son”? In order for this to make sense you had to of read a past post about my precious 6 year old neighbor Ederick who has un-diagnosed autism). I definitely continue to pray the Lord would move and bless this family, it’s frustrating when I definitely continue to pray the Lord would move and bless this family, it’s frustrating when you don’t understand what’s going on- but I know Jesus is molding an amazing man in Ederick… he just needs to be understood and invested in! Will keep you posted!<br />Pray everyone's doing well, as always just want to say how blessed I am by you!

Dias Amigos!Yes, slowly but surely I am learning some Spanish! The expressions I know I use quite often with a huge smile on my face in excitement! The first weekend off was amazing and much needed. It really starts to set in that you are a teacher when you spend your Friday nights around a table doing schoolwork. Thankfully, everything is more exciting and a bit less overwhelming in that we are walking through it closely and all together! Saturday, Arthur drove Zach, Kelly, Jessica, Jairo, Hulio, Delby and I to West Bay. All I can say it- WOW! West Bay is literally paradise, with the powder sand, crystal clear water, and so much sea life to explore. I would compare snorkeling here to an afternoon hike in Boone, both are incredibly peaceful! We splurged and had a delicious meal, skipped around attempting to play volleyball (hot sand), and were so blessed by meeting a guy named Tristen. Tristen became a believer 3 years ago, and there is nothing more refreshing and encouraging getting to talk about all that the Lord is teaching us, the ways we’ve seen him move, and just the excitement of the walk! He is on Fire! After reading Crazy Love my prayer has been and continues to be that no longer I/ we walk being lukewarm, but instead OBSESSED with Jesus! Sunday we caught a taxi to church, but before met some really interesting islanders at a coffee shop. The nice thing about staying a year is that you can start to be intentional in going back to the same places; to build the relationships that you might not have any other way! Turns out one of the guys is an atheist, but his kids were at the church we went to! Coincidence, I think not J<br />This week is super busy trying to get the classrooms set up, and everything planned for next week. Open house is this coming Monday and I have a lot to do since I am teaching 6 subjects all together. What an adventure trying to learn the best methods of lesson planning! I will be learning more than the kids I am pretty sure J Can’t wait!<br />A few things to be praying for- I have had a stomach bug and fever the past few days. Pray for healing, and supernatural energy/ strength! Thankful to have this now versus the first week of school, but defiantly am in need of working hard to get all the preparations done!<br />Also please pray that the Lord provides a way for families to be able to send their kids to school. One thing I love about the Children’s Palace is that even though it’s private, most of the kids come from middle class families. Right now I only have 7 students, but there are so many families that have been going to the CPBS and want to return- just are waiting for funds! The Lord has handpicked and knows exactly who will be/ needs to be in the classroom, so excited to watch this process!<br />Pray that our school/ the classroom are a place where kids (and staff) encounter the Lord’s grace, crazy love, and intimacy daily! To be honest I have always been kind of hesitant about Christian schools because I believe we are called to be in the world but not of the world. I can say however that it really is a blessing to experience SO MUCH freedom to celebrate the goodness of the Lord! To be bold and not hold back in the classroom is such an honor!<br />Thank you so much for being you- so wonderful! Love you friends and family!erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072098066316352828.post-81608021692924531342010-08-13T12:16:00.000-07:002010-08-13T12:30:57.403-07:00pictures :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikIlQ81wtgkWgGTKRw_v_BMlKLUjtRn3mFgnGFTI5ZKrTKoaffd29SKosN0zBFVYjilOhIqsLZU7SJmR1lwRA3CIfIbExs_xfOhxDKa10uRpYl4r-sC3_bzrNYHf7znyiF1qdE6l5k6Q50/s1600/108.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504978937464848738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikIlQ81wtgkWgGTKRw_v_BMlKLUjtRn3mFgnGFTI5ZKrTKoaffd29SKosN0zBFVYjilOhIqsLZU7SJmR1lwRA3CIfIbExs_xfOhxDKa10uRpYl4r-sC3_bzrNYHf7znyiF1qdE6l5k6Q50/s320/108.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Agua- saves everyone on the island from the poops :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sandy Bay- muy bonita!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtZ7U79zFVhjZ1MjHazhjqtHsFmvHlfGF7a2l9O5XzJw1KtlTb4Kcgco4rfPPDPY_eS68GKs_9RZoGgfIBbXlCA7JKex0BtothmjIyJPouIPmnefexhjGRiegxzulrs-7FG6CoT2WsqWPM/s1600/117.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504978060011258802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtZ7U79zFVhjZ1MjHazhjqtHsFmvHlfGF7a2l9O5XzJw1KtlTb4Kcgco4rfPPDPY_eS68GKs_9RZoGgfIBbXlCA7JKex0BtothmjIyJPouIPmnefexhjGRiegxzulrs-7FG6CoT2WsqWPM/s320/117.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOaDgghoXfdiQJzt1QIVfxq2XCavKhtBnE3yQNqs-E6KK_MpuVGcTpvfgWiS2nVePo_TWnjaODLmuxgy568mRHg2SSk9T4rGHuUz0z-9CYUndCIRTqJ0kTTF35pcGBTaiUZIrEbcb2lZW/s1600/105.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504976547248602386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOaDgghoXfdiQJzt1QIVfxq2XCavKhtBnE3yQNqs-E6KK_MpuVGcTpvfgWiS2nVePo_TWnjaODLmuxgy568mRHg2SSk9T4rGHuUz0z-9CYUndCIRTqJ0kTTF35pcGBTaiUZIrEbcb2lZW/s320/105.JPG" /></a> WHAT A BLESSING!

My heart is overwhelmed with joy and thanks :). This morning we started out orientation with worship and prayer... it leaves me in tears to hear everything in both english and spanish! Just to look around the room at all the teachers, it's the most beautiful picture of the body! We had the opportunity to share our stories, what brought us to teach at the Children's palace, and basically whatever we wanted to. It was such an honor to get to stand up and share my story- the Lord's good! Even though a lot of us are different races, from different parts of the world, and speak different languages... our common bond is the strongest of them all- the love of the Lord! The islanders have been amazing at just welcoming us right in! Just got to play soccer with Roberto and my sweet maintenance friend (names are sometimes hard to understand the first time, still working on that)! Even though my shirt is literally dripping with swet, it feels good to connect with the natives and brush up on my long lost soccer skills! Friday we should be able to get a cell phone, and hopefully get a little more time on the internet to be a bit more in touch! I love you all very much and just light up to show everyone here pictures and stories of my family and friends! Have to go, we are about to be assigned our rooms! Hope to make it very welcoming and colorful for the kids, even though I don't have a lot of resources! Thankful for the ones we do have though- they stretch far! Talk to you soon lovely ones!erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072098066316352828.post-40134137486407234312010-08-10T08:25:00.000-07:002010-08-10T08:33:17.120-07:00Start of something GOOD!After going to sleep at 1am and waking up at 3:30am to scoot our boots to the airport (did I mention my parents are the best?), Mom and I were proud to find both bags to be 49.5 pounds- SUCCESS! I wish I could say the first flight I had really intentional conversation with the kids beside me, but no… I was conked out! A power nap that was just long enough to be overwhelmed with joy and hugs when meeting with Kelly and Jessica in Houston Texas. I am so thankful that the Lord chose us to walk together this year, they’re wonderful! Flying in over the water and arriving to Roatan was breath taking to say the least Everywhere you look is green, with rolling hills, muy bonita playas (beaches), and such a great mix of races- LOVE IT! Mrs. Nina and Jaime picked us up from the airport and really couldn’t be more gracious and caring! I can tell that as teachers we are going to be so supported and loved on by them. Our first meal was at none other but Wendy’s, and surprisingly I was able to order my salad in Spanish! Where we live is 12 miles from where we will be teaching, which is a 40 minute drive to the Sandy Bay. Our apartments are so much more than what we expected! A few things to get adjusted to have been to not drink the water, bugs galore/ EVEN A CRAB IN THE APARTMENT, to not have ac, and to not be able to flush toilet paper (can cause quite the stink). I am SO THANKFUL however to be living in a clean/ safe place, simply, but so beautifully! My roommate Kelly and I started to unpack a bit, but before we made a dent we decided to get Jess and venture around Sandy Bay a bit. The beach is only a 10minute walk from where we live! Diving in with our clothes on has never felt so good, it’s very hot here. Walking back was an adventure, we not only had guys try to pick us up, but we also had to climb under a barb wired fence to get back in at 7:30pm! It’s been a blessing to have time just to sit still with the Lord, read, journal, and rest in the Lord before starting up orientation. Between going to get groceries, meeting our neighbors, and just walking around I can tell I am held back in really building relationships because I don’t know Spanish. This excites me though because not only will I learn it as I go and get to be creative, but I will also have so much opportunity to see the Lord tear down walls and really be the one moving/ speaking! Zach just arrived from Texas, what a wonderful addition he is! This morning is day one of orientation and I am so excited to get things prepared so that we can start strong! Mrs. Nina’s daughter Prinella joined us in running a couple of errands yesterday; she will be in my class! Apparently my class is crazy, loves to laugh/ talk, and loves Justin Bieber- YES!!erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072098066316352828.post-48405714659371542262010-08-05T14:35:00.001-07:002010-08-05T14:35:21.021-07:00Here we go!In 3 days I will be stepping off of a plane to live in Roatan Honduras! The greatest thing is that I have no clue what to expect in this next year, but I certainly come SO expectant! Ephesians 3:20 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us". I praise the Lord for this opportunity, the only reason I desire & am able to go and love boldly is because He has loved me perfectly first!<br /><br />I am so thankful and excited to share this journey with you- my prayer is that together we would continue to be LEFT IN AWE of God! <br /><br />I will be teaching 6th grade at a Christian bilingual school, and can't wait to meet all my precious children :). I am learning what it looks like to surrender my dreams, my plans, my hopes, and fears... to trust and simply follow him! After graduating from Appalachian in Sociology I would've never dreamed that I would be working at a hotel on Kiawah Island for a year and then set off to teach in Honduras! His plans are perfect! I love that in all the craziness, and all the changes, the one thing that stays consistent is that my Father's faithful and He's good! I have no clue how to teach & don't know Spanish, but at the end of the year if these kids learn & know that they are His beloved, loved and adored- that's huge!<br /> <br />Community is such a blessing, thankful to get to continue to walk with all of you! Please keep me updated on your lives! CAN'T WAIT! Love you!erinelizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16463684725384440070noreply@blogger.com1
