Merry Christmas from The Stephens Family!
This year has been filled with exciting adventures, beautiful memories, and an abundance of blessings for our family! 2013 will always be a very special year to look back on!
In March of this year, Dustin & I went to Nicaragua on our first international mission trip as a couple. God began working in our hearts on the trip, and while we weren't exactly sure what He was saying, we knew that He was stirring in us and that our lives were about to drastically change. After many steps of faith and even more prayers, we were officially appointed as Global Partner missionaries to Haiti. In the coming year we will be moving our family to Haiti and beginning our work as full-time missionaries overseas. We are excited about the future and cannot wait to see how God will continue writing our story in the coming months & years as we serve the people of Haiti.
Ainsley (3 yrs. old) is definitely keeping us on our toes these days. There is never a dull moment when she is around! She has quite the imagination and is constantly talking….from the moment she wakes up in the morning until her head hits her pillow at night….the little girl has lots to say! :) Most days she can be found in a princess dress, dancing around our living room, and singing her little heart out! She is also thriving in her newest role as a big sister - she constantly wants to hold, kiss, and hug her new baby sister!
Piper, the newest addition to our family, was born on November 23rd. She has brought even more joy into our lives than we ever thought possible! We are enjoying newborn baby snuggles and trying to cherish these precious moments as a new family of four.
Blessings from our family to yours!
Dustin, Nancy, Ainsley & Piper
