Wrestling

By: Teresa Harding on 9:27 PM

In case you are wondering what the funny little target is, it's a wrestling mat! My nephew Nicholas Whitehead is an amazing wrestler! He is so good that he made it to the state tournament and placed 3rd. That is amazing! It was so fun to watch him even though I always get a little nervous when their faces start to turn purple and they are contorted in a funny position. GO TEAM!

Jessica

Our niece Jessica came to live with us during her senior year of high school. It has been so much fun getting to know her and watching her make so many positive changes in her life. I love watching people learn and grow. She is one of the most amazing people I know. I thought it was really neat that Danny and Jessica were able to graduate together.

Here is a picture of Jessica playing her guitar. She is very talented.

The Flag Pole

By: Teresa Harding on 10:00 PM

As many of you know I like "BIG"! We decided to put a flag pole to honor our nation and our missionaries. I didn't want just your run of the mill flag pole, it has to be the biggest one that you are allowed to have. I am very proud to live in this nation and I am even more proud of my boys who are diligently serving the Lord. You will notice that there is a flag representing Peru and Guatemala. The Honduras flag will be making its debut shortly! We will fly that will pride too.

Here are some pictures that document the flag pole installation. With big flag poles comes big machinery!
