Sad farewell...


This family has been such an incredible blessing to us and to our church! They left on Monday for outside, and you have never seen such a tearful church service in all your days! We had a great time of prayer over them before they left, and I don't think there was a dry eye...but Mark did a fantastic job of focusing us all back on God and what He was going to do in and through them as they go and for us as they leave.
Andrew has been having a really difficult time with all of it, as he and Caitlyn are so close. He has sobbed more than once in the past week as he knew they were preparing to leave, and refused to say good-bye. I don't know which is harder, me losing my friend, Mark losing his, or Andrew losing his-we're all a bundle of sadness over it. It's the first time Andrew has been through losing a friend like this, and it's been heartbreaking. But God has been doing an amazing work in their lives, and He won't stop just because they're leaving here! :)

Yes, it was a very sad time, we have never felt so loved by a group of people in our lives. What is so cool is that we still feel that love here in Colarado. We miss everyone soooo much. We had a God trip down here, and we can't wait for Andrew to come live with us. I know Mark and Wendy will miss him, but they will just have to come visit. We are praying for everyone, and love you all.

Li, Floyd and Caitlyn
