I am so grateful for all that my girls have been blessed with in their lives. (I don’t mean things, I mean people, blessings, opportunities, etc.) They have been given so many opportunities and have future opportunities for various jobs, travel, etc.
Gracie is having a wonderful time in England and is learning so much. She has already met many wonderful people, and I love hearing about it almost daily. One gentleman she met while they were talking to folks at a park asked her where she was from and she replied, “America, Louisiana” he looked at her and said, “JERRY LEE LEWIS?” She said that was not what she expected at all for him to say, but then he said, “swamps?” She said yes to both lol, the people there have been very kind.
You can keep up with her adventures on her Facebook page and mine, as well as she has a “newsletter” she is sending via email every few weeks. If you would like her newsletter, you can send me your email address. Thank you for all of the prayers and support.
Enon Baptist Church had the children show off what they learned during Vacation Bible School this past week. They had the best time showing us the music, their knowledge of the verses they learned, and motions to the songs. Thank you to Mrs. Alice, Mrs. Christy, and Mrs. Cameron, along with all of the teachers, helpers, and kitchen workers for your efforts to make our VBS a success.
