Anniversary and New Baby


Hey, did I get your attention?? Sept. 16 was a day to celebrate. Keith and I had our 10th Anniversary. Last year we had our anniversary at our interviews and orientation at Action International Ministries head office in Seattle, and this year in Lusaka, Zambia! If you had told either one of us 10 years ago that we would be serving as missionaries with our four children in Africa, there is no way we would have believed it. Isn't God great?
Now, the new baby story. No, not us! Grandma Bev, a teammate, has been working with a church for a few years to create and build Emmanuel Homes and School. The homes are to house double orphans in a family setting for the duration of their childhood. The school also for poor community children is open and functioning. On Sept. 16th, Emmanuel Homes received their first child. She is a month old baby girl and everyone is so excited! Ladies at EFCMM - this is where your handmade quilts will be loved and snuggled under.

Hi Guys,
I can't believe it's been 10 years Happy Anniversary!! Gavin (my brothers boy) turned 2 on your anniversary, boy is he getting big! love seeing the kids pics. they are sure growing...we have a young guy living with us since Mid July, having some minor problems could use your prayers.. He's been in some trouble with the law and now thinks he doesn't have to abide by our house rules...but I guess that is a 19 year old for you. Take care and God Bless. We'll continue praying for you all.
All our love Tim & Rosie
