A New Friend

Caleb & Andrew driving the boat

I have found in recent years that I love meeting new people.  Especially new people that myself or my family seem to connect with instantly.  That is exactly what I have found in my new friend Kendra.  She is amazing!  Kendra is one of those people whom you meet and you just want to know more about.  Not only does she have incredible stories to tell about all of the great places that she has been, but she also loves Christ with her whole being and it shows!  What a blessing it was that when our trip to the Allagash was canceled we were still able to meet her in person and spend some time with our great sister.

Here she is convincing Eli to swim in the middle of the lake!

As most of our friends are subject to; Kendra was introduced to our home by 4 very excited boys.  They eagerly showed her their room, toys, and creations.  Kendra has a wonderful spirit and was incredibly gracious with the boys' enthusiasm.  Welcoming our new friend with a fire and a day out on my parent's boat was an adventure for all involved.  We cooked with our new pie iron, stayed up late talking, and even went tubing with the boys.  Needless to say, they had a blast, and I did too. Thank you Kendra for driving all the way up to Maine to meet us; we are so thankful for you and your friendship.

Kendra was such a great sport.  She even went on the tube with Andrew!

Kendra is in Africa this month working with some missionaries.  Please pray for her safety and that she will be a blessing to everyone she meets!

Elijah & Andrew loved tubing. Josiah, however, was not too keen on the adventure.
