The end of the year...

To wrap up the last week of school, most of our classes had the opportunity to practice their dodge ball skills by playing against one other person.  The competitive side of students was seen as they chose which friend to battle against.  Each student also received a folder with exercises and scriptures that they learned during the year. 

Allison and I are flying to Brazil tomorrow and will be there until my birthday, which is the twenty eight of June!  We are both extremely excited for the change that is going to take place within us as well as others.  Jesus is going to continue the good work which He has begun in us, and will continue to change us from glory to glory.  Change can be a wonderful experience when it is the Lord who is lovingly and gently changing us. 

Please pray for strength, protection, and favor as we visit the seventeen different churches during the month of June.  Thank YOU!
