First, Happy Easter to each of you. I hope you all had a chance to reflect on this special time and what it means for each of us. Church today was excellent and I must say I should have worn waterproof mascara as more than once I was brought to tears about this season and Christ's sacrifice for me. But, He is RISEN!! Praise the Lord!!
I think many of you know, but we returned to the States this past Monday night, and what a whirlwind of a week it has been. Lots of family time and lots of working. But. as always, God paved the way and so many people we need to see or reach are falling in our path. My mom was able to visit as well which was great. Aubrey is loving her time here and enjoying her family time. And in other exciting news, we visited the doctor the other day and had a sonogram done for baby Siete (what the Dominicans are calling the baby). And although I was 100% sure it was a boy...SURPRISE... it's a girl!!! Needless to say we are beyond thrilled (I know we would have been either way) and cannot wait to meet this little miracle in July. The thought of Aubrey being a big sister is still unreal to me as she won't be the "baby" but the older one. Just crazy to think about.
Also, please be praying for J, his dad, Fred and Daniel as they make their way to the DR this coming Wednesday for a FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) camp on the South side of the island. This camp hosts baseball coaches from all over the island for a few days of training, leadership development, and most importantly discipleship. We actually have over 100 coaches attending the camp from Sosua and the surrounding areas and San Luis. We are very excited for these coaches to attend and for their growth, so please continue praying for them.
Thanks for all of your love and support throughout this journey! We love you guys!
And in honor of this special season:
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Matthew 28:6
