This is the month folks when Ed gets back from deployment! Ministry is NOT the same without him. Ministry has continued while he was gone. We have had holiday gatherings, Friday night events, baby showers, PWOC programs and Bible studies, etc.
Memorial Day Weekend was full. We had our regular Friday night dinner and Bible study. The next day, lots of our gals got together at our house to put together shoes for children in Uganda. Below, Jessica is displaying our first complete set.
We had a Memorial Day picnic at Eric and Janet’s house. Their backyard was packed! We took time to pray for Matt as he deployed the following week.
Our Andrew returned from deployment last month. He is getting out of the Air Force and will be going to school in Spokane to train to be a MAF pilot. Some of us went with him to MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) in Nampa, Idaho. We are so excited for Andrew and Lisa. We will also be sad to see them go.
Friday nights at our house continue to go well. This past Friday we had a full house. We anticipate losing 3 dear couples to transfer this next month.
We have developed great relationships with our group. One Saturday, a bunch of us went to the zoo to celebrate Paisley’s first birthday.
Our Protestant Women of the Chapel (PWOC) is going great for summertime. We had a gal step forward to lead and she is doing a phenomenal job. Our first Bible study of the summer was well attended.
Since I last wrote I got to take a VERY quick trip to Roseburg with Leigh (an AF nurse here). I got to see my dad and Carole; my mom and Jim; my in-laws and my precious son.
Did you know there is to scale replica of Stonehenge on the Washington side of the Columbia River along Interstate 84? We took a side trip on our way home. I like this picture of Leigh with Mt. Hood in the background.
