Good Friends

This past weekend was filled with time with Friends. On Friday we went to visit our friends the Diersings. They have recently moved and are now only a little over an hour away. We wanted to see their new house and deliver some maternity clothes as they are expecting their 2nd baby in February. Charissa is their 6 year old as of today. Happy Birthday Charissa. Unfortunately I forgot my camera on the trip, so I don't have any good pictures to share, but we had a good time of fellowship and just catching up. We love Troy, Gloria and Charissa and are so thankful that Jesus has kept us close these past 10+ years!

On Saturday morning the Grahams came to visit. Wes, Summer and Bradyn live in Montana and we haven't seen them in several years. We had only seen pictures of Bradyn and enjoyed meeting her for the first time and introducing both Eli and Maddie to them.

Wes and Ron were Best Friends growing up. They attended the same church and have stayed in touch even now as we are miles apart. It was fun to see them both with their daughters.

The boys showed them how boys played with their daddy...

As Bradyn and Wes looked on in amazement or fright, not sure which!

Ronnie, Nathaniel and Eli all enjoyed the pictures and videos from Montana and the cowboys!

They also enjoyed helping Bradyn and following her around!

Here is Summer with Maddie. Summer helped me realize that Maddie's hair is long enough for little pony tails. (she also put them in - it seems I need lots of practice)

We had a great time with both families. Ron and I need that interaction with others in ministry from time to time. We are thankful for all the families that Jesus has brought into our lives, but especially those who share with us in ministry. It was really an encouragement to Ron and I to have this weekend filled with those who know what we do and who walk with us! Isn't it amazing how Jesus knows just what we need, and when we need it!!!

Thank you Jesus for Friends who are in ministry and share our burden for lost souls!
