Samuel and Tiana

This is our friend Samuel with his mommy,Jenell.Tiana is this precious little girl who was playing peek-a-boo for the camera. Isn't she adorable? Did I say Annie hung out with the girls in my post below? I meant girls and boys! ;o)

All the boys on their horses

More fun with Mike!

We had an awesome day today and of course an awesome night last night! Mike loved attending our group last night and they have really enjoyed getting to know him! And of course feeding him! Poor guy has eaten at every place we have taken him. Today the boys, Greg, and some missionary friends took Mike and they went horseback riding to the ruins of a nearby volcano. They had a great time! Annie stayed with the girls and had fun playing in the dirt. She can be ALL girl and play in the dirt at the same time! I love that! Tomorrow we are taking the man we hope to be the leader of our church and his family on a day trip for his birthday. This should be a fun day for us all. I will try and post more fun pics tomorrow. love you! Missy

These are some of the pics that were taken yesterday when Mike arrived. His first Mexican restaurant, our neighbor, Mada's kitchen, talking through Skype with his 5 boys in the US, Jerod and Annie in our street with Annie and

Mike is Here!

YAY! Mike has arrived! We couldn't be happier! I must confess that there was a small part of me that was a little worried something would happen this time that would keep him from coming this time as well. So, we are all very happy that he has made it safe and sound. He was greeted by a very loud party down the street that they were having for St. Joseph. This is the day that all of the carpenters celebrate and boy do they celebrate! Since 90% of the workers in our village are carpenters they were all celebrating in honor of carpenters day! (or I guess that is how it would translate!) So as Mike arrived there were bands and dancing and lots of drinking all in his honor, or so it looked!:o) I told him it was because he was THE American Idol!! HAHA! I know it really isn't that funny...but...oh well....;o) I will try and post lots of pictures each day of our experiences with him, as I am sure there will be plenty! We will go to our study tonight and share that with him and then tomorrow we are going to show him the ruins of a volcano.

Popsie and Annie

I need to give you an update on Greg's dad, Boyce or "Popsie" and Annie. Popsie got out of the hospital and is recovering nicely from his pancreatitis. They are still running some tests on him, so please keep him in your prayers if you think about it! I know he would appreciate them!

Annie is doing super!!Her hand is perfect! I know this picture doesn't really give you a very good idea, she was not in the picture taking mood when I was taking this! So, I only got this one. If any of you have any warts you want to get rid of, I am here to tell you, this really works! Well....Duck tape and prayer! The warts disappeared after I asked all of you to pray for healing for her and we also got very dedicated with the duck tape use! So I am not exactly sure which it was, but... the warts, all of them are gone!! So thank you, thank you, thank you for praying for my baby girl! Love you all! Missy
