Service project

Our family belongs to a homeschool field trip group called SWAP (Schooling with a purpose). This year our group decided to do a service project and send care packages to a marine troop in Afghanistan. All the children filled out "about me" forms so the Marines can read about the children who sent them their care packages. 

This is what the form looks like. There is a line that says: I love Jesus because: and Jadon's response was because He is cool. Anna said she loves Jesus because He let me be her mom. Talk about melting my heart, oh my goodness I was holding back the tears on this one. And then Camden decided to say the same thing because he saw how special that was to me. :)

Each child included a picture of themselves. 

We had an army man come talk to the kids about the military. It was a great talk the kids all learned a lot. 

 There were a lot of donations!

And I thought I would include this picture because Jadon made it. He had to build an egyptian house for his Thursday afternoon Biblical History class. He did a great job!
