Just wanted to share some pictures of my new nephew Mason Scott Gross for those of you who don’t have facebook! I am very excited and happy for Joel and Monica. They are going to be great parents. Monica is one of the sweetest girls I know. She’s going to be a great mom! And Mason is precious, too!

This post is for my family at Way of the Cross Bapstist Church–the church I grew up in. I just want to let you all know how grateful I am that God brought my family there and that I got to grow up under sound preaching there.
Some of you have asked me why Robert and I haven’t sent letters out to everyone at WOTC. I just want to let you guys know that we didn’t send any because I didn’t want anyone to feel like I was taking advantage of your generosity. You all were so faithful to support me financially while I was in college all the way up until my six months of training at the Our Generation Training Center was finished. So, all in all, WOTC supported me financially from September of 1998 up until May of 2007. Plus, many individuals at the church also supported me! I would never want to take advantage of your graciousness and patience as I have tried to follow and serve the Lord. At times, I almost feel like I should prove myself to you again before I could ever even think of asking for support like that again! But, really, thank you for all the love and support you gave me then and also for the same love and support you give me now.
Some of you have asked me to send you a letter, which I will very gratefully do. If there are others of you who do want a letter, please let me know. Again, please know how much I value the teaching, love, kindness and generosity that you all have given to me while growing up. May the Lord bless you with many more people who desire to serve Him because of your faithfulness!

I became an aunt yesterday. Robert’s sister Monica gave birth to their first child–Mason. He weighed in at 8.5 pounds and is 21.5 inches long. Mommy and Mason are both doing well. Robert and I will get to meet him June 16th. I can’t wait!
