The kids waking up Babu.
Nick and I went to council at Trinity. It was fun. I wish I could have accompanied him on all the different ones. I am so thankful for Bethanie! She did the school run and gave them a fun afternoon so I could go to this!

***************************************
Later that afternoon... We pick up our kids from aunt Bethanie and headed to Austin. We got there at 7:30ish. We went to Pastor David and Michelle's house. They have a beautiful house! It was so great to get to sit and enjoy a meal and be introduced to some really awesome people. We had a great time, so great we didnt get to the hotel until 10:30. It was really good to talk to the missions pastors, they truely have a heart for the unreached.

There were a lot of people there. I won't name them all just incase I forget someone. But it was great to hang out with them all. Thank you guys for a great meal and fellowship!
SATURDAY
We didn't get to sleep in too late. The kids were up at 7, but after breakfast and a short walk for the kids we went to IKEA!!! yeah. I really like this store. The ideas are just so functional and the price is great. I bought a lot of material to take back with me and a few gifts for people with kiddos. So we spent the morning there then went to lunch. We went back to the hotel room to take a nap, swam and then got ready for a missions banquet that night.
Waiting to get the kids checked into the play group at IKEA.
The kids watching tv while we got ready. Spongebob and they drew picks of it while they were watching...
Saturday Night...
New Life Assembly of God.
One of their big windows was shattered by a weed wacker... it threw a rock. It made a cool picture but we felt bad for them. We were at Pastor Tim's church for a missions banquet. It was one of the best I have ever been too. They put so much effort into the meals, to make the really authentic. It was delicious.
The kids were outside on the playground before dinner.
The Claunch's were there too, assistant superintendant and missions director. Always good to see them.
Tai food and costa Rica.
future missionary table, normal food and West Africa table.
German table.
The Lord's and their girls.
What my kids did the whole time. They were not up to par this night. We had to be on them a lot.
See the elephant in this photo? she didnt know what she had drawn until after she was done. It is good!
