My Father

It was Father's Day last weekend and I'm just now getting around to sharing with everyone why he's such a great Dad.

We have somewhat of a unique family situation and because of it, I've been able to see my Dad's love for me as completely unconditional.

He's taught me some really important lessons about life, has made me a strong person and has always been someone I can completely trust and depend on.

The older I get, the more I see truly what a great guy he is.

His approval means everything to me and there's not a single time I am not thankful for him in my life.

I love you Dad.

Greece

Greece really is as beautiful as you see in any photo. I wish I had more time to write about the places I've visited. I will most likely have to update at a later time. I want to get somewhat caught up though.

Sarah and I are having a great time in Italia so far... especially with all the shopping around us. We might be getting ourselves into trouble. Our motto? When in Rome...

But here's a look at what I had the opportunity to experience in Greece:

Athens

Manchester. London. Amsterdam. Berlin

I have spent the last week and a half traveling around with about 17 or so others from Calvary Chapel Boise. What an amazing group of young men and women the Lord brought to Europe. I have been so thankful to spend such a great amount of time with my church family from Boise. It makes me eager to spend a good amount of time at home with friends and family beginning July.

From community BBQs in the suburbs of Manchester, England to sharing the Gospel with prostitutes and those who walk the streets of the world-famous Red Light District in Amsterdam and then to experience the culture and history existing within the city walls of Berlin, there has been much to see, much to reflect on and so many things the Lord has done!

The power of the Gospel changes lives.

Here's a few photos to capture the essence of what has happened lately and what I've seen in the last week and a half:

Meet Sam Crager:

Kirk and Mindy Crager serve as missionaries and pastor the church in Stockport, England. This is their oldest son. He's absolutely hilarious and all of their kids are delightful.

London:



The beauty of Amsterdam completely captivated me.
