Hi, everyone! Hope you all are doing great! We are doing well here at the Ranch. Learning a lot! I just finished my fourth week of full-time teaching. I won’t lie, it’s been very challenging. God is definitely teaching me some lessons in patience, endurance, and self-control. Those aren’t very fun lessons, but I am choosing to be thankful and optimistic. : )
John is staying busy with church events, Bible studies, visitations, and meetings. He will be leading 2 missions teams from America in July. He is also spending “man time” with Lincoln every Tuesday morning. Linc and John go on adventures, play ball, and wrestle. On Thursday and Friday afternoons, Daddy is in charge of Lincoln and Clara. They have tons of fun!
Clara is loving “big school” (preschool) and learning a lot. She knows 4 verses from Psalms, and her teacher says Clara does great in question/answer time. She is quite the social butterfly! Everywhere we go, people call her “Barbie.” Clara currently is into shoes, princesses, and bugs.
Lincoln is enjoying his nursery class; he brought home some worksheets the other day and told me how he had to “follow instluctons”. Linc is all boy! He has found some great wrestling buddies at the Ranch, and he just got his own basketball. But growing up with a big sister, sometimes he can’t resist walking around in Clara’s high heels!
God is teaching us about His Provision! Last month, we lost 10% of our monthly support pledges, and that was very scary. But, we knew that God would be faithful! You, our supporters, gave above and beyond your regular monthly pledge, and we received EXACTLY the amount that was lacking. Hallelujah!
Thank you for your love, prayers, and support. We miss our family and friends, but God has given us a great support system here, and we are content. These children are so precious, and are in need of so much love. We are doing our best to love them with God’s love, and help them in every way that we can!
