Amy Turned 2!

Hi there,


One reason I like to keep a journal is so that I can make sure that I don't leave anything important out of these blog posts. Although we talk with my parents regularly, we unfortunately cannot talk with all of our friends and family on a weekly/biweekly bases, so many of them only know what is going on with us through this blog.

Word of Life Hungary had its annual Mission Conference last month and Chris made a video for it. If you want to watch the whole conference you can do so online. Click here to see the first meeting, which starts with Chris' video. I recommend you watch the whole conference and praise the Lord with us!


Chris' grandma passed away last month. While it is never easy to lose a family member, we are very thankful for the time we had with her. Amy was always excited to see her, we could tell she loves her. And of course great grandma felt the same way about Amy. We have several precious pictures of the two of them.

Amy and I attended our very first American basketball game. We went out to celebrate Karen's birthday by watching the Sycamores win! We had a fun night. A week later we celebrated Amy's birthday (a little early so Dave could be there before he left for the Philippines to teach). It was Amy's first time eating a cake (I don't give her any cookies, cakes, or candies yet). Well, she ate the icing and left the cake. I don't blame her! : )


Chris and I try to be involved with our church. We love Sunday School and getting to know the people there. We also enjoy serving in the Nursery and I even started teaching Jr. church (which I do only once in 2 months or so). Other than these "Sunday activities" I attend the College Bible study (weekly) and the Women's Bible study (monthly) as well as the College Dinner (biweekly). I am very glad I can be part of these ministries and learn more about God. Unfortunately these are at night, so Amy and Chris are asleep (or at least in bed) by the time I leave. 

Next time I write, I will tell you how my dad's flight went and all the fun we had since he came. Yup, he is coming in less than 3 weeks! We are very excited to have him with us. I am sure he is, too! Please pray for his trip!

God bless!
