an awesome retreat!

 Every year we look forward to our missionary retreat! 

All the NTM missionaries, whether studying Spanish,
working in the city at the office or living out in the tribe,
we all gather together once a year for 5 days of
fellowship and encouragement. 

 

Here we are in the air-conditioned chapel where we 

were very encouraged and also challenged by 

two different speakers this year.  It was good stuff!

The pool is where all families with kids spend most of the

afternoon!  It was SO hot this year that the pool felt more 

like a bathtub!  Our middle son (above & below) started
swimming and going under water this year!

The boys had a blast with all their friends!  

They don't get to see some of them very often!

One mom made a huge tub of dry beans and rice for the 

little ones and they loved it!

 

The boys had a lot of fun hunting for frogs and 

cicadas this year and found a cool spider!

 We really enjoyed the fellowship with our coworkers!  

 By the end of the week, the busy days and late night

talks caught up to us!  We were all pretty tired
but very content!
