Dear friends:
We were able to spend all day Saturday and most of Sunday with Amy and her friend Amanda here in Jax, FL. It was so good to see her. The girls flew down here late Friday night so Amy could get Neal's car. They both went to church with us and we had lunch....showed them the city (at least a little of it) and walked on the beach. They both made it home safe to NC Sunday evening.
This morning, Amy checked in and she will be working in an office with 4 others and she likes her new assignment. This was a big answer to prayer. Probably this week, she will visit the doctor and then we will know what her due date is though we think it is around Thanksgiving.
Neal is good...he has a phone now so he calls more often. This week, his missions start so keep him and the team in your prayers. We don't expect to hear much from him for at least one month...this will be the hardest....especially for Amy.
Things are good here at the house. We keep unpacking boxes and painting but it is really coming together. Rhonda will be coming this Sunday for a week and I can't wait. Also, East Pointe is giving us a reception on Sunday too...very nice! There are lots of lizards (small ones) around here and we have a small alligator in the pond at church...we actually saw him the other day! So far...no gators in our pond :) This city is spread all over because of the intercoastal and Atlantic ocean so today I have determined..I am getting a GPS finder! I have to be able to get around and this will be a quick way to learn and not get lost so quickly.
We cruised the beach (in an old 1981 souped up blazer named "Bonita") area last night...so much to do down there and also we found some private places to park and walk on the beach (thanks to some of our new friends here in Jax). I am also going to get a bike to ride on the beach and through the streets down in that area...it will be fun. I miss everyone, but I sure do love the Florida life!
Mark is busy at church with Kevin and the team. We do love the church and when you visit us, we think you will too. We have two services on Sunday AM, no Sunday PM and we have dinner and bible study/classes on Wednesday nights.
Pictures to come soon....love all of you,
Cathy

Hi,
Glad to hear all is going well.
I pray the Lord give you good friend and great opportunities.
We look forward to hearing all God continues to do through you.
Let us know what Amy's having, if they are telling:)
The girls and I are biking this summer also. I think it's their new
craze.
I have a new ministry opportunity amongst them. It seem they are on a roll reaching the catholic girls and bringing them to me to disciple. It's great.
I was raised catholic so God is giving me a chance to really share the difference between religion and relationship. The have formed and group they are calling the 'rcw' Reformed Catholic Womans group. I told them "you keep reaching them, and I will keep teaching them" What great team work God has brought between us.
Anyway, keep in touch I know God will continue to us you both for his glory.
Cheryl
