September Hodgepodge

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all doing well. Things are good here, just busy as usual! School started on Tuesday, so we're trying to get back into the swing of things.

These are some pictures from Katie's missions trip. They ministered to over 2,500 people and reported 328 salvations! It was a great experience for her. It definitely made her appreciate the little comforts we tend to take for granted!
They took bucket showers and slept on floats while they were in Mexico. They went from one little town to another doing dramas, and would talk to people and pray with them through translators.
She stayed at a Christian college while they were in Guatemala, so she actually had a bed and running water there. They ministered to school children during that part of their trip.
She said the people were very friendly, receptive, and hospitable- willing to share whatever they had.



Katie is the one in the green shirt.

My mom made this beautiful quilt and entered it into the West Virginia State Fair last month. She worked on it about three years. Isn't it beautiful?! She won second place for it. I didn't see the first place winner's quilt, but I can't imagine it being more beautiful than Mom's. This is a stack and whack quilt. Everything about it is just so pretty!


Katie started 10th grade on Tuesday. Oh my, how time flies!

I hope you all have a great week! Thanks for stopping by!

Take care,
