Isn't Life Beautiful?

I've been sick since Thursday, and am at the tail end of this nasty cold. It's really hard to be sick on project, because there is so much to do all of the time. We had our staff vs. student softball game Saturday night, which I of course attended but didn't plan to play in. When I saw my name on the batting roster it was hard to resist going up for just a few swings. I struck out :) We beat the students by a ton, which Ben was excited about because he planned the event and had worked hard to make sure the staff would have the victory. That's not even why I'm writing though. I'm writing because on Monday I received a sweet package in the mail. Ben's church he grew up in had a women's supper on Father's Day, and instead of having a speaker they gathered information about their women missionaries and learned about them...and made cards for them! Take a look: They are all so beautiful and unique-they just brightened my day right when I needed to be cheered up! It was such a great idea for a women's conference-and the most meaningful part is that they were all praying for me as I gave my talk at our conference the very next day. Thanks CLCBC ladies!
