What greater thing is there than worshipping God with thirty-something teenagers? This evening during youth we talked about the songs we sing, the words of those songs, and praying through the lyrics as we sing. Then we made music unto the Lord, with two donated guitars, our newly re-skinned djembe and all of our voices. I hope He was as pleased with our worship as I was just being a part of it. God is so good. He is doing His work and we are continually astounded at what He allows us to see.

In one more month we will celebrate our 8 year anniversary! We have enjoyed some sweet time together recently, going off to a nearby village for a couple of days and taking weekly dates. One of our youth girls came by yesterday while we were out. When Walker told her we were on a "date," she said, "Again?" It is really fun to talk to them about how good it is to be married to someone you enjoy spending time with, someone you share a heart for the Lord with. We are thankful.

As Christmas approaches we are yearning to be home, even if just for a bit. Do keep praying for us. We are in constant need of your prayers as we continue serving here. And write to us, anytime for anything. We love and miss you dearly!
