Hello November

October has been busy, as most months are. We started the month off with our Parents Weekend Dinner. A few of our upperclassmen prepared a wonderful meal, we were able to meet some of the freshmen families, and enjoy the wonderful fall weather. The following weekend was momentum, (Momentum is our fall retreat, a time for us to bond as a church family) we packed up the Miami vans and headed to Camp Swoneky in Oregonia Ohio. We had two cabins, a worship hall and plenty of field space to play ultimate Frisbee and capture the flag. Dr. Ken Dillard led us through a study through Acts. God is so great! After a long but restful weekend everyone headed back to prepare for Midterms.

Tuesday Nights (Children’s/Youth Night) is still going, we have 9 students/adults that have committed to teach or help out on Tuesdays. Please continue to pray for the children as they learn who God is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, Pray for the Students as they teach and interact, that they may reflect God’s Love and message to each child in a way they understand.

With less than 8 weeks until Christmas break please pray that the lives of the students will be radically changed, that they will recognize God and fully commit to follow Him.  Less than 2 months and the East Asia team will be heading out! God has been faithful and we know He will continue to make the funds available for each of the students and staff as they prepare for the trip.

We thank you for your prayers and support; they mean a lot to us all!

TRAINING:

For the last two day I have been training 3 ladies from our hospitals, it just reminds me how much I really love to train!

CHINESE CUPCAKES AND FALL FESTIVAL

Josh mother and I have this tradition of making crazy cupcakes for the fall festive each year and this year we went ethnic!

HAYRIDE

We had a bonfire minus the fire…there was a no burn warring out for the county we were in. But it was fun we had microwave smores and went on a hay ride, had trouble remembering campfire songs but oh well J.

BABY SHOWER THINGS

This weekend we had The Teasley “Sprinkle” my mom deiced that since they had already have kids we should do something other than a “shower” so we had “sprinkles” for both sisters. This one was co-ed so Josh came too. It was super funny I was in charge of games, so we had monkey trivia and Guess how big the belly was… the dad’s belly and counts the bananas. We also had a guest appearance from the Prego Monkey…played by Christina.
