Community

I don't usually post many pictures so I'm trying to take and post more.  Today being the first Saturday of the month we have community work day.  So after morning prayers we get together and are given different jobs around Big Woods.  These pictures are of Mom and the little kids, the blond ones are all our kids. ;)

 

 The best way to help little people work is to turn into a game!

 Because of the storm we had we have tons of branches everywhere, the job of the kids was to pick them up and put them into piles.

It was fun to watch them, they were so cute. :D

 

 



They had to see who picked up the most the fastest.

I tried to get a picture of our house but I didn't quite get all of it. :)

Good job!

 

I hope everyone has a great day!

Stateside Mission

A week ago today my father, and three of my siblings, and I came back from Joplin MO. We went there to lead a work mission trip.  Six students from New York came down to help work on some projects. I wasn't very excited about going on this trip, I would have much rather stay at home with the rest of my family. But God did amazing things on that trip.  Every night I went to bed sore and aching, and every morning I woke with renewed strength. I made some wonderful friends, and watched the group turn into MISSIONARIES.  Its amazing how close people become when working selflessly side by side for the furthering of the Kingdom.   Being back on the mission field changed my heart. It's amazing how much God has to do that for us. And yet He never stops.
I'm very excited to go on more mission trips this year. :)

God Bless!

The farm

We are finally getting settled out here at my Grandparents farm. We have tons of work to do, weeding, taking care of our animals(7 goats, 20 or so chickens, 10 ducks, 22 I think, sheep, and 2 dogs) Wow I didn't realize we had that many animals! Even though we have so much work to do we have lots of fun.
