The first event of this month was the baptism of our newest grand-daughter, Eliana Dawn, Wil and Amy's daughter. She was born October 16th. Her
name means "the Lord answered" and she is the answer to a six year long prayer. Paul used the baptism ceremony his Dad used and the questions my Dad would ask of the parents and church family. It was a great time of celebration.We then spent a week with Anna, putting gutters on her/our house in Chattanooga and spending time together. At the end of the week was Mission to the World's Global Missions Conference. Paul lead two seminars on partnering with churches to care for missionaries and we were both on a panel talking about issues unique to missionary life. We saw many old friends and made new ones. Two of my sisters and my brother were also there so that was really special.
Time to go spend some time with Joanna and Sam Ward, two of our grandkids so will continue this later.
