We’ve had such a fun time getting to know @justintespejo and @rachelespejo! Thank you for coming and joining our #hphcteam for a few weeks to help us share stories of our work and life in South Africa. Fellow coffee lovers and new friends… come back soon! #getjoy #agwmafrica @marlenecspain #behindtheprayercard
A happy birthday outing and adventure! Coffee tasting, an unexpected hike around a farm, and yummy food to try! @reverendgoody #ourgoodwinjourney #goodwintravels #getjoy
Presents from across the ocean from @breakawaycruiseandtravel and presents from #goodwingirls to celebrate the big @reverendgoody birthday-eve! Celebrating all day tomorrow too… but for now, we’re checking out a book about everything. #ourgoodwinjourney #getjoy #birthdayboy
A #behindtheprayercard fun moment captured by @marlenecspain… or really, @justintespejo. Finding out we needed to pay the coffee shop to take pictures… climb over rocks, find cool plants and sit next to tiny figurines… and keep @reverendgoody from wandering everywhere because he paid for the experience. Always an adventure! #marriedtojeremygoodwin
