• Ministry -  Troy teaches the college level Sunday school at their church, and leads a monthly bible study called "Peacekeepers" for law enforcement officers. Kari is on staff at their church as the Christian Education Director, and is part of the praise team where she does sign language interpretation.

• Education - The proper education of our children is very important to us, so Kari takes the most active role she can - she home schools!
• Kalyn (age 7) takes a yearly national standardized test and scores a full grade level ahead.  We are very proud!
• Kalyn is reading full chapter books for ages 8-12, and Hannah (Age 5) is reading books for 6-9 year olds!
