Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

8 years ago the Lord saw fit to gift Ruth and I with a little girl. Ruth and I were so young at the time! (29 years old) So now we are all a full 8 years older. (you can do the math)
Elizabeth has had a very full year. Only one week after her 7th birthday we left Michigan to move down here to Chile. The first couple of months were a difficult transition for her as she really missed her friends and family in Michigan. Thankfully she now has adjusted well and has made new friends down here.
There are many things for which we are thankful for our daughter Elizabeth. She is an obedient daughter and a very loving and responsible big sister to her four younger siblings. But over all of these things we, as her parents, are most thankful for the spiritual insight that the Lord has given her. Of course this has a lot to do with how well that she is doing in other areas as well. Please pray along with us for her further understanding of the Lord and His Word and that she would be empowered through His Spirit to put His Word into practice.
