| This update is all about family and celebration. A number of you have asked recently, how are the kids? What are they doing these days? Well here is the fun information you all have been asking about. A ministry update is coming soon, but for now this update is about our family and a blessed time of celebration, a double celebration that is. It is rare that we can get all of our family together. We are in different countries and in different states. Our family gathered last month to celebrate our oldest son Cameron’s marriage. Here are some lovely photos of the ceremony, pictures of the family and a brief overview of what everyone is up to and where they are in the world.   Cameron has been living in the Midwest for over 5 years. He and Adrianne met at church in Kansas City Missouri. They married March 2nd in Estes Park, Colorado. The candle lit ceremony was unique and intimate with only a handful of guests. Hours before the wedding a fresh blanket of snow created a snow capped backdrop to two peoples love for each other and to their love of God. Cameron is 26. Cameron continues to work all things related to the tech world of computers. Over the years, he has had a number of jobs connected to the computer industry. His new job, just recently acquired, marries (pun intended) work in security, systems and coding. Adrienne his new bride, works as a vocal coach and does private music lessons. They are a perfect pairing for each other. We could not be more pleased to welcome Adrienne into our family.  Josh, 24 years of age, continues to have the itch for travel and living overseas. He currently lives in Mexico, just outside of Mexico City. Josh served in the US Marine Corp for 5 years, and has been doing various jobs since. On a trip to Belize to help Chris with the issues surrounding Belize, he met and fell in love to a lovely gal from Mexico. Here is what we mean by the double celebration… Josh is married!!! Sara a doctor and Josh studying Spanish and working as a ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. They felt they wanted to marry in Mexico. When time and money permit they will come to the US and have an American church wedding ceremony in addition to their Mexican wedding. Sara is a great match for Josh. They really are an amazing, lovely and strong couple. Are we surprised that Josh is creative in where he lives and how he got married? Not at all. Josh has always done life very much out of the box. Divine meeting in Belize? I would say so. We are excited to welcome Sara into our family too. See what we mean by the double cerebration we have had!?!?  Jessie, age 23, lives and works on the east side of Seattle. Jessie and her amazing boyfriend Garrett met while playing volleyball, Jessie’s one true passion. We love how they where brought together loving the sport of volleyball equally. Jessie has a new job as an assistant manager to a local private pool. After working as a manager at both Target and Starbucks for 5 years she was in need of a change. She had a brief stint working at a high-end camera store where her second passion, photography was strengthened. Jessie continues to take photos, but felt retail is in her past. Her new job helping run the pool is a great fit for her. She loves variety and has a great work ethic in whatever she does. She overseas the life guards, does scheduling and other admin and teaches private and group swim lessons. Now that her schedule allows more flexibility, she is also pursuing coaching volleyball to young girls. Chris and Lynn. We aren’t sharing how old we are. Ha. But we are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and our 23rd year in missions this year. We are blessed beyond measure by our three fabulous adult kids and two new daughter in laws. God has answered our prayers of having the right marriage partners for both our boys. Celebration and thankfulness abound.  Thank you for sharing in our joy. Thank you for partnering with us in missions. Be on the look out for a missions update. God is good. All the time. All the time, God is good.  |
