On Monday, June 23, we arrived in the U.S. to begin our fifth Stateside Assignment (furlough). We will be here a few months before returning back to Guatemala for a new term. We are so thankful for this much needed break! We plan to soak in every minute of it!
We took this photo at our house in Guatemala before heading to the airport for our overnight flight to the U.S.
We enjoyed an early morning Chick-fil-A breakfast in the Houston airport.

When we landed in Jackson, our friends were there to greet us. That was a fun surprise.

Reagan, much to our surprise, had left work just to come greet us. That made us feel very loved!
The boys wasted no time reconnecting with friends. Soon after we got home, they enjoyed a sleepover and then a day of fun at a trampoline park.
We got a family membership to a local gym.
On every trip home, my family gives the boys a combined birthday celebration party at a local Mexican restaurant. This year we did it just a few days after we returned home. They get cards with money so they can go shopping.

David's hometown (Crystal Springs, MS) has an annual Tomato Festival the last weekend in June. We were excited to be home to attend it. On Friday night they have a street party with food, live music, and fireworks. We spent the evening walking around with our friends, the Browns, and also enjoyed seeing many people we love and have missed.
Lastly, our first Sunday back in the States was a fifth Sunday, so our home church was having a potluck meal after the morning service. It was a fun and delicious way to get back into U.S. church. Here are Cruz and his friend Jude during the Sunday lunch meal.
Next, I'll share photos from the month of July.
