Summertime

It has been a busy summertime in the Creath household thus far. Leslie is off from school, which is incredible. Its nice to have her in our home during the day. Over the past month my parents have been on a journey to selling their home and moving to Branson to officially retire. Happy to say that as of last week, they have moved for good from Eldon and are now setting up their new place in Branson. So happy that they get to enjoy their retirement now. Below is a picture of us standing in front of their home in Branson a few weeks ago.

Leslie and I just returned from leading a group of young married couples from our the bible study class I teach at Second Baptist to Hawaii to work with church planter Aaron Davis. As with any mission team, we had our normal hiccups, but overall the trip was a great success. We were able to help do outreach at beach parks and hold kids clubs each day of the week. Hawaii may seem glamorous as a mission trip, but "paradise" isn't "paradise" when you live there. It really is a dark place, and feels in many ways like a foreign country. Aaron and Samantha are doing an incredible job and we are so proud of them.
