Extraordinary Blessings Glad to hear that all of you are 'flourishing' so well. The kids are beautiful, as usual, and you sound excited with your Mission. You and Marsha are doing an extraordinary job and your many blessings are a reflection of your love and devotion to the Lord, each other, and your family. Keep up the good work and, above all, stay warm!!! Lots of Love and prayers from Mom and Sandy, (aka Grandma Judy and the 'Silly Grandpa').
What pictures and hearfelt letter Jim, Marsha, Clara, Sam and Hannah! I love the pictures and it does look like you kids are really enjoying yourselves in your new home. Jim, I guess I jumped the gun in my email I just sent before checking the blog site again. I hinted toward a new updated blog to see how you all are doing and well it is obvious you all are doing well and yes sometimes we are too focused on our problems and need to just simple lift our eyes up to our Heavenly Father and know that he will take care of every detail of our lives.
Love you all much! JoAnn C. Keefe
Wow! Glad to see that you guys are doing well! We miss you a lot and are glad to see the photos. Keep sending them! See you soon.
Your Friends,
Rob, Carli, Andrew and Evan
God will never be outdone! Jim, Marsha and family!
What a glorious testimony to the love of God and the blessings that flow from putting Him first.
I am so glad to hear that things are going well and looking forward to those snow pictures.
How is Mr. Peahead?
Lots of love and prayers are sent your way!
Hugs,
Kate and Tom
God's blessings! Bless your hearts! I think that Mr Peahead needs to rethink his decision about your doctrine, how funny!!! I am so blessed with all that you all are doing, it surely brings excitement to us back at home. Looks like Clara, Sam, and Hannah are really enjoying there schools. Wow! I can't believe that Hannah is in preshool all ready and it looks like she is miss congeniality too!! Say hi to the ladies of your household too.
Love you all
JoAnn Keefe
Thanks for the update God bless your hearts abundantly! It is a great testimony of God's goodness and tender care. We keep Him first and ALL our needs are abundantly supplied. What a life! we cannot outgive God. Have a wonderful day enjoying God's goodness and sharing it with others. :-) Love, Joanne
Hi Kate! Thanks for you note, it is great to hear from you! We are really growing leaps and bounds here in Upstate New York. God has blessed us immensely ever since we made the decision to serve in this capacity for 6 months. We got our housing, jobs, and the kids in school all in just over a week's time. I kind of thought we might get sent to Texas, hah, but here we are in the "lake effect" snow belt. We are happy to be here and serving the Lord with gladness.
Love to all your family,
Jim, Marsha, Clara Rose, Sam, and Hannah Grace Perry
Thanks for your note. God bless Jeff.
Thanks for your note; we are thriving here in Baldwinsville and we are enjoying the Fall colors. It is truly an immense time of growth for our entire family.
Serving the Lord with gladness!
Jim
I agree with the last post - what a beautiful location to be sent to! Glad to read that you've moved into your home and landed a job, which means that you can have more time to focus on the fun part - sounding out with God's Word and teaching new people! Enjoy this wonderful time of growth and prosperity in moving God's Word!
October 18, 2008 Hi Jim! The new house looks great! Glad you guys are getting settled in. I was just wondering if you received the e-cards I sent for Sam and Hannah's birthdays. Please let me know....
Beautiful Country in Upstate New York confirmed! Bless your believing hearts! The pictures make me speechless, they are georgeous. The pictures of the water reminds me of God's undisturbed peace! I do miss the follage season in the Northeast it does bring back many great memories! You take great pictures by the way.
Love you all! Tell your two fellowship Way Disciples hi and God bless as well.

New York - New York Enjoy the empire state, for its the land of my birth. You'll get to see some for the fall colors, and find out the New York in not all concrete. We wish we were there to enjoy the falls and the finger lakes region of New York with you. So I'm going to have to enjoy the regions through all of you. Sam, remember GO YANKEES. Also don't forget to wear your mittens.

Wednesday 10/8 So glad that you arrived safe and sound. I hope that you survive the winter so close to Canada! Did you take all of your heavy jackets. Time to get studded tires for the van! We miss you guys and hope that you can stay warm.......... Keep sending us messages we love to hear from all of you........... Love, Papa and Doris..........
Grandma Francis wants to say something to you all!! So happy to hear from you being at Gunnison, because I remember the aspen trees and also I heard about you being at New Knoxville Ohio where you were married and I remember your wedding. You and Jim looked so handsome and beautiful together and your father and I were happy for you both. At the reception afterwards we all dance together. I danced with Jim and your dad who disliked dancing danced with you Marsha as he always saw you as his little sweetheart.
JoAnn has been so special to have just shown me the pictures of you all and she is so special and I appreciate everything she has done for me.
Love you all Jim, Marsha, Clara, Sam and Hannah!
Love Grandma.
Go Cornhuskers Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so thrill that you were able to travel through the great state of Nebraska no matter how boring it could have been. But I guess I am partial to it since I was born and raised there. Yes, it truly is harvest season there in Nebraska and what I miss most of all is the smell of the harvest in full swing. You can now understand why the man on the capitol is there "The sower and the seed". I love you all very much and am once again privileged to know that you enjoyed the great state of Nebraska and my birth place Kearney, Nebraska! I suppose the next time we hear from you you will be in Ohio and getting even more excited for the next 6 months ahead living, giving, and serving the greatness of God's word on the silver platter of your hearts!
Love in Christ your sis!
JoAnn C. Keefe
Wow sounds like fun!!! Boy what fun to be feeding the horses! It looks like Clara, Sam, and Hannah are having a lot of fun and it is obvious that don't mind living out of suit cases for awhile. Did Clara's cast come off yet? I bet she is happy to get it off too! Well keep on feeding the birds, I mean horses. Love you all and miss you more and more everyday! Your sis in Christ JoAnn Keefe
Love Traveling Vicariously Through All of You! We love all of your pictures. It looks like the whole family is having a wonderful and blessed time. If My eyes don't deceive me, it looks like Sam has caught Clara in height. Glad to see that Clara's arm has not slowed her down. What can we say about Hannah? She is adorable, as always. I'm glad you are getting some fishing in with your travels, Jim. Also, Marsha still looks svelte and beautiful, as well. Continue to have a safe and lovely trip! Love to all of you!
Great way to keep in contact! Loving the pictures and knowing how you are doing. Sounds like you are having an awesome time exploring God's blessing he has given us! Can't wait to see the next set. Miss you and you are God's best! I am not sure if your Mom has access to this Marsha so I will make sure she see this some how.
Love you all.
Found your messages. The system is now functioning perfectly; I found all your messages. We are all glad you are enjoying the blog. We are in Albuquerque, NM today and will be here until Thursday. Love you!
Thanks for the pictures. It looks like you are having a blast, even Clara with her "bagged arm." It brought back memories of me having my arm "bagged" so I wouldn't miss out on the fun.
Thanks for including us in your travels!
Love,
Joanne
How is it going? Haven't heard from you guys in a couple of days. Hope that all is well and you are enjoying the drive? As you probably know, Lynette and Dave arrived at your home and are settled in. Dave has been to the military place and applied to help out. He is really looking forward to doing it. All is well up here on the hill. Still no word from Verizon as we get closer to the 10/1 meeting date. Well, let us know where you are and how it is going. Love, Papa and Doris
