Refuge Fieldtrip!

This past Sunday most of the Refugee's went on a fieldtrip (sorta).

We went to the Amboy Nursing Home.

We are going to be doing a church service every 4th Sunday!

How many people can you fit around a piano???

This was the first service so we were all a little nervous...

Well nervous isn't really the right word, pretty much we were

just being shy :) I don't really know why, we just were.

Had Dawn been holding all of us we would've been fine,

but she wasn't , so it was kind of a quiet service :)

The people really seemed to enjoy it (they especially

enjoyed Isaac and Kaleb).

We all put on big smiles as we were going in the doors,

and you know what? We had a great time!

Even Joschi got to go!

He did great too.

My dog would've freaked out and planted her caboose in a corner...

Its amazing how something that seems so small to us

could bless anyone. But we had people laughing, crying and smiling.

Sometimes its easy to think that we're making a difference only when

we do something big and noticeable, but really, its the small things

that matter. If our going and singing/praying with people at a little Nursing Home

made somebody happy, it was WAY worth it!

So, challange time!

Do something nice for someone that you

wouldn't normally think about.

It could just make their day...

Happy Birthday Christian!

Favorite Bible Verse: John 3:16

One of the craziest things you have ever done: One Sunday at church

some of us tried licking and putting the silver part of a gum wrapper on

our foreheads and seeing who could keep it on the longest. It burned!

We all had red marks on our foreheads afterwards!

Coming Soon!

Well, I had good intentions of updating this blog

Monday... But as you can see, its Thursday and still not done :P

So! Coming soon I'll be updating!!!

(hopefully today)

If you are brave enough

If you are brave enough to visit the Refuge on your Birthday...

You never know what might happen to you!

Beings there is was an over-abundance of confetti Dawn thought it would be the perfect way to celebrate the Twin's birthday. :D
So...

Everyone joined in!
Even the little kids joined!
It was tons of fun!
At least for those throwing it!
But... I have to admit it did end up in the oddest places!
Hmm... How come the ones who didn't get in on the fight are the ones cleaning it up? ;)
