God’s Promise

Little did we know when we started this particular mission that D would be working long hours the week…

Jess (American Girl) Book Review

Posted in Reviews

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on an archaeological dig? Well, Jess is a 10-year-old girl who gets the experience of a lifetime when her parents take her to Belize with them for an archaeological dig.
