visitors!

we were so excited to have "auntie anna" come visit. she is such a special friend to me and i am so blessed that she would come visit with us for a couple days! the kids enjoyed going to the airport to pick her up, dropping her off at the train station, and all the extra attention in between. they prepared some questions in advance about life in south america which made her visit more exciting for them than if she were just another adult hanging out.

we hosted a little dinner with a couple more friends who wanted to visit and i was very pleased with the kids' behavior. (we saw some hard parenting-work pay off a little. so that was an added bonus to the visit.)

it is so fun to see the people you pray for and hear how God is working in their lives. after our last missionary visit, the kids were so eager to pray for them and have been consistent in their prayers for the family and the work they are doing. it is a blessing to have these encouragers come into our home even for a couple days to bring to life God's heart for all the people of the world.
