Before

Two days left!

Where has then time gone? It feels like just yesterday we started the planning process, and saving for then trip. I must say that we are totally excited for the trip. As you all know my dad and I are headed to the Philippines on a mission trip. Together this is our first mission trip and couldn't have done this without you!

Last week we had a " baby shower" for our trip. We collected an enormous amount of supplies to take to the Philippines. We are so thankful to have been given the opportunity. We have packed our supplies into three of our four suitcases and are ready for the trip. It won't be before long when we are in the air that I think I will officially realize what We are doing.

Our trip is truly a work of what God can do! When I was 10 years old I was baptized, in eighth grade I decided to dedicate my life to the mission field, and last year I dedicated my life to ministry! This journey will be the first and not the last.

My dad and I thank you for the love, prayer, and support that you have given us. We ask for prayer and support while we embark on this journey, we will continue to post while we are away as much as we can!

Thanks,
Tom & Jesse

  2. Hello Jesse and Tom,
    I'm sure by now you've been allowed to show and share your love. We're all so proud of both of you and if honest, maybe even a little jealous (a good jealous) for the treasures you're storing up in heaven. Prayers going up for you!
    Much love!
