This weekend we worshipped and shared with our New Bedford, PA family! Pastor Doug and Kim welcomed us so warmly, and everyone joined us afterwards for a wonderful luncheon.
Lori has been our dear friend now for three years, always emailing, praying for us, and sending us necessities (and extras!), housing us and just plain loving on us and Lily. We're not sure why the Lord has given her such a special heart for us, but we praise Him for it!
Debi shared the special music, Grandma June, Shelly and Patty spoiled Lily, and we were blessed to share with this congregation what God is doing in Haiti, through them and so many others...
Lisa got me a wonderful gift: two tickets to Mama Mia on Broadway! On Saturday afternoon she and I went, and had such a blast. It was a wonderful show, and better yet was having the rare opportunity to do something so fun and special with my sister!
For our last dinner all together with my family, we went to our very favorite restaurant, The Japanese Steakhouse. We thought Lil might be frightened by the chopping, fire and cooking happening on the table, but she loved it!
On Friday, we spent the day at the fair with Aunt Patty...Lily LOVED the animals and slept the entire trip home.
One of Lily's very favorite new things to do is play piano...she does NOT want your help, and she does NOT want to stop. Ever.
She is already showing how much talent she has... Love the updates! Jealous you saw Mama Mia, but glad you did not get caught snapping pics.
ReplyDeleteWe all loved our time together with you at New Bedford. I think Debi said it best when she said "three years ago when we met you, you had a heart for Haiti - now your heart is in Haiti".
ReplyDeleteUntil we see you in person again, you will be in our prayers. We will be praying for success for the upcoming school year and that your love for Jesus Christ may touch the lives of everyone you come in contact with.
We Love you......
