It’s hard to believe that it’s been exactly 7 months since we arrived back in America! The memories and experiences of our time in Madagascar are some that shine brightest for us in 2015 and I know we’ll carry them with us for the rest of our lives.

In May, you saw some of the recaps from our trip to Madagascar, but thankfully our friend and teammate put together this beautiful video which tells about our two weeks far better than my recap ever could.

We experienced God’s faithfulness firsthand so many times throughout the trip, and it was a sweet reminder to constantly trust His sovereign hands.

We praise God for allowing us to be apart of this trip and to be able to share the story of our Savior with the Antandroy! We thank each of you that supported us through your prayers, encouragement, or financially!

Helllooooo. Can you hear me?

Okay, enough of my Adele attempts. Happy December!

As per the trend of my 2015 monthly goal post, I’m behind. One of my goals for 2016 will be #BeMoreTimely

But let’s not jump ahead to 2016, here’s how November went…

  • prep for Christmas cards – check
  • send Mada thank you notes – all but three that I can’t locate the addresses for
  • begin looking at houses – check, we’re officially #HouseHunting
  • car shopping – complete!
  • clean and organize the house – not as organized as I want but we’re getting there
  • continue work on walking and running goals – mehhhhh… 😉
  • run a half! – completed! yayyyyy!

Now for December, the month of parties, treats, a full heart, and celebrating the birth of our Savior!

  • decorate for Christmas
  • mail cards by December 10
  • finish shopping by December 15
  • host/help host a dinner
  • try to finish 2015 blog posts
  • continue {patiently} searching for a house
  • finish reading plan

I think that’s it. Hopefully you’ll be hearing from me a few more times in 2015, per goal 5.

Fingers crossed. 🙂
