Lots of Family in Breckenridge, Texas

In July, before Brandon and I made our journey to Africa, we had the chance to spend some quality time with lots of our family. We went to Breckenridge, Texas to my grandparents house and there we saw my grandparents, my Aunt Martye and Uncle Ernie, my cousin Kevin and his lovely new bride Brittany, but it didn't stop there. Brandon's mom and grandmother also came over to Breckenridge from Lubbock and spent some time with us. What a treat to have the chance to spend time with so much family under one roof! Thank you Mema and Poppy for letting us hangout at your house!!! It was a blessing!

Noah is so excited about the Guitar that Jama gave him.

Jama gave Emma Grace a necklace and poem.

It was very sweet.

To top it all off, on Sunday night, Brandon and I attend church with Mema and Poppy and were overwhelmed by the love and support we received from their sweet church. As a group they laid hands on us and commissioned us for our mission trip. It was a night I will never forget and I feel honored to have had that experience. At the end of the service, they all wished us well and presented us with a check to go towards our trip. There weren't even words to thank them and tell them the difference that they were making in our lives and those of the Malawians.
