Ben hasn't had much opportunity to learn to ride a bike in the Philippines, but here he has picked it up and loves it!!!!!
We were blessed to find a good bike for Kirsten at a yard sale and to have friends loan us a bike for Ben. They are enjoying riding, especially now since Grandpa just had new asphalt put on the drive way!
Kurt and I celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary today.
We are going on a three day get away to a retreat center for couples and families in ministry. It will be good to have uninterrupted time to talk, renew, and draw closer to each other again.
Kurt is a wonderful husband and I am thankful to be married to him.
1 Peter 3: 8Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.Mikayla is at Camp Michawana this week with two friends from our sending church. Lydia, Mikayla, and Hannah have been friends since the girls were about 4 or 5 years old.
Pray for the girls, camp counselors, and all the campers to draw closer to Christ, and have a safe, fun time in their various activities this week.(Hannah wasn't at the camp yet when we checked in the girls so she is not pictured below at the check-in activities.)

I really like the peacefulness and beauty of this photo.
