Amazing Race and Easter Weekend

 Caleb and Mikaela drove up from Salt Lake City on Thursday night to visit for Easter weekend. Seth went thrifting with them on Friday afternoon, and we all went to Cloverdale's Good Friday service that evening. Mikaela and Caleb helped us with the youth group's annual Amazing Race on Saturday.  On Easter Sunday we celebrated Christ's resurrection, and Seth also made profession of faith.  Such a blessing for Seth (and us!) that Caleb and Mikaela could be with us.   We enjoyed Easter dinner with the family and dear friends from church. I have only a few weekend pictures, but lots of memories!

Not a super great picture, but this is Russ praying for the three young men who made profession of faith. You can see Seth's hand on Russ' back.😍 

Florida Spring Break

Seth, Russ, and I flew to Orlando for Ligonier's National Conference during spring break. We enjoyed three days of outstanding messages and great fellowship with our housemates. 

Seth with his cousin Jaron and Jaron's girlfriend.

This was everyone that stayed at the house. What a fun crew!

 

Walked to Mcdonald's for an ice cream cone and a coffee between sessions.

Enjoying the beautiful Florida weather between sessions.

In the foyer of the Orange County Convention Center, they had two areas of cool hydroponics. I just had to take a picture for my plant-loving Caleb.

The Gutenberg Bible from the traveling Bible museum that was set up near the other exhibitors. 

Even though the conference days were quite busy, we had plenty of time to relax around our Airbnb.

Russ rescued this little guy from the middle of the road. He deposited him in the grass near a retention pond.

Beautiful sunsets for our evening walks!

On Saturday after the conference, we made a quick trip to Cocoa Beach. A beautiful afternoon to enjoy the Atlantic Ocean!

Church at St. Andrews on Sunday morning.

On Monday we took a boat tour in Winter Park and after a yummy al fresco lunch we found a park to walk around to enjoy the beauty of Florida,

On our way home!
