h grade. . . Thank You, Jesus! Here she is holding her diplima from A Beka Academy in Pensacola. When we sent off for transcripts, they sent back her grades . . . all the way through kindergarten! I cried . . . was so thankful to be able to accomplish this with her. Some days, I wasn't sure, but God was good to us, and helped all the way. We praise the Lord for our girls - they are both really special, and have been such a tremendous blessing in our lives.After a year of working as a teacher's aid/assistant at the AmericanInternational School in Accra, Melinda is off to Bible college in Indianapolis, Indiana - IBC. We appreciate your prayers for her, as God leads in a new area of her life.
The prissy young lady below is our baby - Candra. She is almost finished 11th grade (about a week and a half remains) and she will begin 12th grade in June. Plans to finish that off in six months, and be home with Melinda in Bible school by January. As you can see, she loves clothes . . . especially when she designs them herself . . . like this dress she is wearing in the picture. She designed it for Melinda's "Think Pink" 19th birthday this year.
God is good, and has blessed my girls. . . as He blessed us with both of them. It will be difficult to come back to Ghana and leave them in the US. . . but He is faithful, and will keep them both in the hollow of His hands. I know He will have to keep me and their Dad too . . . as we are more wimpy about their departure than they are - ha!
Yep. . . these are MY GIRLS. . . REALLY!

Ok, now wait just a minute. Did you say Candra is leaving in January?!?!?! No wonder Olivia is so distraught. We love you guys so much! Let's see, we managed to keep Melinda around an extra year...think, think, think. Laurie for this motley crew
God will be with you all! It will not be all easy but some days will be better than others. What a joy to know that we have placed our kids in the Master's hands and He loves them even more than we do. Wow, that is a whole lot of love.
