Farewell Fête for Pastor Jean Luc

Just open the door and come on in and join us in our celebration.

A Farewell Fête for Pastor Jean Luc, who is leaving Morocco after nine years .

It is sad to see him go, but we know he'll do great things in his new ministry,

as he did for all of us.

Enzo and I

Going through some old pictures today, as I find myself doing ever so often,
and I came upon these pics of me with Enzo when he was still a baby.
I decided to post them and share them with you..
He's now 5!!!!
You can see lots of recent photos of Enzo by looking a few of my latest "older"posts.
Isn't he a sweetheart...soon we'll have another baby to cuddle.
I can't wait!!

Enzo just a few hours old!
