Key to awesomeness: After hearing the pastor’s daughter and son-in-law were planning a second year-long trip to Cameroon Josh and Jeanette wanted to help raise money for the couple’s mission. They love to read so they enlisted six others from the church and asked for pledges for books they’d read. The group read a total of 44 chapter books within six weeks. "They’re really compassionate and they like to help," their mother Jen Mottl said. "If they see a need they help."
