I love this picture of Dawn and Breanna. Dean, Dawn, Tyler and Breanna came down to visit last weekend. Although our time together was very short, we sure did enjoy them being here. We were able to take out the pontoon boat on Saturday and it turned into a beautiful day. We saw dolphins and manatees and had a great cookout. I sure hope they come back soon. It was so hard to say good-bye. I miss my sister terribly, but luckily we get to talk at least once a day!!!I can never thank them enough for opening up their home and letting us stay with them over Christmas. We were there for 18 days! That's a long time to have our family around! LOL It was such a wonderful time together --I hope they feel the same! :)
The next picture was taken on the beach on Tuesday. We picked up Shannon from work and surprised him with a picnic supper on the beach. He has been working so hard and we wanted him to relax a little. It was a great evening!
We are starting to make our plans for the summer. We were asked to lead the teen team to Samoa. It is a little scary to think of raising the cost for the kids to be on teams this summer. It will cost $ 6000.00 to take Maddie and Zoe with us. Taylor and Canaan's cost for their teams will be about $3000.00 each also. That's $12,000.00!!! I get worried everytime I think about it, but the Lord keeps telling me to trust Him. I know He is faithful and He will supply our every need. It's my desire for our whole family to be a part of the ministry here at Teen Missions. The summer teams are the main focus of the year here in Florida. We are trusting the Lord to provide. We are planning some car washes and looking for ideas to help raise the funds. If any of you have any ideas, please share them.Tonight we are planning a movie night with the BMW students. Nacho Libre is on the must see list! HAHAH It should be an entertaining evening! Staying up all night sure is hard when you are over 40! LOL
