Yesterday was a great day! It was very busy but interesting. Sharon was managing the making of 100 jars of pizza sauce so I was doing all the cooking. I made tostadas with refried beans, guacamole, guatemalan salsa, and all the other little fixings that go on top. It was a challenge to get it all made correctly  and on time, but we sure enjoyed the results!Then for the evening we had a campfire over at our house and made mountain pies with the best homemade ice cream!!  We had a great time sitting around and eating and laughing and then there was a very loud active volleyball game in the courtyard.
The grandmother of some of our friends died this week. We went to the wake on Thursday eve. and it is a very sobering reminder that God has given us the freedom to choose His gift. We don't know that she chose this, though her grand children shared the plan of salvation with her. May we all be reminded that life is a gift from God to be used for His glory for His light to shine through us and draw others to Him.
