Dinner with friends

Saturday night we were blessed to have the Shiflet's over for dinner. It was our opportunity to meet Andrew, their adopted son. Six months ago, their family went to Russia to pick up Kathlena and Andrew ages 3 and 5. I met Kathlena at a baby shower for a mutual friend. The have two other children Emily 14 and J. Michael age 10. In 2006, we attended a home group Bible study at their house and received mentoring that has continued even until now. They are the best example I've met of a godly marriage and parenting. They are also lots of fun!! They really encouraged us to continue growing in the Lord and enjoy all the blessings He has given us. David and Albert swapped backyard deer hunting stories for our amusement. We had a great time. Please pray for Andrew and Kathlena as they have eye problems similar to what Ethan went through. We even share the same eye doctor!
