Logan's Thanksgiving Performance

Don't forget to mute the music...

Happy Thanksgiving 2010!

Missions Training International

As many of you know we attended our final training in October. It was held at Mission's Training International (MTI) in Monument Colorado! At first we were not too excited to go because it cost a lot of money and was three weeks longs. We thought, "What could we do for three whole weeks?" Well God blew our socks off once again!!! The training was amazing! Here is just a taste of things we learned and did while we were there!

*Meet amazing people who are on similar paths!
*How to exit our world and enter others
*Conflict management with family, teams, and people we will work with
*Paradox (two feelings with one experience)
*How to handle transition
We were even taken hostage in a little box with 21 people
(that was an experience)
*Priorities
*Longevity
*Healthy Good-byes
*Importance of Sabbath and Rest
*SO MUCH MORE
Our MTI Family!

What was really great was the kids that their own class and were learning the same things at their age level! We were truly blessed by the training and feel that we are better equipped to leave for New Zealand!Aunt MichelleAunt Sandy

Halloween

We were so blessed to be in Colorado for Halloween. We were able to spend it with Paul, Alison, Jared, Drew, Laney, and Lynn Marien. We just love spending time with them. The little ones caught on to trick or treating pretty quickly and starting saying, "we love trick or treat!"

Logan's Arm

Many of you may already know, but on October 4 the kids and I (Erin) were playing at the mall play place. Logan and another little crashed and Logan broke his arm. It was pretty bad. We could not move him because it was like a noodle and had to be stabilized. In the end we had to call 911. The fire department came and then the ambulance. Poor Logan had to ride in the ambulance alone because I had both Landon an Levi with me. Bryan met us at the hospital where they sedated Logan to manipulate the arm so he could go home until he had his surgery. Unfortunately the sedation did not work and Logan could feel it as they broke his arm back into place! Two days later he was in surgery to get a wire put him to help the bone grow back the right way. As of today his cast is off and he is doing good. He will still have to have one more surgery to get the wire out!

Girls Time

I know this post is a little late, but better late then never :)! For my birthday I got to have a fabulous Girls weekend! My sister, mom and I went on a 3 night cruise. It left from LA and went to Ensenada! It was short, but we had a blast. We got to hang out, eat lots of food, sit by the pool, and of course shop!
