Earth Day

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
-Mark 8:36

O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

It had been almost a year and a half since I was last home. Too long! I got to hang out with the fam, see both brothers, and even visit the grandparents and an uncle. We also snuck in a visit to the zoo, which is always fun.

This wasn't in the zoo, but it was the first time I met my little sister's puppy!

The pastor surprised me on Sunday by having me go to the front at the end to give everyone the chance to come by and shake my hand as they left. It was a great way to make sure that I got to greet everyone!

I really wish that flights were cheaper (and time was unlimited) so that I could see everyone more often!

Children's Day

Growing up, we always knew there ought to be a children’s day. After all, there’s Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, even Teacher Appreciation Day. We knew we were missing out!

Well not in Bolivia! There truly is a Children’s Day!

Easter

Happy Resurrection Day! What a beautiful south Florida day! My church here usually has 3 services on Sunday mornings to accommodate all of the people (around 500 each week). But Easter is a very special time for us. We put up a GIANT white tent in the parking lot and hold one service all together. It was a beautiful morning and it felt great to have the whole family together. In fact, we had over 1,000 people in attendance! God is pretty amazing. And I am incredibly grateful that he has given me this church to be a part of. I love my church!

Yard Work Day

Today was one looooong day of yardwork around the CIN Ministry House. We pulled weeks and piled them up into a mountain. We are blessed with such gorgeous surroundings to work in. But if anyone wants to come help us keep this giant lawn in check, don’t be shy!!
