I think it is high time to have a fun blog post! After all, being a missionary isn't all hardship and suffering. The Lord gives adventure and fun and, well, life is life whether you are in the states or overseas. Here are some pics and videos of our daily life and recent adventures.
PILANESBERG GAME RESERVE: day trip over Christmas break
 |
| Naturally, since the girls were at an amazing game reserve they had the most fun camping out in the back of the Landy, reading books and playing games. |
 |
| AJ is on the lookout for animals with binoculars in hand. |
 |
| Hippo's! |
 |
| Lioness tucked behind the tree. |
 |
| This elephant was far in the distance and then ended up walking right in front of us. Want to see the video of that? |
|
I am not zooming in, I am panicking, and Savannah is praying that Jesus will keep us safe. It was so COOL!
WEEKEND PROJECT: Putting up a tree swing
 |
| Robb has climbed to the limb needed for the tree swing, has drilled and is securing the hardware. (In the background you can see the trampoline Santa gave the girls for Christmas. We love having a backyard!) |
 |
| Chloe, and all of us girls were a bit nervous for him. |
 |
| He did it! A tree swing has been installed and little girl giggles are filling the air! |
SUN CITY: day trip over Christmas break
 |
| A water park and hotel resort, we just stayed for the day. Thankfully it is just 2 hours away. The girls had an awesome time. |
 |
| It was so pretty! |
 |
| Robb was the wave pool guy. The girls just couldn't get enough of those waves! |
RANDOM DAILY LIFE
 |
| We are so fortunate to have received so many packages over the holidays! |
 |
| Eating an African meal. Holding a chicken foot, which I proudly ate! |
 |
| Chloe working hard at preschool . . . in her own special way. |
 |
| Like many of you, we left out milk and cookies for Santa! |
 |
| We baked Christmas cookies . . . |
 |
| And we enjoy going to game reserves in our area for Sunday picnics. |
So, in a lot of ways our lives are just like yours! Some things are different, better or worse depending on your perspective and life situation. Nonetheless, we couldn't do any of this without you and the Lord. You play a HUGE role in our lives and effectiveness here! Thanks for making our lives so rich with your love and support! We love collaborating with you in prayer as you lift us up and we lift you up to our Great God.
Until next time, may the Lord bless your daily lives and your ministry to your families and those around you as you enjoy God, love Him and love others.
