I suppose that's what a new year is all about. Before the 2 month period had past for 2006 I was inducted into ADELPHOS as their new missionary, found out I was going to be a grandmother and that my son was going to get engaged!! WHEW. Have no idea what this new 2007 holds..it will be fun to see. Meanwhile since I last posted I have gone to Cedarville, OH., Bloomington, IL., Harriburg, PA and Hanover, PA with Patricio Oliva (the president of the Chilean Mission agency) to be his interpreter. WOW..it was tremendous. I drove a lot of miles, but God blessed in tremendous ways. One for me was a sister in Christ who is a beautician cut and colored my hair as a love gift to me (THANK YOU KATHERINE) and for Patricio was the tremendous love offering of $1000 from Grace Community Church (THANK YOU PRECIOUS BRETHREN!).
The hardest part about the trip was being without my "Lucy time" for a week and a half! Then I got home, saw her one time and I got sick for 13 days...MAN..I felt like a prisoner in my own home. Now I'm all better and I get to see her when I want to and when we all have time to get together.
Christmas was fun...I spent Christmas Eve at Mike and Susan Morykon's house with Brian, Joy and Lucy and then the next morning my precious son-in-law fixed us a yummy pancake breakfast (watch out Emeril..you may be out of a job soon!).
We are thinking that we might want to make this a family tradition and are praying for the funds to come in for the Morykons to come home from France for Christmas every year. What a fun time and I feel so blessed to have a special relationship with Brian's folks. Don't know if Lucy understood everything that was happening as she was only 6 weeks old at the time..but WE sure enjoyed Christmas with her!
New Year's Eve found me at a place I haven't seen for 6 1/2 years...The Nix's Christmas Tree Farm...that's where Brian and Joy got married in 2000. Thanks Paul and Becky for your wonderful hospitality and GREAT food. So that's it for now..hope to post pictures. PS...Here are a few pics for you!!
