Hey family,

Jasper wants to say a big thank you for all the blogs, e-cards and birthday blessings. She had a lot of fun at her party and so did everyone else.

We got the girls' ears pierced for their birthdays. There was a few tears shed but after all was done they are quite proud of their new jewelery. Jessi's ears were so thick and dense that the earing bent in her ear and the lady had to take it out and straighten it with some sort of pliers. She had pain but quickly recovered. Jasper was more ticked off and said to the lady after the first one"You don't do that!" with a very disgusted look on her face. Funny but understandable!
Will try to get a better picture of Jasper for you to see her's as well. Lidi is happy that people are now calling Jessi a pretty little girl and not a cute little boy!


Kathy got her visa on Monday so she is relieved and excited. She was one of my bridesmaids and has been a great support for me for many years even though she isn't a christian. She has been searching for a long time and is wanting more for her life. Her biggest block has been the hook to New Age which is so out there in society, T.V. etc and is quite luring. Just pray that we can continue to be a witness to her and that she will see clearly that Jesus is the true saviour.

Have a great day!
Shannon
