Great Joy

This past week our boy, Dalton, attended a week long youth congress in Washington DC after winning a national essay contest. He was chosen as one of four of the 100 present to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the last day of the conference. In two weeks he will finish his high school work at the boarding school where he has been for the past 8 months and graduate.

It's been a long haul.  With great joy my whole family will be there to celebrate this important moment.

With my gratitude we thank all of our prayer partners and friends who have faithfully supported us and 

our three boys over 

the big haul of the past year.  

Please don't stop!
