Church Addition

We are excited to see our church addition getting close to being done!  We're starting a new Sunday School program in March, and our dad has been working hard trying to get things finished.  He appreciated having some extra help over the last few weeks!  They were able to help get all the ceiling tiles in and it looks great!!

Happy Birthday Joanna & Deborah!

Joanna's celebrated her birthday on January 2nd 

in Tennessee.  Deborah's birthday was 

January 15th so they celebrated a little

 early for her and had fun together.

Deborah was sick when they celebrated 

so she had her candle in her tea. :-)

 The girls had a great time in New York! 

Dad and Naomi are in business with their N&J pretzels. :-)

NYC Missions Trip

Deborah, Joanna, and Rebekah had a ministry opportunity 

to go with a group from the Bill Rice Ranch to New York City.  

They set up several prayer stations and have gospel literature 

available throughout the week.  The Ranch has done this 

for years and always see a lot of people come to know 

the Lord through this outreach.  The girls were 

available to talk with deaf people as well. 

CJ & Sarah came from New Jersey 

to spend a day with the girls and help.

They have been able to do some sightseeing
 in the evenings.  They went to the top of the
Empire State Building one of the nights. This
is from their camera phone and it's still beautiful!

Rebekah's Traveling

Rebekah is excited about the opportunity she has to travel with 

Dr. Bill & Mary Rice this semester.  They left today and will 

be spending most of their time ministering & recruiting 

in Florida.  Please pray for their safety as they travel.

Christmas Day

We had a wonderful Christmas with family visiting from 

St. Louis, Singapore, Tennessee and Florida. 

There were two naughty kids surprised to 

find a lump of coal in their "stockings." = )

Hannah was excited to get a real mannequin to 

practice her skills on.  She's loves to do hair and 

nails like someone else we all know and love. = )

David has a pet lizard our mom has graciously 

allowed in the house. = )  He was happy to get a 

leash he had been wanting for it.  We were 

happy to see it on a leash outside the cage! = )

It's funny that one unnamed person ended 

up at both tables.  More than likely there 

were two different plates of food too. = )
