Summer Time

We wasted no time jumping into life back in Louisiana! After 7 days with family we started work Bridge Ministry of Acadiana, a week later we were on a bus with 22 youth and 2 coworkers to KAA Kamp in Missouri. Once we returned we began to settle into our 5 week summer programs.


Jason is working with high school students (13-18 yrs old) and Lacey is working with elementary (6-12 yrs old). It's a great fit! Jason's group did something called Job Club where students who are too young to work obtain job skills and are able to visit local businesses to gain exposure to different types of employment and Lacey's group had a day camp that gave the children an opportunity to hear about Christ through fun activities and outings. We loved getting to know each individual child and are looking forward to what the school year will bring. We'll share plenty more about our experiences there as time goes...

We've also been settling down into our home for the time being. We're living in Lake Arthur near Lacey's family and commuting to Lafayette as we save money and search for a home in the BRIDGE neighborhood. A blessing we're cherishing is being able to see our families so often since we've been back.


We we able to take a relaxing trip to Arkansas before school started. It was a great time to reconnect and to be refreshed. Hard to believe the summer is over! I guess the saying it true, "time flies when you're having fun!"
