How to prepare yourself spiritually and mentally for birth
Another video from the archives that never got posted, the Olotsara bungalows was such a beautiful place! We know to prepare better next time, though. They advertise "the comfort of your home" and we now know that is very subjective. Regardless, amazing memories were made and we are thankful we could go!

Rookie Mistake on an Island Vacation | Olotsara, Solomon Islands
This is a vlog that was recorded in 2023 but one that was a priority for us to post. We are so thankful that both Grandmas have been able to visit us here in the Solomon Islands. These visits are so very valuable for missionary kids...and their parents.
