This was the third time we had seen her sit up on her own, all in the last couple of hours. You can tell she it pretty proud of herself.

Addy was wooed once again this week by another WM Alumni's son. This time it was Tiffany Staley (formerly Tiffany Stopper, WM '97) with her mother and three adorable children, Emma Grace, Luke and Nate, who is about 10 days older than Addy. (Tiff's husband Jimmy was in Mexico on a SM missions trip.) Needless to say, Nate had goo goo eyes all dinner for Addy and we thoroughly approved. For those who know Tiffany and Jimmy, they are doing great down in their new house down in Cary, NC. Jimmy is still working as a Youth Pastor and Tiffany not only holds down the fort at home, but is an Power Seller on ebay as well. Check out NCTiffer on ebay here.
"Well, we are here to report that the light of God’s Church has not gone out in Europe and saw that first hand during our week in Brussels.
We were privileged to serve alongside our Chapel Missionaries, Carlton and Shannon Deal, who are pastoring a church that is trying to make Christ relevant again to a city that has dismissed him as irrelevant and obsolete.
And it is fitting that we are focusing on love this morning, because their strategy to reach Europe is to demonstrate the Love of Christ through acts of service.
Our team participated in a week long project called Serve the City that coordinated 300 volunteers with 30 ministry locations and sent teams out to serve the community in the name of Christ. We taught young Muslim girls how to play basketball, painted young children’s faces at day camp, and even gave a manicure in a subway station to a homeless woman.
Last summer Serve the City in Brussels made such an impact in the community that this year Pastors in 5 other cities brought the vision to their churches and launched similar weeks of service. In fact today as we worship here, Serve the City Dublin has just begun.
We hope you will continue to keep our brothers and sisters in Europe in your prayers when you ask God to demonstrate his love to the world through His people."
Trafalgar Square and a Christian Outreach Concert that was going on.
Big Ben and Parliament
While we were there, The Well had their weekly meeting on Sunday in St. Catherine's Cathedral downtown and served free dinner to all who were in the area. That made for some interesting church-goers.
Kristyn and I landed last night after a week long missions trip to Brussels, Belgium with 14 other Chapel members. Once we get over the jet lag and spend some quality time with Addy who has been here with Grandma McKendrick all week, we will put up some pictures and stories. Sorry for the week without any postings. (We didn't want to announce our being out of the country online for security reasons). Thanks for checking in. -Jon
