Busy months! Fall is my favorite season. We are full into youth group, Bible studies, YoungLife, and more. It's official.... we are leading the Royal Servants Costa Rica team next summer. Baby Powell #2 is growing healthy and should arrive in about 10 weeks. I can't wait to hold this sweet baby.
We lost my grandma Eugenia "Jean" Coston Bryan this month. She was a wonderful grandmother. She got me interested in cooking and showed me how to be hospitable. She was a wife of 66 years, a mother of 4, mother-in-law of 4, grandmother to 8, and great grandmother to 4+. She was a champion swimmer, wonderful seamstress, dedicated volunteer and a great cook. We will miss her.
