No Computer

We apologize that we have not had any recent posts on our blog. Our computer died about two months ago, but we should be getting our computer soon. All of our information is being transfered over. You don't realize how disconnected you feel from the world when you don't have a computer. There is a lot for us to write. Hopefully we can update you soon.

Dominican Republic Missions Trip

Please be praying for me and the team of ladies from my church. We are going on a missions trip to Dominican Republic for a week. The trip is March 12-19. I leave in two days. I have never left my kids for more than 24 hours, so a whole week away is going to be a stretch for me. I am very excited about what we are going down to do, but just realizing how much I will miss them. Please pray for me. I want this trip to bring me closer to God, and to allow Him to change my heart. I look forward to writing about the things we did. Look for more posts coming soon.

Macayla's Little Mermaid Birthday

Sunday, we had Macayla's 3rd Birthday Party. All of her friends came over. We had six 3 year olds walking around and 3 babies just taking it all in. It was crazy but fun. She had a little mermaid birthday because it seems to be her favorite. She even wore her little mermaid costume the whole day.

We have some great friends. They stayed the rest of the night and the adults played games. We had a lot of fun.

King Air Plane Dedication at Agape

Agape had a cookout on Saturday to dedicate our new plane.

We had a huge turnout, probably 500 or more. The food was wonderful.

Macayla's friends and their parents came to Agape for the fun.

They had never seen Jeff's work before. It was great to share that with them.

It was great to see so many people there to celebrate with us.

The kids enjoyed coloring a paper with Agape's plane on it.

We had a lot of fun at Agape Flights.

Chickenpox Girl

Please pray for us and our family. Mariah has what looks like chickenpox. We will know exactly when the test results come back. She has red dots all over her body. The worst spots are on her face and on her scalp. She looks terrible and miserable. Please pray that she will not get any in her mouth which is painful to eat. Also pray that she is able to sleep through the night (this has been the worst part so far). Last night she was so miserable that she could not sleep. Pray also that it will not spread to the rest of us. Poor thing. She is so tiny to be so spotty. She is still cute despite all of the spots.

A Busy Christmas Season for Jeff

Christmas is always really busy at Agape Flights. For instance, the week before Christmas Agape did three flights down to Haiti and Dominican Republic just to try to get all of the Christmas items down to the missionaries. Jeff flew one of the flights down to Haiti. He also did a flight to Arkansas to pick up Agape's new plane. We had sent our ugly duckling plane to have a paint job and now it is a beauty. She looks amazing.

BEFORE

AFTER

This Christmas marked a year since Agape's plane crashed into the Bahama's water. It also was amazing that we went a year without our own plane and still was able to do the work and get all of the items needed for the missionaries. Thank God for our safety this year. Now with our new plane God has awesome plans for Agape Flights. Join us in our journey by praying for us and our family.
