There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

NOV 2013: OUR MISSIONARIES

MISSIONARY UPDATE
NOVEMBER 2013

I want to document some activities of our missionaries -- Hyrum in Taiwan and  Melissa in Florida.  We are so proud of them and the service they are giving to people in their own part of the world.  
Both are working hard and growing so much!

 I, Mom, was so excited to get a picture of Hyrum.  He has been sending really cool pictures of enormous spiders and beautiful country side.  Thanks Hyrum for taking one of you for your mother!  Doesn't he look great!  Looking like a missionary man.  I am proud.
Sometimes I still have a hard time believing that Hyrum is really a full-time missionary like the elders that we feed here in Arkansas!  How did he ever grow up so fast???
Enormous spider!

BAPTISM!!!!   Yahoo!!!!

 I don't know if it is individual personality or a difference between boys and girls, but we receive lots of pictures from Melissa.  Maybe I rubbed off a bit on her -- she is great at documenting experiences!!! 

 Melissa has tackled everything put in her path from chainsaws to sting ray to 
being a trainer on her 1st transer!  And now 
is an American Sign Language Missionary!




Fishing suprise!
