~Phillip and Sarah to Colombia, Central PA Youth Convention, CNC Missionary Convention, Kimberly comes home, etc.~

 We just dropped Phillip and Sarah off at the Airport to fly to minister to our Beloved people in Colombia!  

There is a lot that needs to happen on this trip, so we are trusting God to give them God-speed.  

Besides Ministry, the main matter of business this trip is to get some important paperwork done in the government offices.  

God is able to make a way before them!!

Please also, pray for Sarah!  Her stomach has been hurting on and off for a few days!  We wonder if she might have an ulcer?  The comforting thing is to know that Jesus is going with her! 

~Our Dear church always gathers and prays for their missionaries before they go on a trip.  

It is so encouraging!!~

~Sarah and Phillip leaving this AM.~

~The kids and I did a fun table for Phillip and Sarah the day before they left.  

I love to "Shop my house" for things to put on my table!  I don't always have enough of everything, but variety and mixing and matching is fun.~ :-) 

~The kids and Phillip and Sarah at the airport this AM.~

~COLOMBIA BOUND!!~

{Sarah sent me this pic!}

~PRAISE THE LORD I FOUND MY MISSING KEYS!!!!

My keys have been missing since December!  I have looked everywhere and PRAYED LOTS, and Praise Jesus they showed up!!~ 

A HUGE THANK YOU to each of you who bought Sarah's lasagna to help her pay for her trip to Colombia!!

~CENTRAL PA YOUTH CONVENTION!! (CPYC)~

JESUS REALL HELPED BRO. HARRY PLANK AS HE PREACHED!!

OUR FAMILY WAS SOOOO GLAD THAT WE GOT TO GO TO CPYC AGAIN THIS YEAR!

THIS IS OUR 3rd YEAR AND WE LOVE IT!!!

WE LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE OF PRAYER AND SEEKING GOD, AND GOING ALL OUT FOR HIM!

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT FOR OUR FAMILY!!

~We were SO GLAD to get to see our Kimberly again at Central PA Youth Convention!~

~ Bro. Frank Heidler was the youth evangelist at Gospel Center Revival in Phoenix, AZ where we sang this past November.  It was so fun to visit with him and his dear wife Jodie.~

~My Dear friend Jamie and I~

~We always stay with our good friends the Hoffmans.  They make the nicest goody baskets for us!~

~So good to worship Jesus together as a family at CPYC~

Bro. Jaime.  Jesus really helped him as he gave his testimony!!~

~Kimberly and Noah enjoyed playing volleyball with our youth group on Saturday.~

~Phillip, Jaime, and Josh.~

~The 2 Heathers.~

Heather came over to meet me and we talked and laughed together like 2 good ol' friends!

~We love it that God meets with us and young people are encouraged to come and talk to JESUS ANYTIME!

~The Beavertown church does an amazing job and feeding all of us...and such YUMMY meals!!~

~My Dear friend Kim Hoffman and I.  We took a quick trip to a discount grocery store and they were passing out ice cream cones for FREE!~

~Youth Choir on Sunday night.~

~My niece Darla playing offertory.~

~Kimberly's youth group singing (Our Sarah and Noah joined them.) ~

~Noah got to have one of Andrew Durst's ties.~ 

~Saying goodbye to our Kimberly~ 

~We got about 22' of snow while we were in PA!  

It was no SNOW fun!!~

~My Sweet friend Kelly took this pic of Phillip and I.~

~Heidi Hoffman, Doug's sister, had us over in the middle of the snowstorm for yummy homemade Chicken Noodle soup and rolls!  It was a delightful evening!~

~Mary made a little snowman before we left PA~

~One night, Phillip was asked to tell why he brings his family to CPYC~

~The Lord helped Phillip and I as we spoke to the parents on "Staying on Board with our kids!"

~2 knives that Elijah made.~

~Abigail put together treats in her little muffin cups and passed them out to her family.~

~Phillip singing with his Brother-in-law and nephew and Andy.~

~Sarah and her cuz Darla.~

~We enjoyed watching Darla's violin recital on line.~

~JOSH GETS HIS PREACHER'S LICENSE!~

~His Church and Pastors gave him a Preacher License!!~

~It was such a special service, filled with God's sweet presence.~

~We love Josh and his family and are so excited to see what God has in store for him.~ 

~Josh's Grandpa, On his Mother's side, was also a Holiness Preacher. 

This is Bro. Ellers holding Josh when Josh was a little baby.

I think one or both of these were Bro. Eller's Bibles.~

~LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW!~

When we moved to our area, we were informed that we don't get a lot of snow out here, and get less than Cincy.~

But, Jesus has been so good to us and has given us lots of snow the last little while.  It was perfect to stay home, drink something hot, and get caught up on Schoolwork, music practice, laundry, etc.~

~Abigail turned one of her Pillow Shams over and made a bed for her doll.  I found it when I went to wake up the girls in the morning. :-) ~

~SWEET GG!!!~

I found this old pic of our Sweet GG and our kids.  This was probably about 5 years ago.  We cannot believe that GG is GONE! We're happy she is in Heaven, but man, we miss her!!~

~Abigail peeled a cutie and served it to our family.  

(I wonder where she gets her love for making and presenting food, and serving it to those she loves?! :-D ) 

~Josh and Sarah!~

~Our Mary has started getting into Calligraphy and she is loving it! 

She is doing a great job.~

~We went and spent a Fun Day and night with Gramp and Gram, my parents.

Gram made the kids the cutest little cones.

Sadly I didn't get hardly any pics.~

~Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Then we drove over to see Phillip's parents.  We had some much fun being together, eating, laughing, etc.~

~The kids enjoyed playing in the snow.~

~SWEET AUNT CAROLE!~

My Sweet Aunt Carole was the given-est person you ever met!!  She would give until it hurt!  She was always buying fun food treats for Laura and I.

Some time ago she bought me a huge bag of these Peppermint Sprinkles.  They make such a fun coffee, or hot chocolate!

I cannot believe she went to Heaven shortly after GG!  How we MISS both of those Sweet ladies!

~While we were with Dad and Mom D., Michael and Beth, and Phillip and I took a quick double date and ran to Lowe's.  

Beth and I were laughing as our 2 very Particular men took every board off the shelf and looked down them to find the 2 straightest boards. ~

~Here we are all masked up.~

~Poor Dad and Mom had a valley in their roof and it got iced over and then started to leak in their kitchen.   These girls loved collecting "Plant Water" for Grandma from the dripping roof.~

~A choir came to our church.  So our family helped Grammy pack the choir lunches.

Here are Pastor and Abigail visiting.~ 

~Snow everywhere!~

~I love my Little "thingy" to keep my hands warm when I hold my coffee.  

It was made by my friend Germayne, known as "Creative Native." :-) ~

~Noah holding Adorable little Ellany from church.~ 

~Kimberly comes home!~

We had so much snow that Phillip had to tow Kimberly up our driveway.

~Playing games.~

~The pond near us froze over.

After Phillip TESTED the ice to make sure it was thick enough...(And he lived in MI, so knows how to test the ice)

the kids played soccer on it...

~And Mary skated on it.~

~Kimberly was happy to hear Pastor Preach again.  

She is HAPPY in NC, loves her new church and pastor, and I don't think she misses any of us 

very badly ;-) 

but she was happy to come back home, and to hear pastor preach again.~

~Kimberly and one of her FAVORITES, her cousin Brittany.~

~Friends~

~Winter scenes on our drive home from church.~

~BIBLE STUDY~

~Sarah and I have enjoyed being a part of Bible Study on the book of Nehemiah.~

~God has met with us ladies as Susan Carter guided us in digging into God's Holy Word!! 

We have also wept before Jesus and begged Him to help and forgive our Country and send us a world wide Revival!

I want MORE OF JESUS!!!

~Global Holiness Missionary Convention 2021~

God really helped Bro. Melvin Beecher as he preached for our Missionary Convention!!

Here Pastor is praying for him.~

~It was so nice to visit with our fellow missionaries the Flings, Sis. Calvert, and Brandee.~

~On Saturday, our wonderful mission director and his wife, Mark and Kristal Becker, took all of us out to eat some Indian food.  

(Sadly the Flings, could not stay, since they needed to get back to their church for Saturday night prayer meeting and for Sunday.) ~

~Mary with Pastor and Grammy.~

~The creek across from us FLOODED and covered the road in front of our house.~

~On Sunday morning of Missionary Convention, we were privileged to sing with our CNC choir.  

God's Presence settled down on us as we sang,

"IS HE WORTHY?  YES, HE IS!!!~

~Mary and Abigail's Room~

The girl's were praying for some white night stands and Jesus helped us to find some on FB Marketplace for a good deal!

Then we got some little lights to light up their room.

They are so happy!~

~The boys went camping on our hill in January.  BRRRR!!~

~Abigail and I did not camp, but brought up some breakfast and coffee and sat around the fire with them for a few minutes.~

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS FOR 

PHILLIP AND SARAH WHILE THEY ARE IN COLOMBIA!!!!!!  

WE ARE ASKING JESUS TO HELP THEM AS THEY TOUCH LIVES FOR HIM THERE, 

VISIT WITH AS MANY OF OUR DEAR PEOPLE AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN, 

AND THAT GOD WILL HELP THEM WITH THIS PAPER WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!

~HEATHER~
