Tony and Laura Lewry

Yes I know I spelled it wrong, but we had a great day anyway!! I was so tired after the mountain of baking that at 11pm the night before the big day, spelling was beyond me! (: Tess is 2! We had a lovely day in our newly grassed garden playing and eating lots of cake. We are so blessed to have friends here that we can call family. Tess is growing into a fun,animal loving, strong, chatterbox. Her favorite food is any kind of fruit, yogurt, porridge and pancakes!  She has a good imagination and likes to make tea and coffee for mum and dad, yesterday she had a fox round for tea and she is very good at floating (swimming!). She still loves books and you can often hear her recounting Monkey Puzzle "come come come! It's time I took you home to mum!" or the Gruffalo.. "silly old fox.. don't you know?!" she calls her nappies "whackers" and elephants "eletrunks". We are so blessed.

It was a Thursday afternoon. Tony had come home from work a few minutes early so was sat writing emails and I was sat on the floor entertaining Tess or pulling bits of fluff from her mouth, I can’t remember. The loud thumping on the door indicated that Beto was in need of some attention. He was in the middle of a Youth Camp type thing here on the base, so we hadn’t been seeing him as regularly that week.  He came in and threw himself on the Sofa..so sprawled out that his feet almost touch the table on the other side of our small apartment. We chat for a while and we have a Coke together. Tess was playing with the syringes that I use to give her medicine in and Beto asked me why she had to take medicine. I explained her problem with reflux and maybe an allergy that we are getting tests done for.  He was quiet for a minute and then asked if he could pray for her. I told him that would be great.  He got down on the floor and prayed for her. It’s such a tough process wit...
