Jessi is going for her first squatty

1 1/2 hours into the trip and jessi is now "experienced". It took a while to find just the right bush but she found it. She received a cheer from the group as she returned from her "duty". When I asked her for one word to describe her experience she said, "relieving!".

That a girl! What is Shane doing? Going to bury your treasures? Or maybe going to gain some relief himself?

That a girl, Jessi!! Hey...where is that fancy collapsible toilet? By the way, Jessi....the kids have been awesome at Powerhouse. Not sure what you threatened them with..but, it worked!

You have decided to follow Jesus... no turning back, no turning back! This is code between us girls :+) Jessi - you look Lingy Tawi!!! And yes the kids at Powerhouse have been AMAZING! We miss you all and LOVE this blog!

Admire Jessi even more now!
Cold, wet and windy back here.
Miss us yet?
Doug, your kids are being great. Only one refusal to get out of bed this morning. PSP confiscated, situation resolved. :)

A "BUSH" Jess isn't that where lions and tigers hang out (or other small creatures)?? I know you really don't have any other options! You all look really great so far!! Keep smiling!! Nancy

Well Doug, I can't accuse you of holding back any trip details. . . maybe too much information? ;-) Anyway, according to Psalm 121:8 - the LORD will watch over your coming and "going" both now and forevermore. (NIV) So, you're safe doing that in the bush. ;-)

Continuing to pray daily for your safety and success in this mission. God bless you all.

I agree with my mom...duty! ^^ I think you did that on purpose, Pastor Doug!

So so proud. I feel like Shane is running away laughing in disbelief. You do it too, Mr. Copeland!!!

Just some insight into my husband's twisted sense of humor. Although Jessi did actually have to squat somewhere and go, this picture is only a reenactment. I'm sure of it. Because that would be just wrong to post an actual pic of it. Shane however, must really have to go. He's running around, looking for the perfect spot!
