Yes! That's Marshall milking a cow! Her name is Clover.

It's been a busy week here at TMM. We got our milk cow Clover last Sat. She is a sweet little girl and has been very good with us all learning to milk her. Heidi is the expert though. She comes from Colorado where her and her family have a farm. She has been milking by hand since she was 8yrs old. So she has been a huge blessing to us. We have been getting about 2 gals of milk each milking. We have also been making our own butter using the cream.
Another exciting thing that happened this week is that we had a film crew here working on the new Master's Mission video. They were here for two days and we had a lot of fun with that. The kids were even crazy enough to get in the water for filming. Marshall was filmed welding and I was filmed playing paintball. Seems like it should have been the other way around.
In my women's class, we have been learning the do's and don'ts of writing a prayer/news letter.
We have been enjoying meeting some of the families on furlough. Right now Jon & Becky Woodworth is here. They have been serving the Lord in Kenya for almost 10yrs. The have 5 children. 3 girls and 2 boys. Ofcourse our kids have been enjoying theirs. Devin keeps asking if we can go to Africa now instead of Ecuador. :) We just tell her, we'll go where ever the Lord needs us. We have really been thinking of home lately. Especially with our church's missionary conference this week. We will REALLY miss being there. We have the schedule and you all are in our prayers. God moved in our hearts last year during conference and I pray He will do the same for someone else this year.
We love and miss you all!

Guys & Dolls,
It is so great to see you are doing this well. I have been lifting you up and I can see the Lord's hand all over you. The tough thing is we're all so far a part. It would be good to visit again. Tracy, if you did the site , it is gorgeous. Perhaps you have missed some of your calling.
The Conference has bee fantastic this week. It truly is too bad you have not been able to be with us.
I hope all of you can drink all of the milk you are getting.It sounds like you are enjoying Clover to the fullest. Is she pregnant for next year? If not that will be a treat to get done.
Well I have to get to work. It shouldn't be terrible today though. It is raining and we do not have to pack apples. So actually we might get a little rested.
God Bless,
G & Co.
Hi guys. It is interesting to hear your newfound interest in Kenya. We have had two MM families from Kenya at FLUMC now and they seem to love it there, even though there are challenges (i.e. 130 degree temps). One thing is for sure, you are in a good place to learn and grow as the Lord prepares you for what is next.
Peace,
PJ
