Life is Happening

It's been an eventful few weeks in a couple different ways so I figured I'd share some of the highlights in pictures and a link....

While this announcement is a bit late, it is still very exciting--Kerry's baby arrived! Adisen
Ellen Fankhauser was born December 29 at 12:57 p.m. She weighs 6lbs. 13oz. and is 20 inches long. Congrats to Bob and Kerry!

The next exciting event is that Sarah preached for the first time. One of my favorite things in the world is watching people operate in their gifts and passions. As Sarah preaching I knew that this was happening. She did an amazing job and I can't wait to watch as she further develops her gift.

Above: Sarah's name was on the sign!

Another exciting time was exploring our cite for the upcoming San Marino junior high mission trip. We are going through an organization called the Center for Student Missions (CSM). In short, we will be spending 4 days living, serving, and experiencing all different parts of the city of Los Angeles--from Beverly Hills to Skid Row. We took a driving tour of LA and I admit that I have never seen anything like it. Please be praying for our trip--particularly that more youth sign up.

And the last event isn't as positive as the last three... I love condiments more than your average person--mayo, ranch dressing, ketchup, soy sauce, curry sauce, you name it. I can't eat bland food. But my love of condiments got me in trouble this week. I left a homemade wrap with creamy Caesar dressing out of a refrigerator for hours. You guessed it, exactly 6 hours later I had food poisoning. It was a mild case, just a half day or so of being sick, but still no fun. Thankfully I'm feeling much better now. I've learned a big lesson: always refrigerate.
Despite my mishap, I still love condiments and I think my refrigerator is a testament to that:

I was told by a few members of First Pres how well Sarah did!

Also, the youth group I help at here did a mission trip with CSM in Philly. I did not go, but heard that it was a very transformative trip!
