Dale celebrated his 11th birthday. His big interests were Batman stuff and cowboy stuff. He's growing up! A week from Sunday, he and Carl will be participating in the Young Lions' service at Bear Valley (I think he'll be leading singing). Incidentally, Gary is serving on the Lord's table at Bear Valley all this month--that's a first here.
We've had several missionaries come our way in the last few weeks. We had a special missions' emphasis Sunday at Bear Valley on 1/28. Cy Stafford (pictured with Cary and Bonnie Samford; I'm holding their precious Aubrey) preached a great sermon on Sunday morning. It was Cy's first visit to Bear Valley (the Andrew Connelly School of Preaching has been "tied" to the school for at least five years). We love the Stafford family. Kathy, Dale and I will join six others from Bear Valley (Michael, Lynn, Melissa, and Matthew Hite and Brian and Anna Wilkie) in Tanzania next month.
Last week, we were able to attend a dinner for Mountain States Children's Home. The dinner was held at the Radisson in Longmont north of town. They had newborn potbelly pigs and our three farm boys had to get a picture with a p-b-p.
Kathy surprised me by bringing my birthday party to the building. 37 and I've never felt better!!
