Sweetness. Allyson with Carter.

Kyle and Carter. Wonderful family!

 The Robinson family is so special to us - they housed us for about 8 months before we moved overseas. Baba used them and their family to introduce us to new aspects of His character and love. Their family has now grown to four and they are starting a new chapter in their lives. We love them and are proud of what Baba is doing in their lives.

Uncle Joe's grave-side service with precious family.

Aunt Lois and family at Uncle Joe's service.

 Shortly after arriving in the US last spring, we learned that my great Uncle Joe had passed from this life to his eternal home in glory. These are some pictures of dear family that were able to come to his grave-side service in Oklahoma.My dad was asked to do the service and he did a wonderful job. It was a true celebration of Uncle Joe's life.

This picture makes me laugh. My friend Maria next to Heidi. 

 Two years ago Heidi came to our fellowship to speak. In the evening service we were all praying and ministering to each other. It was a memoriable time for me. "Let us drink from the cup of suffering and joy."

Some special ladies who meet for a monthly book club. We discuss a book, but also eat, pray and encourage one another.  I love them.

Matt and Elyse came in the spring of 2012 to encourage and serve us. Just after their visit we headed back to the States - a sort of turning the page.

My language class from last winter. Such a unique blend of peeps from all over the world!

These last few pictures might seem a bit random, but they mark milestones in our lives. Times of encouragement, and the beginning of difficult times as well. There were about 5 people in my language class that got sick with the virus that eventually attacked my heart and body.  Jesus has made me more than an overcomer and He continues to make me well. :)
