Daniel has been out of the country for the last couple of weeks on a mission trip. He is on what his school calls the "capstone" trip and it is part of his degree. He was in Hungary for a while and now he is in Thailand. Several people were saved during their time in Hungary and I look forward to seeing what the Lord does while they are in Thailand. Please be praying for him and his team!!!
Thankfully we have been able to stay connected through e-mail and we were super excited to be able to Skype a couple of times! Having to be apart so much during our entire relationship is making our wedding day even more exciting! Saying "goodbye" is becoming harder and harder for me to say.
He will fly in July 24th and I am sooo ready to have him back! (:
Right before he left we completed our last counseling session with the pastor that is officiating the ceremony and we went to apply for a marriage license. I cannot even begin to describe what an incredibly surreal moment that was.
And of course my mom took a picture of us as we left... (:
While he has been away, I've been staying busy with wedding planning, packing, showers, and did I mention wedding planning?
My days are full as I try to juggle life at home with my busy family of nine and preparing for the future.
A friend was engaged shortly after I was and she and her fiancé are getting married the weekend after Daniel and I are. She too has a large family and it has been so good to talk to her about the joys and struggles during this season. She really encouraged me to make time for my siblings over the next couple of months. The closer we get to the wedding the crazier it gets, but I am doing my best to not miss the moments to spend time with my younger brothers and sisters.
(me and the sibs...minus Macheus)
Last Saturday a few of my amazing friends threw a wedding shower for me So many dear friends were there and it was such a fun afternoon. We took a bunch of pictures and I will post them soon!

Hi Kenzie! Aww, I know it's hard for you to be away from Daniel, but like you said, I'll be praying that the Lord will do amazing things through him on this trip!! Sniff; I almost teared up reading about you spending time with your siblings. Makes me thankful for the time that I have with mine! Time flies SO fast!! It was such a joy to see y'all at the shower the other week...looking forward to the pics! :)
May God bless you dear friend!!
Love,
