Drinking Her In

We have one month to drink Maisie deep into our souls, and then she leaves, forever.  Meaning, she'll never really come back and live here.  We're taking every chance to let her in.  

We join her while reading and chatting on the balcony.

We join her when she makes goated connections during CFM.

She taught us about Dunkin' Refreshers -- so off we go.

Because she's loved, her mission companions came to hear her homecoming talk.  Maisie testified so clearly and intentionally about forgiveness and Jesus's role in that process.  She spoke about her NH friends and their joy when feeling His power in their lives.

L-R: Waffs, Babs and Casserole

She did it!  We love her.

Together we watched Ryan and Molly in the youth talent show -- look at Ryan "riding the waves."

Maddie is winning track races.

Ryan asked to make cookies -- he did it all by himself.  So good -- both the process and him.

Now more than ever we miss our missionary, Nick.  Maisie pines for him whenever his picture crosses the Google Home or when we are laughing and singing.  He is working hard in the heat and mold.  We have a new plan for washing the mold out of his clothes -- it's a vinegar bomb.  We're all amazing when he switched in rapie-fire Portuguese.  "He's so wholesome," is Maisie's summation of him.  She's right. He is.
