Remember this?

Caitlin has become quite the email girl. I think she checks her mom & dad's emails now. I sent all of my kids an email telling them that Amanda (our adopted Frank Phillips student from The Congo) would be spending Thanksgiving with us. Matt & Lisa were going to be spending Thanksgiving with Lisa's parents in Amarillo. Well...Caitlin got that email and was insistent that they needed to come to Borger so she could meet Amanda. She was enthralled. She & Alexis immediately fell in love with Amanda. In fact, they had made some money playing some game with their Uncle Bryan and they used that money to take Amanda shopping----for a Webkinz! ha! I think Amanda did get to choose the Webkinz she wanted---which was a spider monkey. She giggled everytime she looked at it that evening and would say, "Caitlin & Alexis!"
Remember that I told you that Caitlin left her Bible for Amanda to read? Well, after Caitlin got home, I think she sent Amanda 5 emails that first night---asking her if she'd gotten online with her Webkinz---and if she'd read her Bible. It did cause Amanda (who grew up in the Catholic Church) to ask us if we had read the entire Bible. We told her we had. She said it was very difficult for her to understand. So apparently, she'd cracked it open to please Caitlin.
Last night, we took Amanda to our Adopt-A-Student Christmas party at our church. During the evening, Jason (our youth minister) shared the gospel and gave the students a chance to respond. And respond they did! About 12 of them...openly! Amanda was among them. She prayed to receive Christ into her heart. WOW! We were so excited. But I was most excited to call Caitlin and tell her that Amanda had made the decision to follow Jesus. She was thrilled! I told her how proud I was of her for sharing Jesus with Amanda. Is that not awesome?
And a little child shall lead them.
