We're Back!

Well we came home last night to about 20 feet of snow and streets that haven't been cleared and we had to put the truck into 4x4 to get into our garage. We are excited to see everyone but the kids are both sick and Willie and I are feeling it to.
Willie is really missing work down there but he's excited to get going on the farming and of course he's analyzing our house ready to redo everything in the basement but we'll see how ambitious we get.
God has been so incredibly good to us and we're so amazed at how he has kept us under His protection through all this and we just give all the glory to Him for an amazing time of being servants in a different environment. We're excited to see what He has for us here in La Crete. We're also waiting for our friends from the south to come up and see us in the near future :-)
We got to see Gramma and Grampa last night so that was super - then on to our home to reacquaint the kids with their rooms. They loved it! Olivia loves her pink room and Samuel will be busy for the next week just discovering his toys again. We have an invitation for supper today which we're very excited for - Samuel is looking forward to seeing his little friends again!
Thank you for your prayers and we want to thank each of you individually but it might take a few weeks to get around. Thank you Jesus for prayer and for people who care! There are people on the Gulf Coast that are so less fortunate than we are and yet they live lives for Christ and have showed us what glorifying God looks like. To live real lives in Him! Beautiful memories.

Oh, so you are back. What a welcome. We pray that as you adjust to life back in La Crete, that you will find joy in renewing friendships. I hope you'll keep blogging! Some of us can't come over for supper and want to see pictures of the kids and news from your life!
