On Saturday we visited Lake Fort Peck.  The lake is so pretty.  It's so big, it looks like an ocean.  Some of our kids braved the cold water.  The picture above is Serena.  We had a nice time being outside and enjoying God's creation.

First day of school.

We look forward to meeting he following kids later this week and next week:

It's amazing being surrounded by kids from around the globe.  God is good.  These kids are fabulous!

We are excited that Serena and Gabby have arrived at the dorm.  Serena arrived on Friday and Gabby arrived today.  The girls wasted no time today going outside and playing on the hay bales.  In the picture above from left to right is Morgan (Randy and Missy's daughter), Gabby and Serena.  

Tomorrow Randy is preaching at the EMB church for Pastor John.  We look forward to introducing Serena and Gabby to the community.
