Well, I promised some pictures of our church retreat, and finally am getting around to posting them. We got away for a night and a day to a retreat center called Casa Campestre. I think everyone really enjoyed it. We had some time to share our vision with the church, classes for the kids, and of course, lots of time for fellowship and games. Unfortunately, Josh got really sick half-way through and we had to bow out early, but I think it went well over all. It seems like these special times are critical in helping people make their decision for Christ, and 2 men, Javier and Alvaro, were baptized last Sunday. Praise God! Last Sunday as well, we had a car wash and hamburger sale to help the youth raise money for a youth conference trip to Asuncion, Paraguay in January. Josh is plannning on accompanying them - it will be at least 2 days in a bus to get there. So there's lots going on as always.
Gary and Josh and the kids - we had some team prayer and reflection time the night before the church retreat.
One of our kid's classes - we used the theme superheroes of the Bible.

It's so good to see those faces. Praise God for the baptisms and the growth in the youth group. I can't get over how big Michaela, JuJu and Nathan look in that one picture. How the potty training coming?
