Mom, me and David
We had an early Christmas celebration with my family while they were here. Dad kept the family tradition alive, reading the Christmas story to his kids and grandkids before we dug into the presents! (We were missing my sister Laura and her family...she had just had a baby the week before!)
David LOVED Uncle Steve!!

Singing at our church's candlelight service (held the day after Christmas)
Caleb and John Hays ready to leave the blustery Iowa snow and
live in the hot African desert for 3 weeks!
These are just a few shots of Caleb and Bro. John on the mission field.
The people in the above photo all accepted Christ after Caleb preached in their village!
Bro. John gave each village a water purification system he invented and Caleb gave them the Water of Life! It was a wonderful team effort for the cause of Christ!
Praise the Lord for the 1,200 souls that were saved in Africa!
Meanwhile.....
David and I enjoyed sunny beautiful Florida while Caleb was gone.
We had our spanish pastor and his family over for dinner a couple nights after Caleb got home. Isabella and David are just one day apart in age!
The next night, we had the Fikes family over - they just moved here from Florida. We are so thankful for their friendship and are excited to have them in our church!
We love hosting company and are trying to fit in as much of it as possible before we go back on the road next week!
