Deck the halls!

Well friends it has been another BUSY week as we get ready to head home for a couple of weeks. We're excited to spend time with many of you who stand behind us as we serve here on the mission field and we're excited to get some rest. Some serious, much needed REST!

We're grateful to those of you have served with us and given over the course of the year and we look forward to what God has in store for 2017. 

A few have asked how they can be a part of our ministry here in the DR and so we're including a link to our support page if you'd like to be a part! There are ways you can give monthly or a one time gift.

We'll try and be in touch over the holidays - but if not, please understand :) We're celebrating the birth of our Saviour with our family too! 

Here are some photos of a few activities we had with the kids over the last week. Can you see why we need some rest?! :) Hope you take some time from your busy Christmas schedule for some rest too as we celebrate the GLORIOUS coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Game day with the boys.

Proud of these kids :)

Christmas party at Youth Group

Got the kids, haha! Gave them a "dirty" diaper to eat. (Just a Snickers folks!)

More games!

Bowling with some of our top kids this year!

Most of these kids had never held a bowling bowl
and were bowling over a hundred!

Proud of their growth and testimonies!

This is US!

I don't do this very often on my blog, but those who aren't on my Facebook sometimes miss out on our random photos of life. Instead of a fancy dancy blog... here is a bunch of photos to show you what we've been up to over the last few weeks. 

WARNING. Some serious cute shots of Josiah are included :)

ENJOY!

HAHA - This is what full-time ministry looks like when you're a full-time momma too :)

In the afternoon we went classroom to classroom instead of
with the whole school. 

The students loved it!

Some of our older teens leading the games. #discipleship

The guys took turns preaching in different classrooms.

We are thankful for the opportunities to serve, rest, laugh and cry with those we "do life" with here in the Dominican. 

Although we are looking forward to some vacation time over Christmas we love what we do and love who we do it with!
