Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

Happy New Year!

Well, I'm only a week late! :-) I hope that each of you had a wonderful Christmas and that you enjoy a Happy New Year! I flew back to the US from Korea on Christmas Eve. Mandie, Mike and Ioan took me to the airport in Seoul and my flight left at 2:00pm... I arrived in San Antonio, TX the "same day" about 7:00pm! I am thankful that I didn't suffer very much from jet-lag. Friends had told me to try to sleep at the beginning of both flights, (going and coming) and I have to say that it worked pretty well.

Tony and Teddy were waiting for me in San Antonio, with flowers! What a great welcome home! We enjoyed Christmas Day with Tony's mom and then on the 26th we all drove up to Hutchinson, KS and met up with Ashley and Lexi and both of their fiancees and both of Tony's sisters and their families! We had a great time with 18 people in the house. I doubt the house will ever be the same, but we had a wonderful time!

We left Hutchinson on the 31st and drove back to San Antonio and then caught an 8:00am flight on the 1st to head back to Ecuador! We know that New Year's was in there somewhere, but feel like we kind of skipped it! We flew into Quito and enjoyed spending a couple days with our friends, Glenn and Sherri McGhee. Flew into Manta on Thursday evening, the 3rd.

It was so great to be back at church yesterday! Everyone seemed so excited to see us and welcome us home! We had 80 in the church service, with a few visitors. Please continue to pray for our church here. We are in the process of raising money to build on the new property. Please pray that God's people would respond and that we could make this a reality this year.

Pray too, for Teddy and I, both of us are a little under the weather with colds.

God Bless you!
Joy

Baby Ioan is 1 month old today!
