Auntie Marlene

  Auntie Marlene came to stay with us for a few days and we sure enjoyed our time with her.  She is currently on a home visit from the Philippines where she lives and teaches the bible.  She comes home every five years.  When she arrived home last summer she met our boys for the first time as well as a host of other great nieces and nephews.  She returns to the Philippines again this summer and we hope to go see her there in 2012 or 2013.  When she returns here again, Tyler will be 9, Boyd will be 7, and Monte 4.  I wonder where we'll be?  She sees so many changes with every return trip.  But to us, she is always Auntie Marlene, strong and full of life, and full of zeal for the gospel.  Thank you for spending time with us and for all you do, Auntie Marlene!
