Wings Training Camp

Bowen has been selected to run for Wings of America in the national cross country championship in February. This is a team comprised of Native American kids from all over the country. He was selected because of his great performances in cross country this year. As a part of preparing for the race, the kids were all invited to participate in a training camp for a week over Christmas break in Albequerque. The director for Wings is a guy named Dustin Martin. Dustin was actually a high school runner on the Wings team when Theo was the coach many years ago. We got to travel with him and his teammates to New York for their race. What a great memory, and a fun connection. Bowen's teammates came from mostly the southwest, and he made some new friends during the week. We are looking forward to an exciting race experience in February in Florida.

Corbin Calls

Corbin has been in the mission field for just a little over three months. I have missed him fiercely! We got to chat for about an hour using Facebook. He looks fantastic and sounds like he is really getting settled into his work. Just like with Drake, this was the very best part of our Christmas celebration.

Christmas Eve 2017

A few days before Christmas, Donny and his family came for a visit. Donny has been working as a contractor over in Kuwait since April, and he is on leave for a month. We spent our Christmas Eve with them, Tim's family, and Grandma and Grandpa Martin having dinner and making little gingerbread houses. We love being able to spend time with our loved ones.

We LOVE Missionaries

We try to have the missionaries in our home as often as possible to feed them and listen to their messages. We are also grateful for the people that are listening to the messages from our missionary.
