Missionary Merrill

The USA side of Children's Cup celebrated Christy Merrill's commissioning with a cookout (okay, barbeque, for you NC'ers) and all the grandkids too.


(back row:Pat Conti, Dave, Josh, Dan, Ty VanRensburg; next row: Tori, Christy, Shannon, Vicki, JD; next row: Lincoln, Vaughn, Rhodes or maybe it's Rhett; front row: Monet, Monroe. One of the R twins wouldn't come get in the photo.)


Christy just fit right in with our crazy crew--and the grands love her for reading the storybooks she brought and the sidewalk chalk drawing she did for them.

She's gonna make a great missionary.

Welcome on board, Christy. Your life is about to change...

Sounds like you had fun. How have you been? I know I haven't posted in a while. I switched to wordpres and I am in summerschool right now. Its been kind of crazy. Would it be possible to get a children's cup cup to fill with change without ordering it. I will send Dan an email, if he can send one with Tori I wil just send him a dollar, I would rather give the shipping money to you guys.
