~We're loving having the Beckers here! Part 1~

Please excuse any mistakes in this post.  I'm trying to post this in the midst of a BUSY life. :-)

THANK YOU for praying.
The Lord gave the Beckers a safe trip and we have been running 90 to nothing showing them Buenos Aires and with ministry.
Here's some pics to enjoy!
~Since I had fallen the night before and was quite sore, Phillip took us out for pizza their first night here.~

So, finally we ....~
~Called Noah to take our picture. :-) ~

Dearest Heather, I have checked on you all every day and finally got a note that you are still alive. :) Sounded like you had a wonderful time with the Beckers. It was Mark that got you the monkey and brought it back to school with him after Grandpa passed away. He also brought all the other kids something but I always remember the monkey. Do you still have it? Daddy and I are still sick with the bad cold that we have had for three weeks now. No fever but a hard cough. You are not going to recognize our house. Daddy has the front porch done and is working on the sidewalk today. It is a bad day for me and I haven't been able to help him, but it is fun to see. I love you all, Moma
