Our Last Weekend in Texas

img_0243Our last weekend in Texas was spent packing, spending time with friends and going to an Art show.   Friday evening we attended a Kids Camp concert with friends and Winter went off to spend the night with her best buds.  Saturday was spent with last minute details and getting our shipment into storage.  David was our big helper especially when we were unloading at the storage unit.  img_4103

Saturday night we were able to relax at an art show.  The art show was put on by a group of college girls at Christ Chapel to help raise money for our ministry with Mission Aviation Fellowship.    The art work was amazing.  We enjoyed  getting to know the girls better, meeting new people and listening to the band play.   Some of our dear friends were also able to attend.  We are blessed as we spend time with others who have a heart for missions.  Their encouragement helps us in moments when we are tired and weary.
