April & May with the Powells

If you're looking for our Needs Gear-up List you can find it HERE

We are busy! It's been a great couple of months in our house. We spent Easter in East Tn with Lindsey's family. We went on a family camp trip. And we took the youth group on an overnight canoe trip on the Mississippi river. Our sights are on the summer now! We have been preparing for months and will continue to prepare these next few weeks for our summer mission trip. Alice can now say "Costa Rica" and "Hola"... so we are set! Mitch is sleeping great at night and is such a happy boy.

Here's what's been going on:

We were in 3 handmade canoes 
with Quapaw Canoe Company
