Last Day

Hola!

Today was the ACCCNW’s last day for summer camp. The kids love them SO much!

Sent letters to supporters and mission partners.

We explored Plaaaaazaaaa Fiestaaa today. Dad and I really enjoyed the atmosphere as we cheered for  Colombia vrs. Ivory Coast.

Got Anna and I’s riding show boots fixed and buffed for the riding show at the end of the summer!

Looking forward to riding tomorrow.

Love,

ACCCNW!

Hello!

Had fun with a brand new team! They’ve never been on missions with us before. They’re a GREAT group from Atlanta Chinese Christian Church North West in Marietta.

Today we went to the farmer’s market. A few of the members showed me some of their favorite Chinese goodies like shrimp chips and dried squid.

Dropped them off at the missions before going to fix my tire. We found a nail in it last week. Also got my oil changed and mailed off a package.

While we were at Office Depot Dad saw his original Bengali family from years ago.

Working on setting up next weeks teams. We’re going to be SUPER busy. Please pray for clear coordination and planning.

Love,

Ash

Last day.

Hello Friends!

Today was the last day of Urban Plunge and our Fountain City Team. The kids are always SO teary eyed to see them go. :(

Always great to hear their testimony of what they do back home for Jesus though!

Had a great meeting with Jeff Reams from Dunwoody.

Dad and I toured the team around Plaza Fiesta, visited their 16 complexes and he even pumped up my tire! Thanks Dad!

Talked to a team from Moultrie.

Sent back some green curtain that Milo called, “hideous!”

Love,

Ash

Lavaca! Casa View! ACCCN!

Big group of 80 plus today! Had such a great time briefing them. Dad and I both get super wound up.

Fun time taking them around the farmer’s market.

Then missions!

Came home and updated the wildoakhorsefarm.com website.

Enjoying reading the God Ask fundraising book. I’m going to make about 720 calls to get to full support.

Moogie dog is SO spoiled! She sleeps in the bed on her own pillow. Thought her modular eating was funny.

Talked with Sharon from Park Village. Even got to pray with her.IMG_5601-M IMG_5604-M IMG_5587-M IMG_5583-M unnamed IMG_5524-M IMG_5532-M unnamed unnamed-1 IMG_5540-M unnamed-2 IMG_5554-M IMG_5591-M

New work! Riding!

Hello!

Woke up early so I could go ride at the farm. Doesn’t Harley look good? I rubbed her down with Argon Oil.

Putting my foot in the stirrup is one of my favorite parts of the day.

Came home and showered and got in the mindset to start  new work.

Talked to 19 apartments in 2.5 hours. Five of them were places we’ve never had work! REALLY looking forward to this summer.

Still planning logistics for our big busses.

Love,

Ash

Newsletters! Beef Patties! Financial Report! Website and Movie!

Hello Friends!

I went and picked up the newsletters, bought stamps and envelopes, stuffed them and then took them to the Post Office.

Talked to Rob about his website. I tweaked a few things and learned some new HTML code. It’s like magic!

Worked on the finical report.

We have eight teams coming in the end of June, so I’m working on logistics. It can get kinda tricky.

Finished editing a fun little movie for the student at Wild Oak Horse Farm. Screen Shot 2014-05-28 at 3.04.11 PM unnamed-2 unnamed Screen Shot 2014-05-28 at 4.49.40 PM unnamed-1 unnamed-3

Smokerise WMU, FBCD, AZ

Hello!

Enjoyed a morning with the Smokerise Baptist Church Ladies. We had the original member come, Mrs. Claire Nash!

Mo and I enjoyed lunch together.

Still working on getting my side mirror replaced. Looks like it’s going to cost about $200 :(

Went by the church to pick up the mail, then to AZ to see the kids.

Love,

Website! Missions! Workout!

Hello!

Mo and I enjoyed lunching together at our favorite Indian food restaurant, Katmandu, in Clarkston.

Almost finished with the startdisability.com website.

Talked with some teams.

Miles helped cut some branches out of the way! I backed out too fast the other day and knocked my side mirror off. I talked with a friend today about getting it fixed.

Then we went to help the kids at the mission.

Miles and I had a great workout!

Love,

Ash unnamed-1 unnamed-1 unnamed-2 unnamed unnamed unnamed-3 unnamed-4
