Hey there… we are back from Thailand! Did you know we’d gone? We went for our agency’s International Conference. We may not have said the exact location to protect those who are in ministry in other places. We had an amazing time. It was good to reconnect with who we are and why we do what we do. And we were so encouraged to hear stories from all around the world of what God is doing and how He is expanding His kingdom. We met with three families that we went to candidate school with in Arizona three years ago which was such a joy to reconnect and hear what God is doing in their corner of the world!
So what did we do for a week? We worshiped, we listened to conference speakers, we prayed for the nations, we talked and talked and talked, we got Thai massages, we rode elephants, went to the zoo, at unhealthy food at places like McDonalds and KFC. And as Tyler told his grandma, we ate tons of doughnuts. Which was fine for him as we were talking this week… since he has not an ounce of body fat! But God was so faithful to renew our spirits and minds with passion for HIM and for what we do. Robert has spent the last week preparing and planning for our Strategy team retreat this weekend as we get ready to kick off a new year of ministry to reach teens in Albania!

Here are a couple of links to our pictures, posted on Facebook if you have not already seen them! Check out the vivid and amazing colors!
