Things have been going really well here. First of all our little boy, Silas Jude, was born at the end of January. He was 9 lbs 9 oz (I know!). He ended up having to stay in the NICU for 6 days because of blood sugar issues but was sent home completely healthy. He's doing great and Sage is a wonderful big sister. She loves helping with him and making him smile, he has a special one just for her :) She doesn't like him much when he cries though, we're working on that ;)
Joel has continued the same schedule we shared last time, but now he is also teaching the youth on Wednesdays and is going to the church bible study on Tuesdays. Something going on just about every day!
We're excited to share that Pastor Kenny was able to get enough funding to buy a new church van! Thank you if you helped out, it is a huge blessing to the village. Here's a couple pictures:
We still keep in touch with friends in Belize and everyone seems to be doing great. We're hoping we can visit maybe next year when Silas is a little older. Sage wants to see her chickens ;) It's so strange to think of what we were doing at this time last year and how different things are now.
It looks like Joel will be joining the youth on a mission trip to Brazil this summer. We'll update about that once he knows more about what they will be doing.
We will be in WI to visit at the end of May for Joel's sisters wedding. We should be around for a couple weeks, hopefully we'll be seeing some of you!
