Since most of you don't know this family, let me introduce you. This is four year old Josh. I couldn't decide between the two pictures, so I put in both. You decide which is most appealing.
This is Josh, feeling a little low for reasons unknown, getting some comfort from his dad Trey. Trey works as the Director of Life Center. He has a true love for all people and lives to serve them.
This is Lily (18 months). She's Josh's sister. She just learned to enjoy DVDs and knows how to dig through a drawer full of them to find her favorites.
Did I mention how cute Josh and Lily are and how they bring so much sunshine into the Martin household?
Here's Lily, sitting on her mom's lap on the way to some family recreation.That's a schwarma she's eating - the national fast food of Jordan.
Her family has a membership at a swim club outside the city on the Gulf of Aqaba. There is a swimming pool with all the amenities - a perfect place for the Martins to spend happy hours in the sun.
Josh is running for joy - no, there isn't a shark in the sea.
As you can see, the Martins are one very happy family.
However, I do have one prayer request for them. Since they moved to Jordan several years ago, they have had almost nonstop sickness. One problem is bacterial illnesses with flu-like symptons, or even flu itself, that keeps them under the weather. Some of us are praying for them all to have many months of no sickness, so they can build up their immunities and stay well. Will you join us in our prayers?
My saga ends. I hope you've enjoyed at least parts of it. It's always a good feeling to be home, but we feel happy and blessed for the time spent in the Middle East.
Now I have to get down to business on a posting about your cousin/brother Eric and some awards he received a month or two ago. Don't forget:
I love you all! Grandma for Grandpa and me
