It has been such a pleasure serving with WSM (Well Student Ministries). Jesse has been serving for 8 years already... since we have been dating! I joined in when we got married 5 years ago. We don't know life together without students around! During the school year on Sunday nights, we have student leadership meetings where we have lots of fun learning the Bible, doing complicated and at times impossible challenges, and living in community. After Sunday nights, we usually gather and watch Amazing Race at our house with ice cream and sprinkles... mmmm... how I will miss that (or maybe we keep that tradition)... We love movie nights with everyone, watching movies from Jesse and my generation (stuff they haven't heard of)... good wholesome humor (usually)... water basketball nights with only a few minor injuries (stitches, bleeding feet, black eyes...). We will truly miss seeing the students every week!
To say our big goodbye and wish the seniors a grand farewell, we decided to head to Hanford on the train for a little (actually a lot if you know the serving size) Superior Dairy Ice Cream. It was a HOT day so I was glad we were in for some cold ice cream.
After Hanford, we headed back to my parents house for a BBQ and some pool fun.

The Smiths also serve with us... Zach, Dorothy and Grace (who turned 1 this month).
Challenge: get entire team across the pool using 2 wooden 2 x 6 boards, duct tape and fill a bucket with water on the other side with a tube. It was awesome to watch everyone work together.
And, just for fun, lets try to make a boat... next time, they will work on the floating element...
We close a beautiful chapter in our lives (for now)... we truly love working with high school students, love seeing them grow and mature and are going to miss them like crazy!
