Early 2014

I have returned from Texas after visiting my daughter’s family. I sure do love my three grandchildren!

Spring is in the air. The whistle pigs (our area ground squirrels) have come out of hibernation. The ministry is changing.

As usual, we recently had to say goodbye to one our dear airmen on a Friday night. He is leaving active duty to pursue going to a Christian college with hopes of being in ministry in the future. We love our dear Preston. Some of our group prayed over him during his last visit with us.

Friday nights are going well. Eric is such a good teacher. We have a great group that comes.

The Protestant Women of the Chapel (PWOC) here is still doing well. We did another cookie giveaway at the BX last week. Our Bible study is phenomenal. Of course we have issues….especially with child care and winter sicknesses. But I have seen women grow deeper in spiritual maturity and that is something for which I’m excited!

These lovely women pictured above get together with me regularly to crochet and talk about spiritual things. This week they expressed a desire to go deeper. Yay!

I started to crochet a year and a half ago and God has really used this as a vehicle to get closer to other women. I recently posted a picture of a project I just finished on facebook.

This bag is made from plastic shopping bags. One of our fellow Cadence missionaries ministers to military wives in Cambodia. She has asked me (after seeing this picture on Facebook) to consider bringing a few of the local military wives to Cambodia to teach these women how to make these and market them. I have only mentioned this to a handful of our gals here in Idaho and I already have three who say they want to go. I have just now started to explore our options for this. But I am excited about the possibilities.

Thanks so much for your prayers for Ed. He is doing well but misses being here in Idaho. June still seems far, far away.
