NYC - Youth Event 2011

 Hello Family and Friends,
Kayley and Joshua with their cousins Tessa and Jake.
Well, the deputation trek continues with recent visits to Iowa (family wedding included!) and the Ames Church, then Chicago, then Louisville, and now Tennessee.  It has been a great summer for us all, but we’re getting ready to transition back to life in Costa Rica.  We have 3 weeks left before we head south to Central America once again. 
In the middle of our deputation experience, Joshua and Shelley got the privilege of attending Nazarene Youth Conference in Louisville, KY.  This is a once every four year event with awesome music, speakers, workshops and concerts.  Since this is Joshua’s year to attend and since the Missionary Kid Group was in need of a sponsor, Shelley got to tag along as well.  So it was a first for both of the Webbs. 
The group of 29 MKs was amazing with kids from all over the world.  They formed a cohesive group quickly even though many of them had never met before the event.
These highlight photos say more than words can express about the 6 days at NYC 2011.  

Group games to get to know each other.

The Bundles of hope project provided 65,000 baby items for the Louisivlle community.  

6,300 teens in the new arena.

The Toby Mac Concert was awesome and Joshua got to be on the floor, up close to the action.

Driving go-carts on the longest track in the world with Norm Henry. FUN!
The last few days we have enjoyed staying at the TN Campgrounds.  We worked with the primary children’s camp and then visited the Waverly, TN church.  The kids got to swim one afternoon, we skipped stones in the creek and Kayley enjoyed petting the horse. 

Now we have moved north to Clarksville, TN where we spoke at our home church of Woodlawn Community in the AM and at Park Lane Church in the PM.  Just one more week in TN and we are off to Ohio, then West Virginia and then back to Chicago for our last few days in the USA.  
Thanks for your prayers for our summer travels and thanks to each one of you who has prayed and supported us financially.  We appreciate YOU!
The Webb Family

Time has flown by since our last post more than two years ago.  Here is an update of some of what has happened in that time. 1.       Minist...
