Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1Cor. 15:58

More Food, More Fun

I promise everyone, preparing for Africa is hard work! I mean we need to sample lots of good food and practice smiling, a lot. So here we are again, at the Shields residence, doing our best at eating and smiling and laughing.....

The girls.. (in our assigned seating arrangements)

The guys with Pat in mid-chew.

Hold us back from this Delicious guacamole and mashed potatoes!!

Don't worry, Pat is here! To the rescue!

And... All is well in the world.

Phuong showing Hans some sweet moves.

What would our blog be with out the random, yet classic Hans and Phuong shot?
