The nutshell:
March 2012
Ted goes to Colombia with Medican Ministries International
Ted traveled to work off of a boat on the Amazon river and was based out of Leticia, Colombia for 10 days in March. Following this trip, he was asked to sign on as the Medical Director for the amazon branch of MMI. We plan to have a long term partnership with this group in the next few years as a way of culturing more long term relationships in missions, and also as connection to Lucas and Sam's birth countries. Here are a few photos of the excursion.
Yet another in March 2012
Erin co-lead a trip back to Haiti with the Global Orphan Project. This was a smaller team from our home church, Deerbrook Covenant as well as with a larger church in the area, Lakeland Community. It was a nice transition to get "trained in" with a different intention on this trip.
May 2012
Then we completely changed gears and gave ourselves one of "those" vacations that many normal Americans take from time to time. This was a celebration of surviving 9 years of Ted being in some sort of college and our first major getaway together without the kiddos. It was much needed and a big blessing. Given that we will soon have 3 boys under the age of 5, it probably won't be happening again for awhile. It was wonderful. We had tans. We ate big breakfasts.
Back to Haiti again with The Global Orphan Project in July 2012
Erin headed up her own team in July that consisted of folks from Missouri, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. We had a wonderful time, yet again. Auntie Breann was able to come with me this time!
We traveled to San Antonio, TX for Labor Day as well as to Tucson, AZ to visit aunti Laurie for Thanksgiving (fresh home from the war for the last time we hope!)
I nearly forgot, but we sent Ted to Uganda with Medical Missions Foundation based out of Overland Park, KS
We did to more than just fly all over the place in 2012, but that is a different post :-)
