New Friends

Henry became very attached to Greg (especially) and Alice. They camped with their daughter and son-in-law right next to us. Greg would talk to Henry and give him little cans of apple juice to drink and other treats. He really made "H" (Rich's name for Henry) feel special. Whenever we couldn't find Henry, we checked over at the next campsite & there he would be! After visiting with Alice a bit, I found out that they loved the Lord with all their heart and we shared our testimonies with each other. We had such wonderful fellowship with them during the next few days. These dear folks kept inviting us over to eat their food.

We want to become more adventuresome and get so that we can do m...

Yesterday I met the Meridian School District library coordinator at my new school & she trained me on some things. She is wonderful and will be such a help to me this year! I spent the rest of the day working on the library. It needs alot of cleaning & organizing. I wish that I could have Sara come and help me brighten it up but I'll have to do it on my own with lots of help from her art blog!!! She is such an inspiration!! It is so exciting to be able to get back into an elementary school setting. My principal is extremely supportive & eager to have me make the library "my own." That is a great feeling. Books, music, art, and children - can it get any better than that? I would love to teach the children about the best book of all - God's Word! That would make it perfect!! However, I can teach them to love good literature and lo...
