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.

We arrived in the US on Wednesday morning, July20th. We had an uneventful trip, which is ALWAYS nice.

Tony and I both had doctors check-ups on Friday, the 23rd. That all went well. I have a couple appointments at the end of August, right before we head back to Ecuador.

Saturday we drove over to Knoxville, and enjoyed spending the night and visiting with good friends, Pete and Sonya Wright. It was fun to catch up with them. Teddy really enjoyed having time to play with Megan, who is also 8. Sunday morning we were at West Park Baptist Church. It was great to be in one of the Adult Bible Fellowships for the 9:30 service and in the 11:00 Worship service. It was good to see old friends! We had a WONDERFUL lunch at the Chop House, with Mark and Carol Weaver. What's not to love about giant sweet potatoes and Prime Rib?! :-)

Yesterday, we made the trip from Crossville to Springfield. We left really early in the morning, and made great time. It was so fun to get here and be able to see and hold the babies! We are sooo very blessed.

I pray that each of you enjoys the blessings of the Lord this week!

God Bless,
Joy

Friends

It is such a wonderful blessing to be part of the family of God! It makes it possible to meet people that you've never known before and after spending just a little bit of time with them, you feel like you have a friend for life.

Last Monday afternoon, Tony, Teddy and I took a bus trip to Guayaquil. We went there to meet a team of 5 people coming in from Knoxville, TN. They were all part of mission team from West Park Baptist Church. Of the 5 people Tony and I had the opportunity to meet 2 of them about a year and a half ago, for an evening meal.

Now after spending the week with them, we feel like each one of them is a very special friend, and we really do hope that they will be able to return and that we will be able to visit with them when we make a trip back to the US.

I am so thankful for each one of our supporting churches. For the friends we have been able to make in each one. For the impact many of you have made on our lives, on the lives of our children and on the lives of many people here in Ecuador.

This week, not only did these very special people minister to our church family and community, they also blessed our family and ministered to us.
