Our Little Buddy

Whenever I’m working, Jopeth is right there beside me, ready to help!

The other day Mercy was having trouble playing in her cowgirl gear so set it on the porch and ran off. When I stepped back out, I saw the cutest, little cowboy! Of course every cowboy needs to round up a few criminals.

Any time we’re out, Jopeth is there with us. He is frequently on the porch when I’m cooking and will stop what he’s doing and say, “I smell something!”

Lydia especially takes great pleasure in teasing him and will reply with things like,

“Is it Milo?”

“Nope!” Jopeth.

“Is it…” and she’ll fill in the blanks with anything or anyone nearby.

He’ll loudly respond with, “NOPE!!! It’s Mama cooking!”

It’s the cutest and always makes us smile. Pray for little Jopeth that he will trust the Lord and grow to serve the Lord.

The weekend was a little less busy as the Phokera Bible study on Sunday was canceled. I enjoyed the rest, but was disappointed as I always look forward to seeing Aliza. She and her husband, James, have already said that they will be joining our church once it’s formed. Also, the lady I gave the Bible to was waiting with her husband to come. I met her husband Monday though and he thanked me for the New Testament, saying that it was already making a difference in their family. I am excited to see God work in their lives! Thank you so much for your prayers for these ladies and their families!
