4 months later this time, SORRY! :)

Well ministry has definately taken up much of my time, so it has been difficult to add blogs to the page, I will try and get better at it in the coming months to at least put something up 1 a month. In the summer I took the students to the CO mountains for camp, and then the group pictures are from our Fall Disciple Now weekend where I brought in 2 former NFL players that are now preachers to preach to the students!





Tim Tucker my good freind from Seminary! :) He and his team really lead us in great Worship this week!

We have enjoyed our home, one of the fun things was bringing in wood to place in our fire place!





Kelsey was baptized making her public profession as Christ being her Savior and Lord, what an honor that God allowed me to perform the ordiance...




Kelsey has been enjoying Junior High, she is almost finished with her science project on comparing the different water supplyings in our city to see who had the best water...






The girls have been growing so much and they have really rekindled their bond together these last few months

Katie has taken her singing to a new level and had a performance at her elementary school






Katie's 9th birthday was really special for her, we got her a 5 star hotel for her and Robin in Lubbock and Robin took her to a special girls saloon that did her hair, facial, pedicure, manicure etc! When she came home, Kelsey made her a cake and I gave her a bb gun and pink pocket knife!






Christmas was very special for us as we opened presents Christmas Eve after the church service




The surprise new addition! "Grace" our female American Bulldog that we got off Calvin St.! haha how funny right.

I know right 3 months later!

Well this is what has kept us from posting in the last 3 months, alot of hard fruitful ministry. This summer we have seen a few kids really change their lifestyles towards following God Almighty and seeing fruit in their lives. This is our Youth room upstairs in the Activity building, where I bring the Word of God to them on Wed. Nights for about 45minutes... check out our church website @ www.collegebaptist.com/students Megan came to visit us as she spoke to our student girls during a lock-in on the reality of self-image. We decided to go Asain one night and make homemade Sushi, something Mensingers do often, but Megan was amazed!


Want to point out this AWESOME knife that my Aunt Pat gave me for graduation... it has more uses than I bet she thought of! ;) Sushi cutting









Our girls have been very active in the church as they are growing in the Lord, here they stepped out on faith and sang the song Hosanna by Hillsong United in front of the congregation with 2 other girls.





Here are a few pictures from the Girls Lock-In, Robin's ministry has been a great blessing towards the girls and our goal is to take them to deeper thoughts of Word than they have ever contemplated.






The last trip of the Summer was a camping trip to Riudoso, NM in the mountains. It was an amazing camp trip, we bought a new tent for our family and we had a great time as a family even though we had all our students there also. Zenab was in town visiting for 2 weeks so she was able to expierence camp life as well, and also get some bonding time with a youth group.


This is "Rock River Slide" brought back memories from Mt. Lemon in AZ where I would go visit family and then travel up and swim in the river when nobody else would... me and Katie took turns sliding down on our butts, the water was about 50 degrees :)


Zeth had a blast, this was his very own walking stick! The boy loves outdoors...


This was our youth group photo before leaving!


Here are some pics from the family life @ home...


Katie was convicted to cut her 10 inches of hair off to go towards locks of love and help a child who didn't have hair! We are so proud of her for that sacrafice!






Zeth is trying to go PeePee in the Potty! Its hilarious to try and potty train this boy! He prefers the floor!

Its been kind of busy the last couple of weeks, getting settled in and of course getting started at our new Minsitry at College Baptist Church in Big Spring, TX. God has blessed us so much with our church family, our home, and our new community. We couldn't ask for anything more! Some of you have wondered what our home looks like, so here you go... Our master bath, they also put in white ceramic tiled shower, its awesome!


The Kitchen

If you could have only seen the before the pictures with carpet and a mini wall that divided the dinning room from living, the new layout and floors are amazing!

Can't wait to use the fire place in the winter...
