Jersey Shore Summer Mission: Last Couple of Weeks

This post is going to be long but there are just so many highlights! We had THE. BEST. SUMMER. MISSION. EXPERIENCE!! We have just so much to thank the Lord for, big and small. From changed lives to ice cream cones. From incredible friends to sunsets. From opportunities to step out in faith and trust the Lord more, to good guacamole:) This summer exceeded our expectations in so many ways! Here are a couple more pics and memories from our summer...
Dunkin' Donut Saturdays with the Roordas!
 8 boys to play with
 An incredible staff team to work hard with and play with as well (here we are playing putt putt golf) 
 The ocean! I can't say enough about the ocean! 
 Killing the Giants week where our staff and students initiated almost 1300 spiritual conversations on the boardwalk! 29 placed their faith in Christ!
 The staff women! We got to live below all of the single girls and it was so fun to spend time with them. I got to train a girl as well. This was at a women's time that I spoke at.
 Staff day off at the waterpark!
We wrapped up our All for One week with a staff versus student softball game. It was so fun to play again and a bonus that we won!
 Our boys were able to be a part of some of the mission. Here they are helping with the International Dinner which was a learning experience to demonstrate the availability of the gospel around the world.
Ice cream!
 I just LOVE my family! So fun that we get to do together! This was at our final banquet.
 The 6 UND students that came with us this summer!
 These 3 students (Hannah, Per and Somer) watched out kids throughout the week so the moms could be a part of staff team meetings and sharing on the boardwalk. They were incredible with the boys and it was a blessing to be more hands on in ministry!
 Our whole group! Students, staff and kids. 
Sunsets on the bay!
 Weekly time with the leadership gals!
 Bonding with this sweet family!
And last but not least, sushi from Xinas and fish tacos from Surf Taco. MMM!
