On Saturday, March 16th, Daddy and Alex left on their 1st Mission trip together to Reynosa, Mexico. About 20 other people, led by Al and Connie Negen, departed around 6 am for the long drive. They have been caulking and painting the school that's located on the property of Children's Haven. You can check out their website here:

Vince has felt called for the past three years, and finally decided he had to do it this year! It's been exciting seeing Alex and Daddy get ready for this. Daddy wrote a devotional to do with the people there about David--both in Spanish and English.
The Negen's have been taking groups to CHI for 12 years. CHI has many "homes" on their property with houseparents taking care of around 10 kids per house. Vince and Alex have been playing soccer and volleyball--Vince says they are awesome at soccer. Vince has really enjoyed hanging out with the older teen boys and says he's surprised that his Spanish is coming back to him. Alex has hit it off with a girl named Anna.
Lila really had a hard time when Alex left. She did not want her to leave!! Titus had no idea what was going on and really didn't want to stop watching his favorite show...
Can you believe how much Alex has grown up?!! This picture really took me aback. It just seems like yesterday she was two years old and next year she'll be in high school! This is one picture I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am so thankful to have such an amazing husband and children.
