Hannah’s Baptism

Sunday, September 30 –

The Tidwells and Pringles came down to Matador today to church. It was the first day of our Fall Gospel Meeting. After lunch we came back to the ranch. Hannah was ready to be baptized and wanted her daddy to baptize her in one of our stock tanks. It was a great thing to witness.

Blast from the Past

Saturday, November 11 –

Nathan’s best friend from high school, Steve Johnson, and his son, Luke, stopped by for a visit today. He and Nathan swapped stories about their high school days and caught up on the latest family news. Most of the stories were well-loved re-tellings, but there were a few new ones that we hadn’t already heard.

This is the kids having a blast in the river on Sunday afternoon when the Tidwells and Renkens came for a visit. The weather was perfect and the recent rains put some water in the Pease river on the northwestern border of the ranch.

The Renkens are from Germany. Rudy came to study at the Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock. We’re so glad that we’ve gotten to know them.
