Hi from Bovey!
Checked out your blog today. I always get a warm feeling when I think of you and your family. Just so proud of you, all of you. So fun to see the pictures of the kiddos. Especially love the photos of Dad with you guys. He just is beaming. Obviously he loves to be with you. Also, liked the photo documentation of your "anger management" group. :) I will keep checking your site. Take care. Love you lots. Auntie Laura
Thank you for sharing this list of 31 prayer requests. I hadn't pulled it up before when on your website. We will be praying it for your family and ours as well.
Hi, you don't know me, but I have followed your blog almost from the beginning. I believe you attended language school with my nephew Marc Sankey. I have tried to pray for you when I think of you. Just wanted to encourage you in the work of the Lord. My husband and I worked for a while in Haiti then lived in Arizona with the Navajo Indians for over 12 years. They were wonderful years. Thanks for taking the time to blog. It is a great way to communicate. Blessings on you and your family. deborah collins, Mitchell, Indiana
