17 Letters


Ok it is now 12:14, by the time I post it will be later than that. Michelle I hope the volume on your computer is turned off, hehe. Well anyway I have been sitting here in my living room looking up at the Happy Thanksgiving sign my brother made earlier and hung up for tomorrow. It simply says happy thanks giving and then above each letter is a name.
Pop=our grandpa
Meme= our grandmother
Terryl=our great uncle
Troy
Cathy
Kristina
Todd
Bethany
Alyssa
Jessica
Kaleb
Megan
Lillie
Manthania
Jonas
Nicot
Ellie
They exact number of people that we have thanksgiving with each year is the same number of letters in the words Thanksgiving. And that is only 17 reasons why I am thankful. Looking at this simple sign has made me realize that I have more to be thankful for the number of people that will sit in my church on Christmas play sunday.
I do want to say that I am very thankful that Jesus is my best friend. He is amazing. He has placed a desire in my heart for a counrty and for children that a little over a year and a half ago I knew nothing about. He took a little girl who asked God to please call me to be anything but a missionary and turned her into a girl that could think of nothing else. Thank you Jesus for your compassion and never ending love. And thank you for playing more than 17 letters in my life. Thank you for the children like Daniel that hold mt heart. Thank you for holding me when I cry and giving me scripture to read. Thank you for dying so I could live, Live for you.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope that you all can find as many things to be thankful for as I have.
Love always in Christ.

The Entrance!?!?!

We finally made it!!!


We are now in IBESR. We have been for a few days and I haven't got to post about it yet. God has moved on behalf of us and our files and finally put us in IBESR. We don't know how but God does.
So my new favorite numbers are now 15923 and 15924.
With each passing day we are closer to the day Matu and Nicot will come home and our family will be together.
Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us over the past year and four months. Please do not stop praying! We love you all.
