June ’25 in Pictures

On By MitchenersIn Dominican Republic, Family, Indiana, Photos of the Month

I forgot how much I loved summer in the States.
Enjoy 30 June pictures from our perspective!

Ministry

How many of these visiting teams photos have I posted over the years? It may just seem like random faces, but each person is an answered prayer.
Our Dominican staff decorated for summer camp!
Getting a head start on learning how to line up for the upcoming school year 🙂
We have returning visitors who connect so well with many of our students – that means the world to us!
This young lady has attended Freedom her entire life (along with her two sisters). She’s had so many life experiences already. We’re praying that she always chooses to put the Lord first in her life.
If you’re wanting to hire some professional organizers/cleaners, look no further!
Cuties!
Where will this little lady be in 5 years? 10 years? Hopefully growing up and learning lots about Jesus at Freedom!
At the end of each week, one of our interns got a pie to the face. Our high schoolers were not unhappy about this. 🙂
VBS!
Parents signing important docs before school begins. Betsaida (in the black shirt) has been a huge godsend to this ministry
The school my kids attend in Indiana had the opportunity to visit my old stomping grounds! I hope they were able to fall in love a bit with this little slice of the Caribbean.

Family

We went camping with the fam one weekend! Check out that pile o’ chicken.
We took a beautiful hike through the woods
Leyton and his siblings enjoyed the hike, but they were all glad to make it back to the car at the end. 🙂
My parents have been experiencing visits from some unwanted visitors. We watched these guys steal the cat food from the front porch on multiple occasions.
Baking some brownies from scratch – this girl is obsessed with all things kitchen.
Our sweet friends’ daughter (who has been a Freedom intern) got married. I was seated by my high school science teacher at the reception! It was awesome to catch up with him.
We took a mini-vacay with some friends to the mountains. They treated us to these amazing made-from-scratch donuts!!
Better than Starbucks!
Another wedding (this time in IN)!
Summer calls for the making of many fruit smoothies
Happy 39 to Scott!
Someone started piano lessons this summer!
I had a lot of fun helping out with our church’s VBS this year! I’m still getting to know kids and their families, but they were all so precious!
We have some Chipotle haters in our family, so Leyton and I took a special lunch trip to one of our favorite places
Noah after we finished a card game one afternoon: “Mom, don’t you need to take a picture of it? You always do that when we’re playing something…” Heh.
We enjoyed several weekend trips to a local park to go wade in the creek.
This pup has had some recent health issues
Folding laundry and getting some Roo cuddles

Thanks for following along on our picture journey!
