We're still here..... or not?!?!

We are still here, but we have been soooooo busy this last month and a half. We spent a week and the beach with Bryan's school for a beach/missions trip with some of his students. We had a really good time and even the kids enjoyed ministering to the people in the nursing homes we went to. After that trip we were at Camp Lapihio for two weeks! We took our Senior High teens the first week and then Junior High the next. We had a blast! Even though it was very hot the first week, the kids did really well and had a great time. There were a lot of decisions made both weeks and I just pray that they (and I) will be able to stick to them. The week after camp we had our VBS at church. Our theme this year was "God's Big Backyard". We had a good time learning about serving others. The last night of VBS Dan the Animal Man was with us and brought some neat animals. He did a great job telling us about the animals, but also showing us how God uniquely created them and us. After VBS we had July 4th, spent some time with family and have tried to clean up some in the house! We are getting ready to leave on Saturday for our National Convention in West Virginia! I am looking forward to seeing friends and family while we are there. Here are some pictures of some of the things we have been doing lately! Hope you enjoy and maybe I can get better again at posting more regularly!
