Graduation and Welcome Home Party

After coming back from Pakistan we all went back to Cimarron for debriefing. We only had 2 days after coming back to the states before our graduation. It was filled with unpacking from outreach and then packing up again to go home, debriefing, and graduation. I was SO happy to have Kasey & Dyal and their lovely daughter, Kayden come to my graduation!! Seeing them made my night! Thanks guys for coming...it meant a LOT!!

Cimarron's base director, David Horn, introducing the guest speaker and one of our lecture speakers, Doug Sparks.

Michelle and Ian handed out the DTS certificates of completion

Cooked to perfection!

Ready to enjoy the mumu. Just the smell of the cooked food took me back to PNG again! Maybe that will be my next mission trip?! Only God knows...
