Spring Break :)

Hey everyone, we hope you are all doing well! The last few weeks have been pretty swell for us. Spring Break came and saved John from his crazy school schedule and gave both of us some much needed rest and time together. We were able to stay in a friend's ranch house outside of Wisdom, MT. (Thanks Anne!) There we found ourselves out of cell service and without internet for three days. It was grand to have some down time, go on walks, play board games, watch movies, take naps, read fun books, and of course eat some ice cream. Here are some pictures from our time there, one showing John's ingenuity building his own ramps to be able to change the oil in our little car. :)

A little quiet morning time

Four logs and two boards later the car is up and ready!

We were completely surrounded by mountains!

Over the end of Spring Break John was able to visit his sister Esther in California. It was such a blast, including an all day deep sea fishing adventure, check out these photos!

The eyes on this fish freak me out!

Easter was so great, I was able to go to a passion play here in town and even a sunrise service in the mountains with some friends. (We love you Elsens!) We are now back to life as we know it in lovely Missoula and are looking ahead to summer days in Kenya. We are beginning to get the necessary immunizations and it seems like at least every other day we have a support envelope trickle in from one of you incredible people. We are seeing our needs met by our faithful God who loves us with steadfast love. We are almost halfway in reaching our support goal! We've been able to start communicating with a majority of the students who are going on the project this year via facebook and I've begun editing the praise song book we will use during our corporate worship times in Kenya. It's all becoming a little more real and I know that once John is through with his school semester it will be even more of a reality that we are going! Thanks for loving us and partnering with us, we put it all in the hands of Him who is capable of more than we could ask or imagine! Talk to you soon :)
