3 of us talk!

Hello! Anna, Ian , and Beth here. We are doing very well, and are excited about the coming days of VBS. Let’s be honest, the ocean is amazing. And it doesn’t hurt that we are within 5 minutes of it (walking distance.) The day of traveling was strenuous. Lots of rushing and nothing to eat. The meal provided for us when we got to the house was probably the best meal that has ever touched my lips. The first night was hard for everyone. The heat was so immense. But we woke up the next morning and went swimming which was very relaxing. Saturday was a day for hanging out with the teens and just getting to know them. The people here are so friendly. The scenery is a picture of God’s handiwork. I cannot believe I am actually here. Sunday (so far) has been very fun, and quite the culture shock. I went with a group to Paget Farm Church. Ian preached his sermon and did so well. We went to Andron’s preschool graduation and that brings me here. Typing this blog. Please continue praying for us. I love you all!

Hi, everyone!

The trip so far has been amazing. I have loved pretty much every minute of it, with the exception of the times I was laying in bed trying to forget the heat existed…

As Anna said, I preached my first sermon ever today! I think it went pretty well. The text I used, in case anyone’s curious, was 2 Timothy 2. The main point of the sermon was to encourage the church to remember Christ, and to be united by the gospel. It was pretty well received. One of the cool things was that I was feeling really nervous about the whole thing until I went up on stage. As soon as I got there and put my Bible and notes on the podium, I felt totally fine, and the rest was easy. The Holy Spirit was helping me a lot.

I’m so excited for everything that we will be doing for the rest of the trip. Our relationships with the people are already awesome.

Thanks for praying!

hey everyone! So, I absolutely LOVE Bequia. This morning I went to church at Paget Farms with Anna and Ian. (and a bunch of others.)i love being able to worship with other cultures! It was by far, my favorite part of the trip so far.
The whole island is so beautiful. i just love being here, and having a bunch of opportunities to serve God. We met a few of the teen the other night, and i just cant wait to get to know them better, and form relationships. Thank you all for praying for us, and please keep it up as we begin to work in VBS and with the teens tomorrow.  See you all soon!
