I'm Back! (Part V)

Danny gets ordained and graduates from college!
After taking a few days rest, we packed and prepared to leave for Lexington, KY.  Our oldest son Danny was getting ordained on Wednesday, May 9th and graduating from college on Friday, May 11th which was exactly a week after Andres graduated.
God has been so good to us in helping provide for our sons' education.  Danny kept a steady job which gave him the means to pay for his tuition these past four years. 
Danny was also involved in teen church where he preached to teenagers weekly.  He was a bus captain in a town called Winchester, KY.  He started out with 0 and had a high day of 106.
We do not take lightly the fact that Danny has chosen to live his life serving the Lord and telling others about the Lord! 
Once again, we give all the glory and praise to the Lord!  He has been the one who has seen our children through.  But yes, we are proud of our son!

MOTHER'S DAY!

This year was a very special Mother's Day!  Since we were still in Kentucky from the ordination and graduation I was able to spend it with all 4 of my children.  The last time we were together on this day was 6 years ago.  We went to church that day and after Danny finished his bus route which David & Andres also went, we went out to eat.  My children gave me an ipad cover with their picture on it and Gabriella gave me a coffee mug with her picture on it that says I love grandma! :)
It was a wonderful day spent with my family!  I hope you had a wonderful day as well! :)






Well, time is now coming to an end.  We had a really nice time on our trip!  A lot of the time was just sitting around laughing, enjoying Gabriella and letting the boys be with their friends from college and taking pictures and videos.  We also got to meet and get to know Danny's girlfriend Sarah's family.

  1. Congratulations on another graduation! I am constantly amazed at the way your children are serving the Lord with their lives. You are such an inspiration to me, and I hope that all four of mine serve the Lord one day too!
