A few things

My parents left on Wednesday (sob). Dad preached a message Sunday morning about HOPE. Mom and I worked in the sewing supply room organizing and picking out fabric for future bags. We hate to see them leave, but we had a really good time with them while they were here!
A new family arrived on Friday who will be staying with us at the mission until June. They are Troy, Deana, Matt, Nate, and Jon Brooks from Kentucky. I know they will be a true blessing to us and the mission. Among many other things they will be involved in, Troy will be working at the clinic and helping teach the nursing class. I will let them tell you more about themselves later, but I wanted to go ahead and introduce them. We are so glad to have our new neighbors!
Adam has sadly been sick to his stomach for the past two weeks (although my dad was convinced it was just in-law-itis). Troy has given him some stuff that should help so we are looking for him to get better very soon.
Happy Birthday, Adam - today is his 26th birthday!

I sure miss "my boys", especially all the help I get from y'all. But,
I DO know that you will learn much about helping those that do not have the opportunities you have. I believe you will be very helpful and that you will be blessed in many ways!!

Guess who!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
