Spring Break

So our spring break may not have looked very typical, but we still had a great time.
Ben has been begging for us to bring his friend Ben and his family up to the mountains with us, and it worked out this time!
 The boys had a blast tromping through the jungle and jumping off the rocks into the river. They even jumped off the bridge. :)
 The main purpose of this trip was for Mikayla to say goodbye to some people and places that are dear to her heart. Hard to imagine in just a few short weeks she will be graduated and moving back to the States.
 She got in a last couple jumps too. :)
 So thankful that we were able to see several of her good friends and for to get the chance to say goodbye.
 And she had to get in a couple more tribal baby snuggles.
 From there, we drove a little further north to visit with one of our national partner families where they are on furlough this year. Mikayla hadn't seen their daughter, Ivy, in quite a while, so she really wanted to say goodbye before she left. We invited them to spend the day at a pool with us, and we had a blast together.
 They brought their extended family (around 30 of them!), so we were quite the group! We had a lot of fun together.
 Here is the kids with the other 2 MKs. 
 These two are peas in a pod for sure.
 It was such a special time, and we are so thankful that Mikayla had the opportunity to have this time of closure. Goodbyes are hard though. :( But His grace is always sufficient.
