Trusting

The last week has had its ups and downs. Last weekend was very busy, but very fun with lots of time with friends and family. Our friends Laura, Sam and her brother spent the night Friday-Saturday, had some more friends over for games and dinner Saturday night and then went up to Portland to celebrate my nephew's third birthday at the Children's Museum.



The week went by fast as students didn't have school on Friday, but we teachers got an awesome day of catching up and planning. Thursday was a more difficult day, but we can still see how the Lord has blessed us through it. Paul was in a car accident on his way to work on the back highway roads to Stayton. Such a blessing that he and the other drivers were all ok, but the car was determined to be a total loss. A couple other downer events happened on Thursday that we shouldn't speak publicly about, but are keeping us faithful in praying and trusting the lord.


A couple of teachers are going to Cabo during Spring Break; I think I want to join them!

Paul's brother is in India for a while so we had a Hynes family dinner before he left...

Update

We had a great Christmas and New Year's with family and friends. Lots of short day trips to Portland and Corvallis. After a nice break we are back into our daily schedule and routines.

Please keep Paul's family in your prayers. Paul's grandfather, his mom's dad, passed away in his sleep on January 6th. This was a bit unexpected and they could use your prayers as they begin to plan for his service and life without "Papa".

At the Hynes house in Gresham; all the siblings.


Christmas morning at the Spence house in Corvallis; love these guys!
