There's no place like home

Stuart and I shared three services with Pastor Ron and Joy Hawkins and our church family at Fort Wayne First Assembly, this weekend.


Stuart and I have called First Assembly home since 1997. We had the privilege of serving as youth leaders, Adult Bible Fellowship teachers, home group leaders, and missions committee members. Prior to our missionary appointment, Stuart was the property manager at the Coliseum Blvd location and I also worked part-time as a receptionist and graphic designer.


However, nothing beats sharing our heart and ministry with a church who has loved and supported us from the very beginning. Thank you, Pastor Ron, Missions Director Marilyn Tolbert, and everyone at Fort Wayne First Assembly. 
You made our day!


Yesterday, also happened to be BGMC Sunday. All these coins will help fund feeding programs, water wells, curriculum and other critical needs around the globe. On behalf of all Assemblies of God missionaries who rely on such support, we thank you



Stuart and I hope to return to Mexico City in a few months. But we need generous people like you to partner with us to proclaim release to the captives of drug addiction and to set at liberty those who are oppressed by the sex trade. Please consider a one-time gift or recurring monthly commitment today.

We can make a difference together!

Missionary Monday . . . snowed in

Currently, it is -12 F here in Fort Wayne with over a foot of snow on the ground.


So what to do when you are snowed in . . . 


Well, for one, you play a lot of dominoes :)


I baked a "hootenanny" pancake for Christmas morn. 
I have to admit, this Connecticut girl is a little embarrassed to write "hootenanny," but it was delicious regardless of its name!



Jack the abominable snow dog loves the cold and snow.
Stuart ended up putting him in the bath to melt the snowballs off.


Chocolate and tea for Christmas.
"Keep Calm" "Don't Panic" - are my kids trying to tell me something?


Chocolate fondue, sparkling cider, and poppers to ring in the New Year.


Our backyard this morning.
After which I spent 2 1/2 hours on hold with American Airlines to reschedule Olivia's cancelled flight.


So what to do when you are all snowed in?
Atticus has the right idea:
 "Keep calm and take a nap."

Feliz Día de los Tres Reyes!
