Hi pastor Gene and Paige, It’s so wonderful to see the pictures and hear that you all are doing well. After a big thunderstorm last night, today the blue sky is an awesome sight. Last night when we were driving down to teens group the rain was pouring down so heavy that I thought I’m driving a boat. Jonathan and the teens are drawing a big welcome home poster for you, he counts that we’ll see you in 4 days. May God continue to bless you and guide you wherever you go! We missed you! Lily, Johnny, Jonathan, and Andy.

The sky is blue today and the temperature is about 80 degree! It is a perfect day for yard work =)
We are looking forward to see you soon. Take care and have a safe trip home!

Dear Gene and Paige, Mom has been busy chopping down trees for Gene and dusting shelves for Paige. She’s been a big help while you’ve been away. You and the whole team are doing such vital work for the Kingdom- God needs us to simply express our faith in very tangible ways so that they see the love of Jesus in our eyes, our touch and our words. I’m so very happy that you are all together working on this to bring glory and praise to our Savior. I hope you can rest a bit in Amsterdam before the trip home. Call me on my cell when you arrive at Dulles. I’ll be making the trip down to pick you up. The CCCGW teens would have liked to meet you at the airport, but the time isn’t working for their schedule. They’re praying for you and look forward to your report. Thanks to everyone for being God’s instrument. Let the blessing flow! Ingrid

Kathryn & Steven: (Sunday, noon): The dance recital was a big success. Sarah Ann received her 3rd year trophy, and I gave her roses at the end of the performance. It is a beautiful day here and we will go to the pool this afternoon. I’m convinced that the dogs walk around here in a depressed state since you’ve been gone. Every time that someone comes to the door I swear that they get this excited look in their eyes that it just might be you! Steven, I hope that you and Andrew have been able to renew your friendship and that you have seen some eye-opening things on your journey. Everyone here misses you both. Love, Dad (Art), Scott, & Sarah Ann.
