OUR VISIT TO OAXACA

Sweet memory from Oaxaca.  While visiting last month we were able to stay in the same house where we lived.  The kids are standing by a screen door that my dad and Carl made on one of my parents' trips to visit us in Oaxaca!

We enjoyed eating delicious Oaxacan food - fresh from the comal!

Sweet friendships rekindled!
 Tamara's mom and I were pregnant at the same time and Kaylee and
 Tamara spent their first two years together before we moved to
 Jacksonville after Kaylee turned 2! 

So fun visiting friends and places that are so special to us!

Molly helping to make tortillas!

Mireya and Raul - a beautiful couple that made our 4 years in Oaxaca so special!

The kids had a great time too!


This is Kaylee sitting in the sun in the exact spot where she spent
 lots of time as a newborn trying to get rid of jaundice!

Beautiful Oaxaca

Another precious family that is forever close to our hearts!

Project for Hope

Brag  On - our morning encouragement time!

 Molly and her sweet friend, Ella.
 So glad God brought these sweet girls together to experience missionary kid life together!

Our "big kids"

Another team from Emmaus helping out by painting soccer goals.


And, of course, after painting the goals you have to try them out with a little soccer.


The little kids enjoyed  "playing" with (or on)  Jeff.

Worship time

Our teachers joined the team for dinner one night.
 It was great to hear  their hearts' for the kids and ministry.

We played a game where you wrote down all your favorite
 things and then tried to find someone with the same favorite as you.
 It was a great way for the team to get to know the kids a little bit.
