Megan's First Steps

Last Sunday, baby Megan took her first steps. She has been quite stubborn about walking, preferring to scoot on bottom everywhere she goes. A young lady at LBC named Crystal has been determined to help her learn to walk and sure enough, she took her first steps in the nursery last Sunday! Finally, our baby girl will be walking soon. Thanks Crystal!

Update: Megan took 21 steps in a row for daddy today! She can officially walk!!

Happy 8th Birthday, Micah!

Today our baby boy turned 8! How the years have flown by! In celebration of his birhday, Micah was able to invite three of his friends for a party. He chose to invite Nathan and Ryan from school, as well as Nicolas from church. They were also joined by Micah's cousin and neighbor, Wyatt. The boys had a great time together! They played in the treehouse, had a nerf gun fight, and caught toads by the pond. Boys will be boys!

Trip to Aunt Di's Pumpkin Patch

Today, Lis and the kids went to Aunt Di's pumpkin patch. They were joined by Grandma Green and their cousins, Hayley and Riley Green. Each child picked out a huge pumpkin to take home. Then, the boys got to dig up some potatoes and some humongous sweet potatoes (see pic). We had a great time. Thanks Aunt Di and Uncle Paul!

Revival Wrapup

What a wonderful week of Revival Meetings. God was defenitely doing a deep work in all of our hearts. This week, the Lord answered many specific prayers. There was a total of 6 saved this week. Two on Sunday and four on Thursday night (Friend night). What a thrill it was to host 18 visitors on Friend night! We were also encouraged by last Sunday's attendance of 147! Perhaps the greatest blessing was just hearing the simple revival truths of the Bible proclaimed. The members of LBC responded with open and hungry hearts and God is certainly doing a reviving work in many hearts. Thank you for your prayers for us this week! May we continue to yield to the Holy Spirit and depend on the victory of Christ for every need. To God be the Glory!

Fun with the Millers

On Friday of our week of Revival Meetings with Chris Miller, the Flanders and Miller families took the afternoon off for some family fun. The ladies went to Frankenmuth while the men and boys organized an all out nerf gun assault using the educational wing of Landmark Baptist Church. Andrew and Micah were skilled gunsmen on their teams while Caleb took the role of supplyer, carrying around a box of nerf bullets for anyone in need. Luke served as Daddy's shadow while also drawing the fire of the other team when daddy sent him to scope out a questionable area. WE HAD A BLAST! Thank you to the Miller boys for sharing their guns with us. After picking up all of the bullets, we all went for a tour of Bronners in Frankenmuth. We have grown to greatly appreciate the Miller family and look forward to many more memories together.
