Josh-
Dad and I are so proud of you that you are doing this. Oma would be too. Have fun and be safe. Remember whom you represent. Be “Jesus” with skin on to the people you come in contact with.
Love,
Dad and Mom
Josh-
Great job we hear, with your pill sorting abilities! Keep up the good work. We miss you being at home,that means I have to shovel more snow! Please send us just a short note, if you can. The CHIX and the DUX play tonight in Boys Basketball. We’ll let you know what the final score is later. Love you much. You’re in other thoughts and prayers.
Mom (and Dad)
I miss you too, the place where we are building houses is 19 miles away but it takes about 90 mins. to get there. The showers are kind of cold and you can only take a 5 min shower.
Hi Josh
we went to the Chix-Dux game Oh my- that was a game. Tied up several times 20-21 at the half. Chix in the lead all the way. Final score 57-48 Chix won!!! and the Jr varsity did too 67 – 48. Did’nt go to Katies game It was too snowy and slippery. Bring home a pocketfrul of warm weather. Its coooold here. Keep up lthe good work you are doing. We are keeping
you and all your crew in our prayers. God Bless you all. Love Gram
Josh-
Thanks for the update. Hope everything is going good. I read that someone wrote that there are lots of beans. I hope that you are at least trying them. Take lots of pictures. Dad and I would love to go some time. Can you believe that the CHIX won! I had to clean with Amanda, and by the time Dad and I got near Family Fair, the traffic was coming out from the school parking lot. Oh well. I’m working a 3rd tonight, so I gotta go. I want to leave early, due to all the snow. Keep on doing what you’re called to do.
Love ‘ya,
Mom

Hey Josh, so sorry I did not get to call you before you left, too much going on. But now I want you to know how proud I am of you!!!!! Do the job! When you get home we need to get together so you can share everything you did. So store it all up for me, the sights, the sounds and the smells. So glad you like rice! Love you bunches, Nan
Hey Josh, Amanda’s right-you did leave at the perfect time, it’s freezing here! (my Mom and Katie have a snow day today so I’m sure Amanda does too). I hope you’re having fun and getting a lot of work done. We are all praying for you! Love you! See you when you get home!
Dear Josh,
nice job leaving all the snow shoveling to Amanda!! I would have done the same!!! I hope you are having lots of fun! we had a pretty nice snow day today!! i think i would die if i could only shower for 5 mintues….you enjoy it for me! see you when you get back!
~Kait
p.s. amanda said that if you dont come back that i could have your room…..:)
Josh-
The snow is about done falling for the rest of the week. They said we should be seeing the sun in the next few days. The air is cold! We hope that you take lots of pictures. We want to hear all about it when you get home. Don’t really know the scores of any other games or sports, since our “#1 sports fan” is out of the country:) Take care and remember that we love you! We will continue to pray for you and the rest of the team.
Mom (and Dad)
p.s. I keep telling Dad to send you a note. Kait came over here with Amanda on the quad. Amanda picked her up this morning.
Hey Josh – Hope things are going well in Guatemala. So happy you were able to take such an awesome trip. You are doing a great thing and you make us all proud. I’m sure you are missing your mom, dad and especially Amanda. Hopefully the weather is warmer where you are than here in Michigan. Can’t wait to hear all about your trip when you get home. Take care and be sure to try all different kinds of foods! Love you – Aunt Renee. Uncle Steve, Kayla and Devon
Hey Josh,
Have you started a love affair with the beans yet? When you get home we can do dinner, I will make a nice cassrole with beans!!!! And Rice!!!!!!!! HOpe all is well with you. We are trying to keep Manders in line, but its hopeless. You take good care of yourself and be helpful in as many ways as possible. Time goes quickly. YOu will be home before you know it. Can’t wait to hear about it!!!! Love you, Nan
Hey Josh! Hope your having a great time! My sister Heather has been writing about all the fun stuff you guys are doing and how early you have to get up in the morning! Hope your taking lots of pictures so Nick and I can see them at the next Birthday Party:) Have a safe trip home!
Hey Josh,
Saw your sunburned ears in the picture of the van, get some sunscreen. Katie’s team won their game, Tues. night. Varsity for Wyoming won too. Kate plays again tonight. I’m glad you had this opporunity to serve the Lord. Mission trips can be so fun, and I hope you are blessed as well as being a blessing to the people you are helping. Everybody here is doing well and miss you. I’m at Grandma’s cuz my e-mail does’nt work right now. Your dad is here too, just visiting. He says to keep up the good work. Do you like beans yet? Gramps says “Hi”. Well see you later.
Love Ya,
Aunt Sharon
Josh-
What shirts and pants do you have from Dad? I know you have a few pj pants, but not sure of the shirts. If you can, let me know. Otherwise, I don’t think any of them are real important. If the people over there can use them, go right ahead. Hope you’re doing well. Take care and God Bless You! (and all the others).
Love,
Mom
Josh,
I was home alone today. Mom worked a double shift. I did a few things at home, then went to grandpa and grandma’s after supper. Saw the pictures of the Team Vriesland’s work sites. Looks like you guys (and gals) are making good headway. Keep up the good work. Take lots of pictures. God Bless, Dad
Hi Josh,
I Pray you are having an awesome time. I know it is hard work but it is great seeing all the smiles isn’t it. Thank you for giving of your time!

Hey there Basket-Ball-Buddy
We just got home from the Chix ByronCenter game. CHIX WON!!
BC was ahead only once by one point just at the beginning of the second half Then the chix just slowly pulled ahead and won 54-45.
The girls did’t do so well though—they lost by about 30 points.
Saw some of the pictures of what you aare doing there. That is really great. When you all leave the people there will know that you have been there and brought them God’s love in the form of physical labor. They will see it for a long time and remember.
Will be praying for a safe return for all of you. Love ya lots Gram
Josh,
I just found out about this e-mail thing last night. Wish I had known about it before. It’s fun to hear about your trip and the great things you are doing. Are you giving your dad’s things away, or destroying them?
Can’t wait to get together when you get home. Want to hear all about it. Praying for all of you. See you soon.
Love ya,
Nancy
Josh-
You can leave Dad’s stuff behind if you want too. If they can use the clothes down there, great! You really can leave any of your clothes down there too, it’s up to you. Hope you are having a great time. Doing lots of work. Growing in your faith as well. See ‘ya in a couple of days. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Love ‘ya,
Mom
soo i hope you have a safe and good trip back home. unless you just wanna stay there then kait can have your room lol jkjk
its still cold here. so just be warned. love you bye
Josh-
Hope you have a safe trip back. We will be there to pick you up at church. I don’t have to work Monday p.m. Just let us know what time to be there. Remember that Sue said you could use Bryan’s phone. Maybe you’ll need to remind her of that. As I’m writing this, it’s snowing outside. BRRRR! Hopefully you will get this yet, if not-oh well. Then you’ll just have to read it when you get home. Lots of people have asked me about you. Love you!
Mom
Josh! I hope you had a blast! It was great getting to know you! God is definetly using you… I’m excited to see what He has planned for you Great Job on all your hard work!
