Together (Part 1)


Having my family here at RGBI is a wonderful thing (and I wouldn't want it any other way), but there are times when I need to be creative when studying and watching Kaylee while the boys are homeschooled. Kaylee and I sometimes "study" together at my desk. She watches PBS "Super Why" on my iPod while I attempt to complete my homework. Not much gets done on my part, but Kaylee loves her time with daddy.


Recently Kaylee has been very disobedient when it comes to staying on her own bed. We have dealt with this issue over and over, several times a night, but still, even after all that, she hops into Jordan's bed and falls asleep. It is cute to see them together, but she's still a little stinker.


We were able to spend some time over at Grandma and Grandpa Flinck's house in Mission, TX last Thursday. We celebrated Irv's birthday and Valentine's Day together with a heart shaped cake.


On Valentine's Day, we left the children with a babysitter, so we could go out to eat together. We went out to eat at our new favorite restaurant, Taco Rico (semi-fast food authentic Mexican).

We were invited to Bibleville to get together with all the retirees from the state of MN. Several couples we knew from years before, but many of them we met for the first time. I was asked to share our burden for Chile and what God is doing in our lives. It was a good time for questions and answers and connecting with the couples.


Here is the shot of the whole group together. We are thankful for their hospitality to our family, their interest in the needs of Chile, and their desire to pray for our family and ministry.

Come back again for the second part of Together.

The Bibleville group does a reunion here each year at the end of the summer. They are a neat group.

Looks like fun! Be sure and check out Moonlight Cafe up the road ... doesn't sound authentic Mexican but it is, and it's really good!
