SCA Winter Camp For Missionaries



We just spent the last two weeks having our kids attend SCA’s (Sunshine Christian Academy) winter session.  We had math, English, Cameroon history, devotions, read-alouds, swimming, music and art. Both Pete and I taught and it was a hectic but fabulous opportunity for us all. 

Highlights for me were:

Watching all three kids improve in skills and stamina in the pool.  I got to teach Emily and see her pass Barracudas. Her last swimming lessons were when she was in pre-school in a mommy and me. Josh loves to push himself to do his personal best.  And despite being freezing in the pool, Jessica persevered and passed dolphins.

Getting to spend quality time with the Burkett-Thoene family.
Watching the kids make brass items from wax figures, and then fire, file, and polish them.

Teaching English to K-2 grade.

Performance where we closed our eyes and kids made it sound like it was raining and storming (Oh how I love the sound of rain).

Watching the 8th graders graduate and hearing the testimonies of some VERY proud dads (definitely a tear jerker).

Being part of such an awesome community of Missionaries.
