~Our 2nd Independence Day.~

We are VERY BUSY sorting, organizing, packing, cleaning, running errands, saying goodbyes, etc. Please pray that we can get it all done! Thanks! =)

July 20th is Colombia's Independence day. Jimmy and Farly invited our family over for a delicious meal!

~Arroz con leche~ (Yummy Rice with milk.)~

~Then we all cut out Betty Lukens flannelgraph figures. If you have never had the privilege of cutting ALLLLLLL of those out...you'll not know how much your Sunday school teacher/VBS worker LOVES YOU! =) About 11 of us cut for HOURS and we only got 80% done. My finger is still numb, 8 days later! We had a great day listening to beautiful hymns, laughing and fellowshipping together, snacking and cutting, cutting, cutting!~

~Before we started cutting...the HUNDREDS of figures!~

~Poor Farly's house was a disaster filled with flannelgraph scraps EVERYWHERE!!!~

~Jimmy and Phillip kept up with putting each figure in their boxes as we cut them out!~

I see blackberries in your Arroz con leche. I've been seeing blueberries in my sleep, as dad keeps bringing more of them home from work. Our freezer is FULL of blueberries, and I don't even like them! Right now, I am getting ready to make dad his favorite dessert of Blueberry Boy Bait; which is a type of light coffee cake.
Yuk! on packing those bothersome suitcases for your trip! I hope you can survive the strain. That chore can push a person right over the brink into insanity.

Sarah Cook said...: That makes me tired just thinking about it. All that packing... Ron and I have lived in 4 different homes in our 7 years of marriage, and packing is a trip.
We purchased a flannel set a while back, though it is not Betty Lukens, I don't think... it was soooo much to cut! I don't think we actually ever got it completely finished, but almost. My children love flannel graph... and, we sometimes use them at the church, too. They are worth the trouble... try to convince your numb hand of that! HA! Be glad you had help... I think I might have had a teenager from the church come and help me some.
Makes me appreciate those teachers who have gone on before me!; July 28, 2010 at 10:25 PM

Mission's UpDate!

Dec. 18th, 2015 found us coming back to the U.S.A. from South America, but to continue working as full-time missionaries with our mission.
With our Children's age, we have been planning for years to come back at this time.
We remain under appointment with Global Holiness Mission to continue serving Colombia and Argentina.
We will be making trips to teach, preach, and disciple the nationals on the fields.
Now that we are serving our people with missions trips from out of the States, we will also be ministering via digital and written ministry in Spanish and English for those that are on the field. We so appreciate all of y'all's prayers for us! None of this would be possible if it weren't for a team effort of you and others like you. God has been doing great things, let's ask and expect more from Him!
