Traveling

Well, our time in Kansas has come to an end. And instead of going straight down to Big Woods, we are going to go see some friends in Wisconsin and in Ohio! All of us kids are very excited. :)

I'll post later with pics.

God Bless!

Well...MerryChrsitmasHappyNewYear!! And anything else I forgot. ;)
Our time in Kansas has been great, we had a beautiful and quite Christmas with our Grandparents, and now we are getting ready to head back down Big Woods. We are so blessed to be able to go to mass every day here. And we have adoration on Thursdays! I always enjoy being here.
Hopefully I post some more soon,

Life

At Big Woods

Well here I am. Back at Big Woods. And it is good to be back here. Although I can't help but say its funny to be back in warm(er) weather and have the problem of misquitoes in December. :) It has been a blessing to see this years Intake, it has just been so great to be back again.
I can't really even think of anything else to say other than, I'm glad to be back. I'll post agian later with some pics.

God Bless!

Going back to Big Woods

This is just a quick update, I'll post more soon!

Wow, I can hardly believe it. The time for us to leave Oregon has come, we leave early Wednesday. The time we have spent back home has been absolutely wonderful, family and friends have changed so much! My whole heart breaks to be leaving my home, the faces, the hearts and hands are so familiar, so dear to me, and they always will be. But I am looking forward to the community of missionaries that await us in LA. I am looking forward to the praise and worship, to the laughter and friends that will be there. Life is full of changes, leavings and beginnings, we just have to accept God's will and go with what he says. Next stop: Big Woods
