Graduations and Moving days!

In May, a few from our family were privileged to be able to attend the college graduation of two cousins from Penn View Bible Institute.

  
The three of us at my aunt's house, dressed up for commencement.

Ezra Morley (Valedictorian) and Crystal Lucas!

There were so many Morley cousins present for the occasion that we had to snap a picture!

Party time for the Graduates!

Following the graduation, a number of the girls gathered to pack shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. We packed a total of 200 in around 2 hours.

Creating an assembly line for efficiency!

The other wonderful occasion in May was the moving day of our Uncle and family from PA to a house they purchased about 5 minutes away from us here! We were so happy to help them unpack the truck and settle in and we love having them for neighbors!

Just a few weeks later, another Uncle and family, also from PA,  packed up their belongings and moved a few miles away, making us all very happy!

Now as we gather together for singing and worship with our nearby family, we feel extremely blessed!

Until next time,
Susanna
In a time and a culture that is at increasingly great risk, we desire to share the ageless truth that God created each precious human being, and that they can live out God’s plan for their lives and their families. The Ten Commandments are still relevant. The Bible is still the message that tells us the story of Jesus and our hope of salvation and eternal life. There is forgiveness for sins and there is hope and healing for sorrow, loss, and pain. God can still enable His children to live authentic Christian lives. He still purposes to give Peace on Earth and Favor to all mankind! The joy of music, Jesus Christ, and family togetherness is a great blessing to us and we trust you will find the same for yourself and your family!

Winter Blues with the Bradfords

  Central Missouri, particularly for our lively family, is not very "blue" in the winter season, it is actually quite warm and sunny most of the time! We did get a lovely snowfall which made for some fun winter sports including iceskating!  However, many days are in the 50-60*s and sunny! Here we are cleaning the furniture from our second house so we can fix it up and sell it.   Somebody figured out a creative way to do schoolwork!  Sweet friends came down from NY and when you have a second harpist in the house, of course you have to get a picture!  She even gave me a hand milking the cow!  Time for Monopoly!  Lots of practice!    In February, Dad, Charity and I traveled back to PA on a business trip and for Charity to pick out a new violin since hers got cracked at Christmas time due to an accident. She enjoyed playing duets with cousin Andrea as she decided which violin to choose!    On Sunday back in PA still, several of our friends and cousins decided to go window to wind

 It has been a very long stint away from our blog but we are excited to be back and hopefully posting more often in the weeks to come!  Here is a little pictoral update from the past months!  December was full with a two week music tour to Pennsylvania and New York where we had 14 concerts and traveled 3000 miles in 14 days! We were grateful that we stayed well the entire trip and had a safe and enjoyable time. We pray our music touched hearts and lives for Jesus!  Back in Salem, we did some Christmas caroling for friends and neighbors and everyone loved the bell songs!  While in NY, we were happy to spend some time with our great-aunts, some of our biggest support and cheerleaders!  In March, Charity and Susanna had the opportunity to play in a live orchestra for a homeschool drama group doing a performance of the musical Little House on the Prairie. It played 8 different times and they had a great time participating! We have not had to wear face masks very often out here in the midwe
