Park Meeting in the Bronx

Bro Lowery playing with Havilah

Ian loves to snuggle with a blanket up by his face!

After the Gospel art, the kids are invited to come talk with one of the workers if they want to learn more about salvation. I watched Hava walk over with the girls and put a hand on one of the girls back and guide her over to one of the nyset girls. I don't really think she knew what was going on, but she was trying to help. :)

Many of the moms stayed afterwards to talk with us!

Notice in the far right corner of the pic, even some of the elderly people in the park came to listen!

Grandma Lowery (yes I'm teaching my son to wear white at a young age!) :)

Daniel "tries" to keep the guys in line...they are a little crazy!

Hava and Audrey...Hava loves hanging out with the college students. Although, we're not sure who's rubbing off on who? :)

A Blessing

We have been talking about getting a double stroller for awhile, and we almost bought one a couple times. But, we decided to wait. This week we were given one for free! The Christophers from Memorial Baptist Church in Brooklyn found one for us! Although, it does need a little cleaning now, because the first time we used it, we had a run-in with a pigeon. It was a good thing that Havilah got out of her side to pass out some tracts or it would have landed on her head! :)

Our week in the Bronx

Havilah is such a good helper...she likes to rub Ian's face as he is falling asleep.

Yonkers

Hava is having a great time!

Ian has been such a good boy! He is so snuggly and smiles all the time!

The Hudson River with a view of the George Washington Bridge and Manhattan. So beautiful!

Some Random Pics

Ian is wondering why mommy put a bonnet on him. It was so cute! :)

NYSET meeting...Havilah loves sitting by bro. Lowery. The other day, she was sitting on his lap, and she turned around and said, "Lowery, do you know I love you?" So he told her she just melted his heart and she said "I'm sorry" :)

I love when Ian looks at me like this!

A "New" Morning!

Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! What a great way to start our summer in NYC!
We arrived in Corona, Queens last night around 10pm. Havilah and Ian have been such troopers on the trip! But, while we were waiting for someone to open the church for us, poor Hava had an accident while sitting on my lap. Then, about 5 min. later Ian's diaper leaked on the other side of my lap. Now, mommy's crabby. :) So, I started thinking about how God uses little things like this in our lives to strengthen our character and draw us closer to Himself. I was reminded last night that in everything, I want to become more like my precious Lord, who always takes care of me! I became excited about the little trials in my life! And, then I thought, "let's go to sleep, because God's mercies are new every morning!" :)

I was also able to enjoy a nice relaxing morning with the kids while Daniel was out doing street evangelism with Pastor Sawyer, and spend some extra time in prayer for him!

Summer Travels

We are headed for NYC! Please pray for safety as we travel from Ohio to Queens today. Ian and Havilah have been so good so far. Ian slept in the car all day yesterday and all night last night. Praise the Lord! Our first week will be spent in Queens. Then, we will be in the Bronx, Yonkers, and Brooklyn.
Thank you so much for your prayers! We're especially thankful for our family, supporting churches and our home church. We received some really sweet cards and gifts as we left yesterday!
We love to hear from you all!

Love the Klaus family

Happy Fathers day!

So thankful for such a wonderful daddy!
