On November 28, there was a party helping Missionary Mary Ballenger celebrate her 70th birthday. Mary is a Missionary to Africa and is the Academic Dean at the West Africa Advanced School of Theology (WAAST).  It was a very nice time giving honor to this fine servant of God who has dedicated most of her life in His service.  Click HERE for more information on WAAST.  We love you Mary!

Ana, being our favorite cookie cook, mixed up a couple batches of spritz cookies for us.  Yes, we know that Christmas time is the time for spritz cookies; but we were not about to complain.  Hmmm good!  Click on a picture to see a larger view.  Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the finished product… They did not stick around long enough!
