The Bonds of Friendsip

One of the hardest things about going to Venezuela as missionaries was leaving our family and friends. However, the Lord did bring other relationships in our lives to fill that gap. Tim and Kerri have been such dear friends. We have laughed together and cried together. And they have been one of those couples that have cheered us on and have been such an encouragement to us along life's path. It was so refreshing to be able to spend this weekend together.

It's A Girl

We are quite excited for our friends and coworkers who had a baby girl last week. Briella is an answer to prayer. She is an adorable little baby and such a blessing from the Lord. Congratulations Craig, Marilyn, & Conner!

The Chilli Dog Experience

For a little while now we have been hearing about Erika's famous Chili Dogs. Although our family has eaten many different foods we have never had a Chili Dog. Last night the Stephens family had us over to enjoy this experience with their family. It was fun trying something new while having a good visit with friends. Greg, Erika, Bret, and Mariah are a neat family. Thanks so much for a great evening!

A Call Goes Out From Mozambique, Who Will Answer it?

Ruth has two very special friends, Damarise and Hannah (they are sisters) who live in Mozambique. They have been wanting to set up a time to call Ruth since her birthday. But due to Ruth's school and work schedule, and the difference in time zones it has not been easy to figure out a time that actually worked. Well, Monday at lunch time the connection finally happen. HOW COOL IS THAT! It was SUCH a treat for Ruth. For those of you who don't know, it is Ruth's dream to make it to Mozambique to visit these dear friends. She has been trying to save everything she can for her "Mozambique Fund". If things work out Ruth would like to visit Mozambique this July.
