Laura turns 13 !!!!

One of the fun things about big families is celebrating birthdays! Not only do we have plenty of birthdays to celebrate, but we have lots of family to celebrate with! Laura wanted her brothers to plan the games for her birthday party. They got off to a reluctant and last minute start, but they pulled it off, and Laura thinks they are the best brothers ever!

Peter's turn

Peter has been officially accepted to Operation Mobilization to join their ship ministry for two years!!! He needs to raise his support, and if all goes well, he will head to Germany in January for a two-week training session, and then join up with the Logos Hope, probably in Hong Kong.

Nice way to start the day

We live along the Sambre river, and BLF, where Philip works, is along the same river.
Philip tries to take his bike to work as often as possible. Or maybe I should say, as often as it isn't raining, which it quite often is here. We have had fantastic weather the past few days, and here is what he saw on his way to work this morning. What a way to start the day!
