The Celica of his dreams. He saved all his hard earned summer money and came home with this 1996 beauty. That he can’t drive yet, because the front shocks need to be replaced. But, one step at a time. He is sooooooooo excited. And then this happened. He took a curve in the road too…
I feel like every missionary email I see after they take a little break always starts with an apology for it being a while. I’m sorry? I don’t know, I’ve been going into the city every P day so it hasn’t left much time for emails. I knew I wouldn’t be here for long so…

Blake hiked his 1st 14er(s)! And of course, with zero training, he scampered right to the top. Grey’s and Torry’s for the win. But maybe his favorite part was driving the truck on the dirt roads leading up to the trailhead. Or perhaps it was picking up two cute girls whose car couldn’t navigate the…
Happy Monday Y’all, I promised I would talk a little more about Davonta in my last email. It’s been about 2 weeks since he’s been baptized, and I am so excited for him. He has been dealt a really hard hand in life, he grew up in a rough part of Baltimore and as a…
Hello all! It came as a big surprise, but I am getting transferred! My companion is going home so I totally thought I would stay, but nope. I’ve had a good time here in the Annapolis YSA area, lots of really cool people. Quick one for you guys today – We got caught outside in…
Lost luggage in Joburg So we zoomed onto our Johannesburg flight, and we were worried about our luggage making it. The guy told us to just kind of zoom on and things would be okay. Walking off the plane I asked Tara and Halle, “Do you think we used up all our luck, or do…
We got up early this morning so we could have a couple of hours of safari time before we had to board our plane. We decided to try for see one more river crossing, and we’re so glad we did! We checked out one spot for a while but not much was happening, so we…
We had a 3:55am wake up today. It’s hot air ballon day! Halle sent me an instagram post months ago showing a balloon safari, and I’m pretty sure that triggered this whole trip. Needless to say, we were EXCITED. We drew the short end of the stick and had the earliest pick up time. Since…
WHAT. A. DAY. Our first day in Serengeti exceeded our wildest expectations. Yesterday evening I told Charles I wanted to see a Cheetah. We were joking that I was good luck, and that it would probably be the first animal we saw in the parks. Halle said, “Cheetah with cubs.” We all laughed and I…
