Wondering what is going on with the Wilson family?
What have we been doing?
Well, we have been busy people!
Phil and I went on our whirlwind trip to Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee in May. We were able to spend time with his brother Bob, his wife Deb and their children (we also were able to visit with our great niece's and nephew's) What a great time we had with them the time was much too short! We did make the best of our time! That Saturday we were able to go to Ohio and meet with the Pastor and wife of the Pleasant Grove Church of God. What a wonderful time we had sharing stories, and enjoying a wonderful lunch with them.
"Uncle Calvin" and "Auntie Carla" as we have dubbed them were such a joy to be around. Their love for the Lord is evident in all they do! They are a blessing to all who they meet I am sure! We were able to spend "quality" time in the car with Bob and Deb that Saturday because we had them join us for the day! We were able to share the ministry that God has called us to at Bob and Deb's church on Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day, I only wish we were able to have the kids with us. I have not been without my children on Mother's Day since Abby was born! what an odd feeling! We had a great day with Bob and Deb's family though! Their children and grandchildren were great stand-ins for us!
Monday morning came very early and we were out the door driving to Tennessee. It was nice driving and seeing a different part of the country. Flat corn fields, soy bean fields, then big cities, and beautiful mountains! We went from one extreme to the other while we were driving! It was beautiful seeing the different things out there. We arrived in Tennessee a little later than we were expecting to, thanks to the GPS that brought us a "little" out of our way! But we arrived safe and sound, so that is good. We were able to visit quickly with Dee and Ken who work with AMG in the home office. We met them when we went to Guatemala in December for our Bundles of Love trip. It was wonderful seeing them! We have seen Ken on skype a few times for meetings but real life is so much better! We had a wonderful time staying with Pete and Kim, also from the home office. They gave us the true feel of "mi casa es tu casa" (my house is your house).
While we were in Tennessee Phil had a few days of meetings. Learning more about the country God has called us to. We came home and hit the road running!
Abby had a prom that she attended at a local high school with a friend. She looked stunning, if I can say that as the mom! Betsy was winding down her softball season. Megan has been playing soccer, and keeps us running from practices to games, never a dull moment. She had a tournament over Memorial Day weekend and her team won for the U13 girls! We were so happy for them! Abby also attended her own school's prom that weekend. If you knew what my calendar looked like, you would wonder if I had learned how to have myself in 4 places at once! God saw us through our very busy weekend! Cabot and Anna are winding down their school year, with lots of field trips and special days at school. And last but not least Claire graduated from kindergarten! A bunch of changes for our family have taken place, and will continue to take place. We are so excited to see what God has in store for our family and look to each new day as a blessing from Him! We are still in need of support for the ministry and ask that if you feel led to partner with us through AMG to please ask us how if you would like. We are still looking at leaving in August, but our financial goal has not been met. Would you consider supporting us? It could be a one time gift, or monthly support. And as always prayer is always needed!
thank you for taking the time to read this very long overdue post of our happenings this past month! I thought you would like to know what the family has been up to!
Blessings!
