February 7th Meeting


 We got to hear from the lovely Dina Martens at MOPS on Feb. 6th. Dina is from Davao, Philippines, and has lived and worked in Thailand, Korea, and Mongolia. She now now calls Minnesota home, along with her husband and two children, ages 5yrs & 11mos.


"What defines you?" Dina asked. Though she was privileged to have a good education, a good job, and even enjoyed fame in the Philippines for her singing voice, she often felt lonely. Eventually God called her to missions, and then to being a wife and mother.

"Generosity is not just giving. It is giving, and giving, and giving until it hurts."

Thank you, Dina, for sharing your journey with us!

Zoe also showed us how to make:

No Bake Playdoh!

1/2 cup flour
2 TBsp salt
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp  vegetable oil
1/4 - 1/3 cup hot water, add food coloring drops to water

1. Start by shaking the dry ingredients together in a ziplock baggie (at least sandwich size).
2. Add oil and water/food coloring to the contents in plastic baggie.
3. Press out most of the air, and close ziplock bag.  Knead together until everything is mixed.

If playdoh is too dry, add a few drops of water at a time and knead; if it's too wet, add a little more flour and knead.  More food coloring can be kneaded in after playdoh is fully mixed, if desired.

Playdoh can be kept in the ziplock baggie, or transferred to air-tight containers, such as: baby food jar/container, jam/jelly jars, small cottage cheese or sour cream containers, tupperware, etc.

There are also instructions for baking and painting playdoh.
