Last night was a beautiful night for our family. We got to spend the evening with one incredible young lady on a mission. Christy Barton has been a part of our church body for the past 3-4 years. You can follow her missionary journey here:

She will be leaving to go to Australia on a mission trip with YWAM in a few short weeks. She will be gone for 2 years. So, last night we got the privilege of picking her brain about her trip and teaching our kids about missionaries. After dinner the kids were given a chocolate chip for each question they ask Ms. Christy. The first question asked by Cade, "Can I have a chocolate chip, please?" We all laughed hard. He did what he was supposed to, ask Ms. Christy a question :D Other questions asked were:
How long will you be gone?
What city will you be stationed in?
What will you do while your there?
How can we pray for you while you are there?
What kind of food do they have in Australia? (this sparked a whole silly conversation about vegemite)
Oh Christy, thank you for spending the evening with us! Thank you for sharing your passion with us. Your heart for our Lord Jesus Christ is more beautiful than words can describe. The Best will be praying with you and for you daily! We have been blessed to know you! I know my kids saw Jesus in action in your life last night, and I know they will never forget it. What a treasure the evening was for us all!
