So, sorry it's been a while, we've been busy. Here's another video of all the stuff we've been doing. Enjoy!

So, we bought a house. I got moved up to full time at the Calaveras Enterprise, and Jamison's step-dad lent us the money. They were asking $87,000, but we offered them $70,000 and they took that without even countering. Escrow closes on March 27th and we are super excited!! Here's a video walkthough, so you can see what we're getting ourselves into. We'd really like to hear what is going on in your lives, so let us know! joylovessonshine@gmail.com

Hello! We are doing well and we hope you all are as well. Jamison and I are enjoying being back in San Andreas. We are living with my parents. I got a job doing office work at our local newspaper. Jamison is still looking for a job, but he is enjoying the break. Last Sunday, we were able to give a presentation about our trip at San Andreas Community Covenant Church, where we both grew up. If you are interested, here is a video of our talk:



Thank you all for your support, we love you all so much!

Hello everyone! We have safely made it back to the good old U. S. of A. It is nice to be home! Our last couple of weeks in Nigeria were busy but very good. The Thanksgiving service was fantastic! Everyone was dancing and singing as they brought their gifts up. Afterwards, everyone wanted pictures with the white people, so we stood and smiled for what seemed like forever! Here’s a picture of us all dressed up in our Nigerian clothes with a bunch of our church members. It was difficult to leave all of our wonderful friends behind! Before we left, Jamison and I were able to give them some small gifts, everyone was so happy! We were especially glad to be able to give some gifts to our Fulani friends. Jamison and I are sponsoring one of the little girls here through International Childcare Ministries, so we were able to give her and her family a special gift of clothes and school supplies. Here is a picture of us with our sponsored child, Aisha. My mom is also sponsoring a child from our school, so we gave him a little gift too. There are many children here needing sponsorship, I wish we could do more to help them. If you would like to sponsor one, visit the International Childcare Ministries website at:http://www.childcareministries.org/sponsor/. We are so thankful for all you have done for us while we were gone. It has been wonderful experience to be able to be in Nigeria and to work for God for the past five months. We could not have done what we were able to do without your support. We love you so much!
