We had the honor of taking 22 amazing kids to hume this year..incredible experience! We LOVE ministry and LOVE these kids! We were in our element and it was such a great week talking, and hanging out...they all came back filled with life! The verse of the week was" You are the salt of the earth." Matt 5:13
Probably a runner up for the annual christmas photo!
We are so grateful to our Papa T and Nana, tay and I were able to stay with them at there friends house all week, complete blesssing! This allowed me to be semi involved for chapel times and cabin times and other activities during the week! They love us so well! So thankful for them!
