Blog Break

So, I wasn't planning on taking a break but it just kinda happened...

We are in a whirlwind of family, friends, churches, playgrounds, & restaurants - and we're enjoying every moment!  Just wanted to touch base with those of you who may not have Facebook and are wondering where we are in the blog world - we're alive and doing well!  We just sent out our May newsletter and prayer calendar.  If you didn't receive it and you'd like to - just send us your email address.  Here's a few pics of what we've been up to and I'll update again in a few weeks when we get back home!  Thank you for all of your prayers!

SW Mada Team Retreat

It's hard to believe that just 4 years ago, there were only 5 families on the island of Madagascar - and now there are 6 families and 4 singles on our team alone!  We make up a pretty big team and we have a few new faces, so it was nice to be able to get away for a couple of days to spend time together.

We enjoyed time together in worship and learning more about one another through various activites and sessions.  The scenery was beautiful and it was a nice to get out of our "bubble" of Tulear.

 our home for a few nights...

the lake had paddleboats...

 there was a fierce ping pong tournament...

 yes, adults still enjoy playing with play-doh...

 sweet & quiet kiddos...for a moment anyway!

We each appreciate your prayers for our families, our team, and the people of SW Madagascar!
