| Grace and Luka went with their youth group on a serve project to the bayou of Louisiana. They were there to help with Hurricane Ida clean up. Grace and Luka loved being in a new place, new culture, meeting new people, seeing new things...experiencing new things. They worked hard and the community there was appreciative. Some people bought them treats, a small shop let them buy anything half off, and a swap tour gave the group a free air boat tour. They saw alligators almost everyday! Thankfully, they all stayed safe and Luka didn't do anything he'd regret :). Best of all the youth group grew very close. They are almost inseparable now. The unity that comes from serving together, seeking the Lord together and having fun together. What a gift for our kids to be a part of that here. Grace says she finally found somewhere in Michigan she fits in and belongs. |

| We also traveled for spring break - minus 2 kids. We went down to spend a few days with our FIC friends Howard and Aileen in South Carolina. We stopped in W. Virginia on the way and enjoyed God's beautiful creation. |
