2013- Deputation- Missions conference! (Canton, OH)

Missions conferences are always a wonderful time to connect with church families. You have more time than just one meeting, and hopefully the church family can get to know you (the missionary) more also! Pastor Mike and Rachel Frazier were a blessing to us, along with the rest of their church family! We are thankful that they are a part of our ministry supporters! 

Other missionaries in this conference with us: 

Sherwoods- Panama

Hendersons- Tanzania

Georges- limited access nation

Staleys- Ireland

Scrapbooking- Friends and Family- The Workmans!

We always have a blast when we go to the Workmans. Here's some photos from our time there in August of this year.

Journaling:

The Workman family has always been special friends to my family. They were adoptive grandparents and uncle (Doug) and aunt (Beth) since I was little, so I’m so happy that they are that to my kids now that I have a family of my own! We are friends by birth, but family by spiritual birth! We always have fun playing games (Monopoly deal and D-scribe) when we are there!

Scrapbooking- deputation- Blizzard Nemo

What an adventure it can be to live the nomad life and be in places you never expected to be , experiencing things you've never experienced! This past February was one of those times when we were in Boston during Blizzard Nemo!

Journaling:
 February found us traveling to
the NorthEast. We were nuts, and we knew it, but many churches said, come on up! So, when Blizzard Nemo was predicted, we hunkered down in a hotel for a couple of days and watched the skies dump over 24 inches of snow on us! After it quit Ben had to shovel out the van (snowdrifts 6ft. high and wide), and the children had to play in the snow even though it was freezing and windy. Nat even lost a boot in a snowdrift! A fun, but cold experience
