Just because we are distanced from our family by being away serving a mission, doesn't mean life won't continue to go on. Our only married daughter, Stephanie, gave birth Friday morning to a 7 lb. 13 oz. baby girl who they will name Mckinley. Mother, father, and baby are all doing well and isn't she a cutie? She brings to a total three granddaughters among our now eleven grandchildren. We don't feel any older but the numbers are revealing.
McKinley is actually a miracle baby---the results of invitro vertilzation---which only appeared to finally be successful just as we were beginning our mission to Hong Kong. Her parents feel this was a blessing directed to them because of our willingness to serve. The Lord blesses not only the missionaries, but those who they have temporarily left behind as well.
Hooray for a safe and healthy baby! We will do our best to be your hands and help Steph out!
