Back From Burma!!!
The team arrived Sunday morning at 7:45- they were greeted with cheers from friends & family. Everyone was healthy but tired. It was sooo fun to welcome them home and hear a few stories before the news crews nabbed 'em!
A little blurry but very Armageddon- like!
She was sooo happy to see him.
The whole fam.
Met with News Crews Again....

Risk
Every other Sunday is Risk at the Duininck's house. This is a time for the kids from their church and school to get together and talk about the Word and just have fun. This was the first weekend the team to Burma was gone so Leah explained to the group what had happened there and we had a prayer time for the team. These kids are fantastic and their prayers were lead by the Lord and sincere.
Sammy wanted me to take pics of him in mid air off the diving board...the trend continued to several of the other kiddos.

Welcome to Tulsa Kris...Oh, and Happy Birthday
Kris is an incoming intern...he begins residency on July 1st. He and his adorable wife, Nicole moved to Tulsa on Saturday and had everyone over for a cookout that evening...and can I tell you, their entire house was unpacked and fully decorated with paint and all...UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Kris has just about every wii game there is and he got 4 steering wheels for Mario Kart...we all got into that game- toddlers and all!

Off to Burma
As you probably know a Cyclone hit Burma on May 3rd and wiped out millions and their military regime was preventing aid for the people. Through a divine connection my boss was invited to come with a disaster relief team. They left on May 16th. We had the most amazing prayer time after work on the 15th...the Holy Spirit was moving like I've never felt before.
Keep the Burmese people in your prayers....they are really suffering right now.

The Team
The team was met at the airport by news crews
Sammy's Soccer Tournament- Edmond
Leah texted me and asked if I could go with her to Sam's soccer tournament in Edmon a couple of weeks ago. He rocks...that kid can ball like nobody's business.
Sweet story...the Duininck's always pray with their kids before their games. We dropped Sammy off and Leah was trying to get to where she could pray with him. He said "I'll find you before my game starts" She said, "Promise?!?" Sammy, "Promise". So the game's about to start and here comes Sam running through the opponents team and across the field...the people in the crowd were like "what does he want?!?!" Leah said "I know what he wants!" And got up and prayed with him...it was sooo sweet. After 80 mins. of ball...they tied. In a tournament, that's good. Their team advanced to the next round. Strong work buddy!
We ended the afternoon on some delicious sushi at Fuji in Edmond. Good Stuff!
Sam comin' for pre game prayer!

We'll Miss You Rosie....
Rosie's last day in the office was Friday...we are all sooo bummed. She's pursuing a dream though and we support her. We'll just miss her sweet spirit and silliness around the office.
We all got together for lunch that day and surprised her with a beautiful wooden craft box fully stocked with colored pencils, paints, brushes & sketch pads. She was moved to tears. Love ya girl!
Hangin' with the Kiddos!!!
All of my friends have the most precious children...I'm sooo blessed to get to hang out with them and just watch them grow into these unbelievable creations. They're so sweet, clever and just a joy to be around. They love like no other- it makes me feel so special to be their Auntie Alecia or as Linda says "Tia Alecia"- she's half Honduran. :-)
Christian & Linda
Christian's Brother Nathaniel- love that smile!
Christian to Alecia: "Come oonnnn!"
