Celebrating Life

One of the things I love about living in community with other believers is getting the chance to celebrate major milestones in life. Last week we got the chance to celebrate two new little ones that have joined our community and BAIS family. We had a baby shower for Noah Jacob Ransom and Larasati Rimbun Trisna Simanjuntak. Noah is the third son of Josh and Abigail. They came to Indonesia in January and Josh teaches art at the school. Larasati is the first child for Hendri and Indri, two of our Indonesia staff. Hendri works in the office with immigration and government paperwork and Indri is one of our teacher's aids.

The family of God is a beautiful thing. A messy thing when we get intertwined in each others lives and sometimes get on each other's nerves. But it is a beautiful thing none-the-less. I'm always reminded of how cool it is that we have a community behind us when we get the chance to celebrate life and the big milestones that occur along the way.

Isn't she cute!?!

I'm not sure she likes me...

Praying for these two moms, their families, and their new babies.
