Mexico..........Take 4

Jason began going to Mexico after his 9th grade year. The goal was to make relationships and help people. No preaching. Just love on those who needed love and work long hard hours. This is Jason type of Mission Trip. He worked hard and loved the children he helped provide for. This is Stephen's third year and he hasn't met too many kids that didn't like him. That was the easy part. The hard part was the hard work. But working for those who don't have what you have and probably never will makes it easier.

This was Katie Ann 2nd year and she left off where she was last year...painting. She can paint and this year she was able to work with both of her brothers.

Stephen working on the "ranch" where the single Mom and her children are staying under the care of Pastor Rubin and his family.

First mission trip with her brother Jason who will be leaving for college in 2 months.

How does your garden grow???

This spring ( who am I kidding)..... Every spring I have great ideas for gardening, then life or poison ivy gets in the way. But here are a few things from our yard that God's handwork without human influence grew.

Roses from new rose bushes.

Iris flower that I did think out the bulbs but will need to do again. The one flower that reminds me of Auburn. Our yard and neighborhood was filled of azaleas in the spring time. The dirt in Tennessee does not have what they need to flourish. We do have two bushes and this is the best we have seen the azaleas bloom.
