Sam matched my best time in the 40 yard dash this past May by running it in 4.7 seconds. As a result, I had to follow through on my promise to buy him a steak dinner.

Our son Samuel achieved numerous awards
and honors this past year at Pearland Junior High West. These included: the all “A” Honor Roll, the Wildcatter Award in reading and in Spanish,
the President’s Academic Award, and the most
prestigious of all “The Wildcatter of the Year”. He continues to excel in athletics. This past fall he played on the Freshman Maroon Team (A-Team) as a full-back on offense and as a linebacker on defense. He was also on Special Teams. Best of all, we had the privilege of hearing him preach his first sermon at our church!

It is our hope and prayer that you
and your family will experience the true meaning of Christmas this year.

It has become a family tradition for us to travel to Sonja’s brother’s house in Waco to celebrate
Thanksgiving with her family. This is a picture

Highlights for Our Family in the Year 2014

This year we celebrated our fifth anniversary as a church at Providential Baptist. We also raised enough money to purchase a new fifteen passenger van. Our goal was to have a newer van before all of the summer camps. We exceeded our goal and were able to buy a 2013 Chevrolet van that had less than 2,500 miles on it. We had the privilege again this year of taking a lot of youth and children to camp. We participated in three camps during the summer and a Missions Mania camp in November. Some of our older youth attended the Worship University camp in Kerrville, and we took another group to the Texas Baptist Encampment in Palacios. I am also proud to say that our group at Missions Mania won “The Mighty Men of Texas Award” a second year in a row! Finally, I want to mention that we had more people attend our Fall Festival this year than we have ever had before.
We were blessed with a great vacation this past summer. A family in our church allowed us to use
their time share; and so, we were able to stay in
a beautiful condominium in the Ozark Mountains
of Branson, Missouri: we dined at the Hard Luck Café; we rode a jet ski on Table Rock Lake; we went to Silver Dollar City; our kids rode go carts, and we all saw some great shows, etcetera. This is a picture of Samuel, Sophia and Stephen outside of the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Odditorium
in Branson.

This past year I spent a lot of time working on my
1954 Chevy truck. It took me a while to get it back into top notch mechanical condition, but I finally made it. This time I decided to do all of the body work and the paint job myself, and I think it turned
out nice enough to turn some heads.

Sophia turned seventeen in August and is a Senior at Pearland High School. She has continued to impress us with her academic achievements. For the third year in a row, she was invited to attend the all “A” Banquet. She is also a member of the National Honor Society. She has a great voice and continues to enjoy being a part of the prestigious Chamber Choir. This year she was also selected
to be a part of the First Edition Ensemble. Last spring, she went to state in the Solo and Ensemble
competition and performed in the All Region Women’s Choir in November. This is a picture of Sophia and Santa where she now works at Pitch Putt and Play here in Pearland.

Our son Stephen graduated from Pearland High School this past year. During his Senior
year, he worked with the Railcat Network at Turner High School. He is now working part-time as a waiter at the Pappadeaux Seafood
Restaurant and is a full-time student at San Jacinto College. He is a gifted piano and guitar player. It takes three years of superior ratings
on one’s performances to earn a Gold Cup. After
twelve years of piano lessons, he achieved his fourth Gold Cup.

Our good friends Gerald and Carolyn Thurman
came down to attend Stephen’s graduation. The next day, we all went to Galveston. This picture
was taken inside of the garage at the famous Moody
Mansion.
