Thanksgiving

We were so excited to go to Charlotte this year for Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful time! We are thankful the Lord protected us while traveling! Here are some pics....

We got to volunteer at Operation Christmas Child! It was awesome! We were sent to work at the "Shoebox Hospital" where we fixed boxes that were broken in shipment! It was fun!


Lindsey and John ran the Turkey Trot in Charlotte on Thanksgiving morning.


We had Thanksgiving at our Great Aunt Ruth's house in Bamburg, South Carolina!






Life is crazy right now getting everything ready for the Christmas and our program at school! Praying for strength to make it through!!

Flag Football Champions

John's church flag football team won the city championship today! It was quite exciting. They had to win the semi-final game to make it to the final. In the semi-final game they scored a touchdown to win with 30 seconds to go, and the championship they scored a touchdown to win with 8 seconds left!
