It’s mom again. I forgot to tell you…Aunt Dawn is going to have another baby! Our prayers are with youand the team, and We rejoice with you inthe responses you are getting! Praise the Lord! He is Good! Love you.
Neat blog, you two. Just returned Thursday night from my “missions” trip to California, remodeling my friend’s house. We’ve been praying for all of you and know that God is using you all in a mighty way. Tomorrow we head to the Jersey Shore, then back Saturday night to meet at CLA for the grand reunion. Miss you, Jourdan! Love, Dad (a.k.a. “inner voice”)
I was just complaining how I hadnt even received a “hello ” from you and then there it came. I was a little behind keeping up with the blogs. It’s been busy. I loved reading the blog from you and Zach! I cracked up about you and your inner Rich! Your sisters and I picked dad up from the airport late last night. We had lunch and Juice and Java and had their infamous smoothies. We saw pastor tom and his daughters there and then I turned around and saw Helena. She cant wait to see you guys.
Hope youre taking pictures. I saw the one of you on Twitpic asleep on the plane…the middle is the worst seat to try and comfortable in.
I look foward to hearing of how you spend your days. You all look so great in your uniforms! What an amazing group! I can see the Love of the Lord on your faces. Keep up the good work. Love and miss you. Lots of hugs, honey! Mom
jourds, I miss you so much, my Lady! We love reading about your days and how God is moving. the picture of all of you holding those precious little kids touched my heart. We pray everyday for the Lord’s strength and wisdom as you minister. so proud of you and your willingness to obey and serve the Lord. Leah and Ellie…Hi ! Love you girls!

Ellie… your mom and I went out to lunch yesterday…had lots of laughs and prayed for you all. Jenna misses you. With Corinne in a cast we havent been able to do much. Jourdan, dont forget to take pictures of everything. Grace says hi and misses you. Kisses and Hugs, honey. I miss you and cant wait to hear of your experience and to see your face.
It is almost one in the morning and I cant sleep! So thankful that you all made it safely. I’m thinking of you and praying that you will see our Lord move in great and powerful ways.
Jourdan, did your luggage arrive with you? Talked to dad today…he says he’s proud of you and he misses you. He will be home late Wed night from Ca.
okay…I just wanted to say a quick hi. Im praying for you all. Love you, Jourds!
HI again, Jourdan! I love the picture, but you all look so serious. I’m sure it has some special meaning!! I was thrilled to see your face. Have a great day in Nicaragua. I hope you were able to take some great pictures. I pray God’s blessings as you begin to wrap up your ministry experiences in Nicaragua. I pray for more healings, changed hearts, and spiritual growth among the people you are ministering to. Be a blessing and love on those around you, honey! I’m so proud of you. You have such a heart for the Lord. Love you so much!!! I’m excited to see you!!!! Love, MOM
Hey Lady! I heard you were on the video Wed night, but I missed it. I started to tear up about that. How I would have loved to see your face. Mrs Eschbach kept trying to reach me on my cell,but it was dead. No surprise there!! Jenna got to see you and told us that you had just received your luggage that day. How you managed with just 3 sets of clothes I’ll never know. Hee! Hee! HEe! That cracks me up. I’m sure you were a trooper. Daddy is lying on the sofa dead off his feet from a 10 hour day of work with Mr Williams; he wants me to tell you he loves you. We decided not to go to Knoebles tomorrow because it’s supposed to be 95 degrees, so we’ve decided it would be better to wait until you came home. Praise God about the healing of that little girl. That must have been exciting and powerful to watch. God is good! All the time!! Cant wait to see you. I’m dying to know of all your experiences. Hi Bethany and Erica!!
Love you lots, MOM
Hi again. Cant stop thinking of you, and now I have to wait til Saturday to see you. So glad you are having a great time. Don’t forget to take your Malaria pill on Thursday. Well, since you’re not coming back on Friday, I’m taking your sisters to Knoebels for the day. They need to do something. Jenna is at Eschbach’s house with Leah for the day. She is really looking forward to seeing you, so expect her to be there at the church greeting you no matter what time of day it is. Grace wants to tell you that she really wants you to come back so you can have fun with us. Had a Pampered Chef party at the house last night and I thought of you… you would have loved some of the kitchen gadgets. I pray the Lord’s protection and guidance for all of you! Stay encouraged! We love you, our Lady! Love, Mom, Dad, Jenna, Corinne, and Gracie
Corinne says Hi! It sure is quiet around the house. I hope your having a great time! I miss you so much. Come home soon! Love corinnie

Can’t wait for your return so we can go to starbucks. love you honey. love Aunt Kerri.
