home ministry training

here we are at h.q. this week. we have been driving back and forth from marion to indy. a one hour trek each way, each day. cail has had a great time with mamaw (josh's mom). they have been playing with dora dolls, doing dishes (i.e. playing in the water), helping mamaw with the washing, watching the snow and loving all the one on one attention. averie is getting so big, she is crawling and talking (mostly dada dada) and eating everything in sight. she has been being loved on by all the staff here at global partners and my (becca's) mom who has been coming along with us to help out. we are tired from the late nights and overwhelmed by all the info but ready to get out there and catch up with our team. we look forward to visiting all our churches here in the states and having great times of fellowship with our support team state side. we miss all our "family" in new zealand and we really miss the sunshine, but we are loving the time here with our families. more later when our brains are rested from all this new knowledge.
