Blessed Sunday

Robert's Birthday is coming. We thought about what to do for him. But we will be busy on Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night. Finally we decided to give him a gift card at his favorite restaurant.

Our baby news spreaded very fast on Sunday. Everyone asked about our China trip. We had to explain that we cancelled it and we are expecting our baby. It was a joy to see the big smiles and experience warm hugs from everyone. All the people sitting in front of us, besides us, and behind us knew the news. All the single friends heard about it. And most of the Friendspeak workers and our Sunday class got the news. Paul came over and said Tuesday night Bible study at George's house prayed for us. Everyone we saw began to ask me how I was feeling. We were so blessed! We were also happy to know that Debra and Lance found their new house in McKinney. They will move in next weekend.

Maggie didn't come to Friendspeak. Hongyu couldn't come either. Both David and I studied with two new comers. I enjoyed reading with Casey very much. She came from Shan Dong province, where Heidi and Xuan came from. Xuan and Dawn happened to sit next to us. I introduced them. They became friends instantly. Since it was the first session for Casey, I told her about the structure of the Bible, the authors of the books we were going to read, etc. She was so excited when I gave her an Easy-to-read Bible. David had a great time with his new reader too. We both wished we could continue to study with them, but I guess both Maggie and Hongyu will come back next week... We didn't catch Robert and Gail for the Birthday gift. On the way home, we saw their car in church parking lot. David put the gift back on the front hood. Hope they would see it when they came out of the church.

We dropped by Owana's house and gave her the DVD. She gave us some pecans. We were very glad to hear that someone is going to come over to mow the lawn tomorrow. Otherwise, David and I were thinking to do that for her - the grass was out of control already. While we were standing outside, Bill's dog came to the front fence waggling his tail. David had pity on him: He must miss Bill badly ...
