Our trip to Teen Missions

Ryan & I have really been missing our time at Teen Missions. So we decided this year we would take Micah down to visit the place that was so special to us & do a little volunteering. We spent 4 days at Teen Missions. I spent my time volunteering with Munchkin Missions, their daycare program. This was nice for Micah & I because we got to spend most of the day in an airconditioned room & take a daily nap from 1-3pm. Ryan spent his time working with FTM's (Former Team Members) & SB's (Special Blessing Training - their discipline program). Ryan really enjoyed working with the kids & felt like this was his way of influencing the kids. He had an amazing opportunity to develop presonal relationships with many of these kids. While at TMI we did discover that Micah has his father's tendancy to sweat like crazy.


We were fortunate that there were a few extra seats on our flight out to FL. Micah was able to sit in his carseat for the whole trip, which helped him sleep for the whole trip :-) Micah was facinated by the headphones & watching the movie ("The Shaggy Dog").

Micah plays in Munchkin Missions. All of the other kids (4) were girls & they were'nt too faund of Micah's rough ways.




Micah's Girlfriends - we happen to support both of these girl's families, so it was exciting to finally meet them.


This is us with Jessica Jones, she is a young girl from our chuch out in Lakewood, Co. We have been trying to convince her for a number of years to go on a team. This year she decided to go to the Faroe Islands (just north of Great Britian). We were able to spend some great time with her at Boot Camp while we were there.


This is us with Megan, she lead with us to Poland. Megan was leading the team to India.


Amazingly enough it did not rain at all until our last day there, Commissioning Day. Micah had a great time cooling off by playing in the rain. He discovered that a pretty steady stream of water would pour off of the bigtop tent when it was wet & he LOVED to stand under it & get soaked. And he was TOTALLY soaked by the time we brought him home.
