  Hi all!

  We  just got back from our annual vacation to Virginia on Friday.  Every year (well, the last 4 and we are signed up for next year)  we drive to Virginia to a conference center where the Free Church of Scotland Continuing (not our current denomination but one we love) has a 4 day retreat.  All of us look forward to going.  We heard 12 inspiring sermons, helped with the food, and enjoyed incredible fellowship.   The girls have a chance to meet so many other like-minded children.  Monique and Elizabeth write to some of them through out the year.

  This year we went a couple of days early to meet a Pastor and his family in Lynchberg, VA.  They were very hospitable and lovely family.  They had a little homestead, with goats, chickens, rabbits, two bulls, cats and dogs. Megan loved it.  She would love to live on a small farm like that.

  We also stopped at Lexington, VA where we stopped at Stonewall Jackson’s House.  He seems like such a godly man.  We really enjoyed the tour.

  And here are a few pictures from the conference:

  

  

  This is all of the families (well just us and two others) from our denomination that attended the conference.

  We are on the porch of the main conference hall.

  This is one of the morning beverage tables. Their was two.  Brian was in charge of both.  This is the one Monique helped with. 

  I helped with lunches twice. Next year I will take a larger role in food preparation.

  I will try to update more during the week. 

  Have a blessed day.

  Jenn
