23 Weeks, 5 Days


Dear Baby Batts #2,

Today we went into Anchorage for Family Date Day! After snagging some coffees, we heading to Kohl’s where we bout over $300 worth of clothes (for daddy, Ruthie, and YOU!) for less than $2.50. What?! Yes, it’s true! You got a cute little shirt and some ruffle-butt pants. Can’t wait to see you in them! We looked at Target and Old Navy, too, then ventured into Lowes to buy a gift card.

We came home and got ready for our first mission trip meeting: Daddy and I are leading a small group (10-12 people) to Ghana this December! You’ll be coming along (mostly in a front carrier) and I can’t wait to see you crawling under the African sun with the Gelatt kids. As soon as you’re born, we’ll get you a Passport so that you’re all ready to go!

We are so excited to be involved in international missions as a family. The Lord is so good to open doors like this for us. Whether we are doing VBS at an orphanage, working on bikes/tractors/trucks, or just visiting with locals, I hope the Lord uses all of us (including you, my little will-be-six-month-old) to further His kingdom. Let’s just be faithful to do what He puts before us!

Love,

Mama
