TGIF!

We have completed week 3 of our training. It has been another busy week for us. Tim and I had sessions on working with a team on the field. We are already getting to know the folks in Panama through emails. We also had the opportunity to hear about 4 different church plants that have begun recently in different areas of the world. There are missionaries who are on stateside that are here with us and they were able to share their real life experiences with us. It is exciting to hear real stories from real people. It makes us very excited to see what God is going to do with us as we go to serve.



Here is just a funny for you. Most of the men here on campus are participating in No Shave November. Tim is doing his part. :)

New Family Members

We would like to introduce 2 new members of our family. Meet Peter Panda and Jeremiah Pig. :) The girls are learning to take care of their new friends this week. They have to eat and brush their teeth. You even have to find time to play and read to them. They are both having lots of fun!
We are having a busy but good week so far. One of our quad mates is having a birthday today so we are having a little party for her tonight. She is 23. We are old. :)

Fall Colors

Happy Monday! I have been so busy telling you how cold it is here that I have forgotten to mention that it is SO BEAUTIFUL! This is the view from my home. :) Every week the leaves are more colorful.
Gracie Lynn went on a field trip to the Zoo today. She said there were lots of neat animals and they showed her all of the ones that live in Central and South America so she is going to help us find them when we get there. :)
We have conferences with the kids teachers this week. We had Trinity's this afternoon. Her teacher is such a nice lady. She was a MK (missionary kid) and she took her own kids to the field as well. So, she has lots of good insight to offer all of us. She really has a heart for working with these kids and you can sure tell! Trinity LOVES her and has really grown so much just in the past few weeks. We are so grateful for the incredible support system that is provided here.

I VOTED FOR THE CHICK!

Palin Power!!! We joined THOUSANDS of other Palin People at the football stadium last night and cheered Sarah on! It was so cool!!!!! It was like a big pep rally, lots of music and cheering. Sarah and Todd came out at the end and she gave a great speech. She seems (just like on tv) like such a great normal down to earth smart momma. Of course, she looked super cute on top of all that. :)
