Welcome Home Ian & Jared ~ Goodbye Jana

Sunday, July 23

We were invited to Jere and Kristen’s for lunch to welcome home Ian and Jared from the school/science trip to Jackson Hole (Tetons), Wyoming, and say goodbye to Jana who was leaving on a two-week backpacking missions trip to Europe.

Flowers from Jana to her mom – a goodbye gift.

  Another gift of flowers

If I remember correctly, these were from Roy and Deb.

While waiting for lunch to be ready I walked out to see the chickens in their new fenced-in yard.

The peeps are really growing. The last time I saw them they were yellow fluff balls.

They were still too small to be in their fenced-in yard, but enjoyed this small pen.

After Roy and Deb arrived, he sat at the boys table – calling it the VIP table.

Being silly

This one will go on my refrigerator!

Ian getting his and Jared’s trip pictures set up.

He did a great job of photographing their trip.

Jared didn’t want to be bothered with a camera, but did a good job of helping Ian narrate their trip.

When the trip pictures were finished, Jere showed us a short clip of a DHIA PowerPoint video.

The traveling boys – Ian and Jared – were in Wyoming with teachers and schoolmates for one week.

I love – love – seeing pictures and hearing about our children and grandchildren’s trips and experiences.

Kristen, Jana, and Jere

If you follow my blog, you know I post pictures as I get to them – by date. By today’s post – August 5 – Jana’s team has only a few days left in Europe. They were in Switzerland today. If you want to follow her trip, you can read about it at this Facebook link – https://www.facebook.com/pg/Live1027Ministries/posts/?ref=page_internal or you can learn about 1027 Ministries at http://live1027ministries.weebly.com/.

I am so anxious to see her again and hear about her trip – and the experiences of challenging those she met to think about the life they are living.
