We Arrived in South Africa!

                         
Well, we all made it safe to Chicago, then to London, and finally to Johannesburg, South Africa. After a long drive we showed up at the Pines with 12 kids in tow! After getting settled we took a tour of the property and got the schedule for the week. So we are settled in and we are having a Bible Club for the kids at the Pines as well as the children that live at the #7 camp down the road. We are excited to be here and even more excited to see what God will do in and through us over then next 2 weeks! Thanks for your support and prayers and be sure to look for updates and pictures to be posted as the activities get going!

Hello Ryan,
This your Dad we are glad you made it, I know it was a long trip but worth it. We are so proud of you and all you have done to go on this trip. We dropped Hunter off in OKC this weekend so Mom and I are kid free. But we miss you boys already. Have a good time over there and look for God in all you do, he is there with you. Will type more tomorrow. We love you and miss you. Bye

Didn't realize I would miss you so much, even though I don't see you every day,anymore. Of course,I am proud of you, but basically the same as always cause you hear God and obey. That gives Grammie peace of mind. Thank you. I love you. Treat them with love and make God smile!
