Sunday Funday February 2022
Prayers and Praises
February has been full:
Surprising news was that I found out I was approved by insurance to have Breast Reduction Surgery: (of couse I wrote about it) and then had it February 21st! It all happened so quickly, and I am definitely still recovering. It is not an easy surgery (are there any that are?) and I am a pretty grumpy sick person. Caid has been amazing, and everyone has been so supportive and kind. We are so entirely grateful!
A kind gift sent by friends!
Two super amazing annoucements: I will be leading a team to Brazil this summer (June 25-July 8) Would you like to come? I am working with World Renewal and four Community Churches to put together Mission Moments for Kids: breaking down missions into bite size pieces (or at least PDFs). You can check out the first couple of months of curriculum here.
