Comments:

As a family we have loved skiing together in Colorado, as well as camping across the country.

One of our favorite activities is our annual 16-day trip to Central America. Every January since 1996, we have gone with a work team (in conjunction with Worldwide Christian Schools) to build Christian schools. We have served in Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Our team has become known for our steel roof contruction, but the blessing we receive from the communities far outweigh what we are able to do for them.
