October and November

     2017 is here, 2016 is forever past.  Jen & I haven't been doing so well at keeping our blog updated, so we had a great idea - why not let Nicki do it for us?!?  Nicki was excited about the idea, although it hasn't been as easy as she thought it would be at first.  Anyway, other than my few words here, all the rest of the blog is compliments of Nicki.  Yippee!  So here's a few photos & comments of some things that went on in October & November of 2016.  Signing out,  Marvin.  
                                                                                                                                                                               One of the schools oldest students, Tevin's, mom got sick so the staff got together and sold baked goods.
                               

                                  This is how it looks when our family goes visiting.

My dad likes to spearfish. Here are some he shot.



The day before Christmas vacation, is a party day, half day, and lunch is provided!




Field Trip is one of the exciting days of school...


                    Every once in a while the staff  have a joint supper together at a beach or point,                                 


 One time the boys found a turtle-shell!  
                             

     Yes, Grenada has Beautiful beaches with cool stuff in it!                                                             


 My dad works with a Grenadian man. And has a good friendship with him.


Our pasture is full of goats and the little ones are really cute and sometimes come inside our compound.

A church outing is lots of fun and playing games and running around.

This Grenadian man loves to sing and joined Ryan Horst in the middle of his song one Sunday morning.

Yes we do get sick sometimes.  Life is not always easy.

Daddy was called to be a part of the lot in the ordination at Magnolia Church in MS.  We found out at 11:30 Friday night, and left the house at 6:00 Saturday morning.  Daddy was ordained pastor that Sunday.


Lapp and Schrock Grandparents.  Graber Great-Grandparents. and us grandchildren. It's not often that we are together with all our living grandparents at one time.


Caleb and Conrad caught the hang of fishing and loved it.


Great Uncle Lester loves to give rides at his house.


Conrad turned 7 years old....Dec. 9




"7-8-9...stand in a line"


Cannon Ball!!!!


Most Friday's is a youth night.  This was some sort of a tug - of -war on buckets.

Staff Christmas Dinner was a highlight.  But the children liked the candy scramble better.

Friends!!






Christmas program one night.  Our theme was "Wise Men Still Seek Him".




It is tourist season so there are lots of cruise ships coming in.  It's fun to watch them leave in the evening.
Once again, thanks for praying!
