Every once in a while we have the priveledge of bringing our kids out on the road with us. This last trip Nathan and I brought our boys, William and Sam, out. No one loves this more than our crew guys! They love interacting with our kids. Here is a series of photos of our kids saying goodnight to Ryan, our video and light guy.

Notice how exciting the boys are to show Ryan how much they love him!

I sometimes worry about William and Sam because they are so calm. They don’t really know how to have a good time.

Ryan really does love it when the kids include him.

Looks like Ryan is giving Sam a goodnight hug.

And now Ryan is sad to see them leave.

No worries Ryan, I am sure they will be back…when you least expect it.

Today we met Jose’ Miguel…
He is the Compassion child that Mercyme has recently started to support. We all individually have supported Compassion kids for years, but in this new phase of MM and Imagine a Cure’s connection with Compassion, we thought it would be awesome support a child with special medical needs. Well today we got to meet him, and you can tell from the picture, he fits right in with us!!! This kid is hysterical…he loves to laugh…mostly at me. We were asking him what he like to do, and he said play baseball and a cricket like game that the kids here have made up. I said I’m not very good at sports, and he said…” you’re like a little baby….hahahaha” So my name is now Ninero Loco, which we thought meant crazy baby, but in fact means crazy babysitter….who knew?!?!?!

Please pray for Jose’ and his family…between he and his 6 brothers and sisters and his Grandmother and step mother, there is bed in the house. We hope to rectify that as soon as possible, but this is only 1 of MANY needs in this community. Pray that Jose’ and his family will all come to know Christ as savior, and be a light in their village!!!!
