We are so excited to be visiting the U.S. again!
We will be here from Sept. to Nov.
and are grateful to have this precious time with our family
and an opportunity to visit some Ministry Partners!
A special joy for me has been seeing my children Cale and Alex and
meeting my new granddaughter Addison Emilia,
who is now 2 1/2 months old.
And of course seeing my princess granddaughter Timber,
who just turned 5!
They are my sweethearts!
In addition to sharing what God has been doing in the CML Ministry, we have also been hearing how God is moving in the lives of our friends here.
One Praise report we want to share is how the Lord is working through David and Anita Waters and their ministry, Waters Edge, to help provide clean drinking water to rural villages and schools in Ghana. While visiting with them we viewed pictures and videos of some recent trips and witnessed a sharing of God's love in West Africa. Please feel free to visit their web site at http://weministry.com for full details.
Discussing the clean drinking water challenge in our area they were touched and generously offered to donate a water purification system to the CML Ministry and extend "a cup of cold water" to their brethren in Kenya. We Praise God for this as the mobility of this purification system will allow us to go"out" and provide clean drinking water in remote areas with previously undrinkable water!
Below David is showing William how the purification system works.
Then it was time for us to try.
The system is mobile and easy to operate....
...running on a simple battery!
Here they are "testing the waters" so to speak!
Being blessed with the love and generosity extended to us by wonderful friends we have so far traveled to SC, TN & FL and hope to visit TX before we leave.
Below are just a few (because I keep forgetting my camera)
pictures taken along the way.

Me in front of the Royal Carribean cruise ship
that our friends David & Anita took us on.
We enjoyed a delicious plate of shrimp and friend alligator in Florida....
.... but the alligator took revenge on William!
Speaking of revenge...
I wonder what these frogs would do if they had a chance!
Here we are frog hunting (or "gigging" as we call it) with my brother John his girlfriend Stephanie and nephew Wilson.
Stephanie had the dirty job of cutting off the legs...yuck!
But they were oh so good when fried up~
As we continue enjoying our visit and seeing as many people as possible, I will try to post updates and more pictures. Please contact us by email at one of the addresses below if you would like to meet with us or have us come speak to your church or group while we are here.
