We have friends from our home church with us this week- a great group of 8, including our pastor, and we are having a fantastic time...they are doing two major projects in our home during the mornings and helping us with PFK in the afternoons...it has been great having them here.
The entire living room is filled with the contents of the girls' room as it was painted yesterday...and my normal notebook is buried...so I am not sure the numbers this week...but the still sure thing is that even amidst the hustle and bustle of adding 8 people into our daily lives, I'm still counting God's good blessings...they are never-ending...

Hello, McClains! I enjoy getting to read your updates, and I'm thinking about you a lot this week as I remember that I was in Costa Rica this time last year! Hope you're having an excellent week, and I'm definitely praying for everyone. Wishing I was there with you, David Adams :)
Hey David! WE MISS YOU TOO!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for thinking of us and for your prayers! We wish you were here too! Much love, the McClain's :)
I'm visiting today from Ann's Multitudes on Mondays (even though it's Thursday)! So glad I stopped by and to learn a little of the work you are doing. Your thank you list is so precious, and I thank you for that! It was a blessing to have been here!
Thank you Cora, for stopping by! Praise the Lord you were blessed by the blessings He has given me!
