Beside the fireplace in Rebecca's Dream House is the place to be on this winter wonderland day.  The snow continues to fall, turning the dull browns of winter into beautiful white.  As long as I don't remind myself of having to walk home in a little while, I can enjoy it!

Randy and Gwendolyn left Jimenez Tuesday, after lunch.  Wednesday morning they were at Mary's and today (Friday) they are in Virginia.  An arduous trip under normal circumstances, but racing against the elements, pulling a trailer and wrestling with sinus problems makes it a real hardship for Randy. 

Because of the winter storm, Randy made the decision to drive through the southern states to Tennessee, then across to Virginia.  I missed seeing everyone, but know they will be back this way soon.  Lanny did get to see them for a little while.  He said William was laughing a lot. They grow so quickly, or is it, time marches onward?

Family Ties - Changes

How things change in our lives!  When I started Family Ties seven months ago, Randy, Gwen and their four were busy in Jimenez and Rhyan was working toward Central America.  Lanny and I were living in the trailer behind Jeff and Rebecca's house in Mineral Wells while Rhyan and Lauren were packing the big ol bus with all their belongs from inside Jeff and Rebecca's old house.  Jeff and Rebecca were moving into their dream house in McAlester. It is amazing to just look at where we are today!

Randy, Gwen and their FIVE have left Jimenez and are on their way to Thailand!  Lauren has completed her language classes and they are finishing deputation to return to Central America.  My trailer is now behind the "dream house" in McAlester.

Tommy and Mona have spent much time on the field in Chiapas and are now on deputation!  Randy and Gwen have made a trip to Thailand and Lanny and Randy made a trip to India!

David and Jolene had a beautiful Jewish lady saved while on their anniversary in Jerusalem!  They moved into their new home.  Billie had another of her ladies banquets with souls saved.  Praise God for each testimony shared, each soul saved.  To God be the Glory! 

I spent a month with Lauren and Rhyan in Antigua, Guatemala.  I spent a month in Cd. Jimenez, Mexico with Randy and Gwen.  I've made three other trips back to Jimenez.  I've been to Monterrey and to Missouri. 

About six o'clock, last Saturday evening, Richard Henry Ashcraft; Uncle Bud, closed his eyes on earth and opened them in Heaven.  He was three months short of ninety-five!  God blessed him with a long, fruitful life.  He spoke of Jesus as naturally as one speaks of a brother or neighbor.  He spent much of his time on earth telling others of Jesus Christ.  I am honored to have met him and I joyfully include myself as his niece.

January, 2010, here we come!! 

   

Thanksgiving

It would be best to change this page for something else. It is not working as well as I had hoped.
