Our whole family was able to be together over Christmas this past year. It was wonderful to be able to hang out together. In coming months and years, this will be increasingly more difficult, but we were thankful to have this time.

Cameron has left the nest in order to begin his adulting, which isn’t always so fun. He has begun his semester of EMT training in Iowa. Please keep him in your prayers as he manages school work, his part-time job, and preparing for a medical missions trip to Papua New Guinea this summer. He has had some car problems, too.

Norman continues to keep busy, whether it’s to keep the sidewalks clear of the dumping of snow we got in January or keeping our older cars in running order. He has been sharing his vision for disciple-making with the Council of Six of the WARBC (Wisconsin Association of Regular Baptist Churches). We are praying for God to do more than we can ask or imagine! There is so much work to be done to reach the lost and disciple the believers to do the work of the ministry.

As for me, I continue to take Mom to doctor appointments, keep up with the housework and meals, spend time with our last child at home, and serve in our local church. I also try to encourage our college kids to hang in there and go in faith in the Lord. Prayer has been more on my agenda since the kids are “on their own”!
