Out for a stroll

James and Jerard come down to Faith Academy several times a week. We are so thankful for the double stroller we have.

New Bike

Ben has been wanting a bike of his own since he mastered bike riding this summer. He saved up money that had been given to him and some of his own allowance to buy himself a bike this weekend.
Kurt and I took him out to a local, reputable bike shop Saturday morning. He is so excited to have a bike of his own. Most of Saturday was spent riding the bike on our street and in a local cemetary.

Ben says, "Thanks, Grandpa, for helping me get a bike!"

Matthew 7: 7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

1960's Banquet

The High School Staff had a "Staff Serving Students" banquet Saturday night. The kids were told to dress in 1960's fashion and bring a car from that era to the '1960's drive-in' themed banquet.
Mikayla wore bell bottoms, a 'hippy top' and had beads in her hair!
She enjoyed the banquet very much.


Hippie Mikayla!

We are blessed with two other missionary families living on the
same street we do with children attending Faith, also!
