What happens when we pray.....

This is Juanito and he is precious. When he first met us this is how he looked.







Then as he gets to know you he starts to warm up and he looks like this.






Then after spending some time with him you can get him to do this! Have I mentioned that I love my job?

The team is off... and we are sad!

Well friends..... our house is a lot quieter, not much going on here. The team left for the airport at around 8:30 am and will be heading back to the US. It was a wonderful week full of great times and lots of laughs. We enjoyed the worship and eating together, seeing the smiling faces and watching our people fall in love with our friends. I get emotional watching our people meet and love on our other people. It is like you are seeing what it will be like in heaven. I have never been so happy to call myself a M. This is the job for me. To see people fall in love with Jesus and then grow in their faith. It is just plain fun! Kingston Ave. will always be remembered here and always be talked about by the people with whom they touched. There are more pictures and I will try and pick the best ones to put on here. That is a tough job but I will try.

Before I try and download lots of pictures I need to ask you to pray. Please pray for my sweet friend Fair. Fair has been my friend for many years! Our friendship was birthed in Asheville, NC and has grown stronger ever since. I was fortunate enough to be able to catch up with her while we were in Wake Forest as she now lives near there. While we were there Fair was blessed by God with a horrible ear infection that gave her verdigo and made her extremely ill. Although the Drs. were sure all she had was an inner ear problem, they did an MRI to make sure there were no other problems. Because they did this, they found she had a brain anyurism. Had this not happened I cringe to think what would have happened. However, God is good! He showed them at just the right time what they needed to know. She had brain surgery on Tuesday and is now recovering at home. She shouldn't have any problems now. However, Fair tends to heal slowly from things. So, PLEASE pray for my friend, Fair. She needs prayer that she won't have any ceizures and that the large scar on her head will heal quickly. Pray also for her husband, Tom and their 4 children. They are very close friends of ours and it would mean a lot to me if you prayed! Thank you! Missy
