Family Visit

This weekend Michael's Mom and Dad were able to go to Pensacola to visit. Michael was able to spend time with them Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday. Michael really enjoyed the visit. And Robbie Ball came on Saturday afternoon and was able to meet Michael's parents. They learned some new visiting "tricks" too! For instance if you are planning on eating lunch from the vending machines, buy it when you arrive and set it on your table or else your options are limited when lunch time comes. You can pile your food on your table (all preservative-filled and you microwave when ready so it won't spoil) and no one bothers it. There are board games and cards and indoor and outdoor seating. He even got to enjoy an ice cream sandwich after lunch - what a great treat! His parents also experienced how different the FPC world is - having to wait an hour to get in on Friday since everything shut down until the power at the camp could be turned back on after going out. During the wait they were able to talk with other families and reported that everyone was very helpful and friendly. They also learned that the change machine was not that helpful and that it is better to bring quarters and dollar bills for the vending machines!

This Wednesday Michael has a "team meeting" where he is given his recommendation for job placement. He is praying for a teaching or kitchen assignment and we would appreciate your prayers for the same. Today he gets to go to the dentist, where they "count your teeth to make sure you have them all and record it for my medical file." Fun times! But he sounds like his cold is going away and he was in good spirits!

Thank you for your continued prayers for our family! Madison and I would like to add that since termite season is starting, please pray that they do not find our home tasty and pass right over! This Florida girl will never be used to swarming termites nor the (very southern, drawled) response from our termite bond company when we learned about swarming termites: "Oh honey! Don't worry! They just swarm and swarm for 24 - 48 hours and then just die. Those are not the ones to be worried about!" I beg to differ when 100,000 of them die on my front step and get blown into my home when the door is opened!:) Especially with a small child and a curious cat living here.

Have a great week!
