January... bowl game, recruiting trip, baby Powell's shower & nursery

It's 2014! We have had a great January. We started the year (or ended last year rather- on Dec 31st) at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis watching Mississippi State beat Rice! We went with our good friends the Bowies.

Rainer then took off to the Northeast to meet up with two other Reign Ministries staff members. They drove all over- going to 7+ states. They spoke to students in schools and youth groups sharing about living missionally and recruiting for Royal Servants mission trips. A huge winter storm caused a bump in the trip but gave them an opportunity to serve- and plow snow for people!

While Rainer was gone my sweet friends threw me a baby shower! Also, my mom got to come a visit for a few days. We had a great time getting the nursery ready and doing house projects.
 
So cold in Mississippi, our pond froze!
