~Time spent with good friends~

Last Saturday we had a fun, busy day. First, Mrs. Becky Stence, who is also a missionary to Colombia, was in town and and so she came by for a short visit. We had heard about her, but had never had the privilege of meeting her. We really enjoyed our visit, she's a dear lady. She had another appointment and so had to leave around 11:30. After she left, our friend, Pastor Jimmy and his wife Farly and family invited us over to their home for a delicious Colombian meal. Pastor Jimmy and Farly, are the ones that teach at our new ACE school, and they also have started another church here in Bogota, about 45 minutes from our churches.
There was also a family from their new church at the meal at their house. The man, Antonio got saved about 8 years ago. He and his wife are a sweet couple and we had a very enjoyable visit with them, and Pastor Jimmy and his family.

Since pastor Jimmy has 2 girls almost the same age as our girls, our girls love getting to play with their girls.

We made a lot of fun memories from that day, and will always remember their kindness and the DELICIOUS meal that they served us. ~Antonio, Monica, Phillip, and Heather~

We are glad to have Pastor Jimmy and family near us, they are some of our closet friends here. (They used to pastor about 24 hours away, until they moved here to run our ACE school last May.)

~Last Sunday, I let Kimberly braid my hair...which has always been one of her dreams...to braid her Mommy's hair that almost touches the floor. (I have the rest of my hair rolled up tightly under the scrunchy. =)~
