Our August

We stayed in Costa Rica for a few days of family vacation once the team returned to the US. We enjoyed being together as a family and relaxing after a busy and flourishing mission trip. It's always crazy to come home after being gone for 10+ weeks. We have lots of house upkeeps and life to catch up on. We visit with friends and family and prepare for the school year ahead. This year we have the privilege of leading the Youth Group at our church. We had our kick-off event this past Sunday. It went great! As we are plugging back into the community and finding our places to serve, we also spend some time sharing about what God did this summer on mission trip.

Curtis recommended a great restaurant!
