Mark's 9th Birthday

Mark turned 9 on Sunday, Oct. 1. Thanks to all who sent birthday wishes! He really did have a great birthday. He was able to spend the weekend with his best friend while Brad and I were away at a conference and then when we got back home Sunday night, we had a little celebration with cupcakes and presents.
Mark is such a neat kid. Can't wait for those of you who live in the States to have a chance to know him better next year. We praise God for his work in Mark's life this past year because this summer Mark accepted Christ as his Saviour and Lord. Please pray for Mark. Pray that this coming year will be a special year for him. Pray that he will grow in his understanding of what it means to be a Christian. Pray that he will grow in every way - spiritually, physically, academically, and emotionally. Pray that he will just enjoy life and enjoy being a kid. Pray for wisdom for us in parenting Mark. He is a precious gift to us from God and we're so thankful for him.
