Summer Bible Institute, Teams and Fun Pictures

Conference Center and Summer Bible Institute:
After about 2 weeks of very hard work, Kyrk finished building 3 classrooms and a dorm room on the second floor of the conference center.  This was a large task and we were blessed with having several people come and help with the project.  We were also very thankful for our very talented carpenters and painters who faithfully worked each day helping to get the project finished.
Summer Bible Institute classes began on July 6 and it was an answer to prayer that they were able to use the newly built classrooms.
This year Kyrk was asked to teach one of the classes for Summer Bible Institute. He is teaching a class on the doctrine of sin, salvation and man.  It is a third year class and on Thursday (his first day of class) there were 6 students in his class.  He teaches every Tuesday and Thursday morning for 2 hours.  Pray that God uses Kyrk to clearly teach these doctrines and Bible truths and that the students would be able to clearly understand and apply what they are learning.

Teams:
Over the past few weeks we have been blessed with several work teams coming to visit and rebuild houses.  This is always a delight and encouragement to the people in the communities that they are working in and also to us missionaries. 
It has also presented some challenges for Kyrk to try and get all the building materials to the job sites while he was struggling with several mechanical problems with the trucks.  Pray that God keeps our trucks working well.

Fun Family pictures:
I thought it was time to include a few fun pictures of the kids.

We had to count thousands of Aqua Tabs to be sent to the schools and Anna was "helping."  Thanks Bri and Brooke for helping me with this huge task!!

Anna was more interested in climbing in the boxes.

Robert was gifted with a little pig from Ti Jean (one of our contractors)  He named it Thomas and loved to go feed it each day.  Sadly this pig died a week ago, but the next day Ti Jean brought another pig for Robert. The new pig is Lightning McQueen and so far it is doing well.
