Summer Happenings.

This is just a quick update. I haven't been able to keep up with everyone's blogs partly because I've been away and partly because Ben and I don't have internet at home for the summer because we've been away a lot.

Summer has been flying by - I've been to Beulah, Grand Manan, Sussex, and Boston. While at Beulah I had the joy of hearing about my 3 year old niece's dream in which giants were trying to get her, so she called on Jesus and He saved her from them. I love that childlike faith. Baby Owen (my brother and sister-in-law's baby) finally made an appearance and he is so precious! My brother is such an excited daddy and fascinated with his new little blessing. I will be posting pictures soon. Please keep baby Owen in your prayers as he does have to have a brace put on him for at least six weeks due to his hip and legs. A week from today Ben and I will be on a plane to Prague for a weeks vacation and then we'll meet up with our team for Ukraine. It hasn't really sunk in yet that we're going. I'm a little nervous about the flight although I've been on planes many a time before. Should Ben and I cross your minds during the month of August please say a prayer for us. We won't be home until August 26. It's been neat how the Lord has been providing for our trip. Just this week a new couple that moved to our area and is attending our church donated some money for us.

We received our first letter from a child we're sponsering in Africa. It was so exciting! I love writing letters "the old fashioned way." If you knew me and wrote to me during my teenage years you would've received many a decorated envelope.

I've started the final Harry Potter book (finally!) and intend on finishing it before I leave for Prague.

I've been running into a lot of good friends throughout the summer. It's great. Thus far I've been living it up and just being free with life.

I apologize for the short and vague post, but I assure you that once I return from my trip, I'll be able to fill you in on some more happenings.
