Baby Mia is born!






We are so excited to announce the birth of another granddaughter. Mia Elizabeth Weinland was born Tuesday morning, November 18th at 5:50 am. She was 7 lbs, 6 ozs and 20.5 in long. Mom and Dad and baby are doing well and are settling into their new home. I (Peggy)was so privileged to be there at her birth. What an incredible miracle it is, each new life that God gives.

We are loving spending time getting to know her as well as our new 5 yr. old granddaughter Hannah. It has been a real joy to spend time with her at the park and playing games, singing and talking. Hannah is infatuated with her new cousin too and is anxiously waiting for the arrival of her new sister, Amelia, from Guatemala due home by Christmas, hopefully.

The rest of the family, Michael, Nisha, Jackson and Griffin are heading out here to CO for Thanksgiving and we are excited to all be together again.

What incredible blessings!! How great is our God!

Home for MisssionsFest

How exciting it was for us to be home in Wheaton for Missionsfest (Nov 2-8th)at Wheaton Bible Church. Once a year, the church makes global missions and missionaries their main focus for the whole week. We were only able to there for the last half of the week but what an encouraging time for us. The church did an incredible job of providing opportunities for us to be refreshed and challenged and networked with others who can partner with us in ministry. We feel so privileged to be sent from this church to reach others with the gospel. For more info see wheatonbible.org

Lunch with Mehlbergs


If life was always so easy!

We had an incredible day Sunday spending time with Bob and Jeanne Mehlberg, a couple from our home church. It was such a taste of home and an excuse to spend the day taking a long Sunday drive and eating lunch by the sea. The weather was marvelous and so was the company and the view!

If you are ever in Athens, don't hesitate to give us a ring. We would love the company.
