My Present

Okay, Andy bought me my christmas present yesterday and last night he hid it somewhere in the house and he dared me to find it. So i went to our spare bedroom and went straight to his old t-shirt drawer and immediately he yells, don't look!
So then i say Hide it again. I leave the room and then return in 5 minutes and look exactly to the scanner because the usually quiet piece of machinery is now making a weird noise. I say hmmmm that is funny, could it be hidden in that???
Andy then yells NOOOOOOOOO don't look.


He then hides it one more time and one more time, i find it on the first try.

In the end, i would like to say.... andy is pretty simple to figure out some times. or maybe i am just pretty sneaky??? he is my husband and i love him sooo........

my brother and LUCY

okay i have now learned how to put pictures on our computer.
The HUGE one of me was a mistake,

This is a picture of my brother Joe and my parents dog Lucy.
Isn't she cute!!!

Guadalajara

Today Andy and I recieved a call from another Missionary and her Husband who are in Guadalajara.

How encouraging and excited it made me. She spoke on what it is like thier and what they have been doing and it made my heart leap..

Guadalajara is in Central Mexico. It is a city of 10 million people!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine. Iowa only has 2 million people. Guadalajara has about 30 evangelical churches. So that is about 300,000 for one church....

Crazy,, Guadalajara has also about 2 million street children. Can you imagine that as well.

What a mission field. But right along with that Mission field is Iowa.

When Andy and i itenirate to different churches, we really emphasis that missions is a team thing.

Some are called to go, some to pray, some to give. It is not whether or not you are called. Because all are called to do something even if it is little.

Whether you pray for missionaries or give or go. All of us work together to further the kingdom of God.

I just thought that i would share.
