4 and 40...our September birthdays

September brings two birthdays in our family and more in our extended families. It is a fun month in our house!

On September 9th, Lane turned 40 years old! We celebrated at home with a good ole' Mexican meal of our family favorite tacos with a little lime juice squeezed on top. Then after dinner we had a delicious chocolate cake with chocolate icing. The kids decorated the top of the cake with Lane's favorite Whopper candies. yum! I am so thankful that you heard the voice of God in leading us in this huge leap of faith to do this work and be in this place. Thank you for listening and trusting Him. My prayer for you, my husband and friend, is that this next year will be marked with fulfilling the destiny and calling God has placed on your life.I also pray that you will continue to listen and hear the voice of God all throughout the year. I love you dear.

On September 13th our daughter Abigail turned 4 years old!  We celebrated with a vanilla cake with sprinkles inside and a family outing later that day. We went to a place called Paradise Lost just on the outskirts of town. For her fouth birthday, she got to ride a horse and a camel! So cool. She rode the camel twice (the rides cost 50 shillings each = about 50 cents) but said it was not as much fun as the horse because the camel was "too slow" and on the horse she got to gallop. The place was surrounded by a beautiful coffee plantation and also had a beautiful lake and a cave to hike. We all enjoyed the outing! Our  prayer for our daughter is that during this next year you would know the love of God in a deeper way, that you would know that you are cherished by the King of Kings, and that you would know that you are a daughter of the King. We love you very much.
