In early September, we hosted a Father-Son day full of fun sports activities including croquet, volleyball, horseshoes, garden bowling and of course, soccer. The fun, laughter and food was followed by a Spiritual message. It was unanimously decided we need to do it more often!
The Men’s Bible Study meets every Tuesday night. One of the young men attending grew up in the Children’s Bible Study. Other men have wives in the Lady’s Bible Study. Some are invited by existing members, including a couple of men Art knows from our local gym. This month, Art recognized Agusto for completing eight…
Lisa was truly surprised in August when she walked into Bible Study to find it was a surprise birthday party. The ladies decorated the day before while she was gone. They had been conniving behind her back. She feels so blessed by this group of ladies and their children who love the Lord.

After a long period of time not being in the states together, we spent the month of March visiting family and friends in California, Arizona and Oklahoma.
