Micah's Birthday Luch

Isn't it the choice of all kids? I know that it was and probably would still be my choice, if given the choice. Today for Micah's Birthday, he wanted McDonald's, specifically a cheese burger happy meal, then he went to get a Build-a-Bear, well he got two bears and gave one of them to Silas.

We'll see later what his mother has in mind for dinner. Micah is growing up so fast, it doesn't seem that long ago that he was born. Happy Birthday son!

Birthday Morning Breakfast

Happy Birthday Micah! Today is Micah's 5th Birthday. He wanted fresh blueberry muffins for breakfast this morning. They are his all time favorite breakfast. Sandra awoke nice and early to have them prepared for him when he woke up. For lunch he wants McDonald's, probably the choice of any kid. We'll post more pictures of his day soon...Please, leave Micah a Happy Birthday Greeting!

Bye Bye California!

We are of and on our way back to England, please pray for us as we look unto the Lord for direction in 2009, thanks to all our friends and family that blessed us with so much while we were in America, we love you all so so much.

Derek and Allison Forbes Wedding

This past weekend Derek and Allison took a vow of marriage, it was an absolute wonderful wedding, one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been too, perhaps one thing that made it so beautiful is that I have been able to see the Lord at work in Derek's life for many years, I have had the privilege to walk with him through difficult times and now I see all that the Lord has done in him, through him and for Him, PRAISE THE KING!

Sandra and I are both so blessed for the both of you, we love you guys so much and can't wait to see all that the Lord has in store for you guys. I pray that in the future we will in some way be able to serve the Lord together, keep charging for Jesus and fall more in love with Him daily.

Charis Dedication at CC Whittier

Last weekend before I taught we were able to dedicate Charis with Pastor Alvin from Calvary Chapel Whittier. It was really a great opportunity in Whittier. Thanks to all of you in Whittier we love you all very much!

Damian and Sandra Vow Renewal

Last week at Calvary Chapel's Missions Conference Sandra and I had the opportunity to renew our vows together with all our friends. It was something that we wanted to do at our 7 year anniversary, but since it was only our family here in England we decided to wait until everybody would be together for the Missions Conference.

It was great to have all our friends there, there were some friends and family that were missing, but we know that we were all together spiritually. Vanessa surprised us with a cake, and other refreshments. Thank you Vanessa for making our day even more special than it already was. Also thank you all that made special time to come and be with us, we love you all very much.

Happy New Years! 2009

Downtown San Diego at night

Well, we finally made it back to the states. We arrived back in San Diego on Tuesday Night. The weather has been amazing, we played and walked around outside in t-shirts today, it was the first time that I can remember doing that in a long time. We are well, looking forward to our time with friends and family. Please pray for our safety and health as there are many things for us to do over the next 10 days.
