Notes from Classmates

 

From Greg Nainani:

Stephanie will graduate from LLU School of Medicine this May and I will finish year two of three at USC's Marshall School of Business.  Rumor has it that we will be going to bed early that evening.

Yes, there are kids in our lives.  The best kind of kids--other peoples' kids.  (I told Steph no kids until we can at least keep our plants alive!)  This is the third year of our involvement with the teen Sabbath School class at Victoria church and do they ever need you!

They need your contributions, ideas, and prayers to raise the funds for our mission trip to China or Jamaica this Summer.  Those who would like to help us with the costs can mail their contributions to:


Victoria SDA Church
1860 Mountain View Avenue
Loma Linda, CA 92354

Write "Teen mission trip" in the memo and email me at nainani@usa.net so I can keep track of our fund.

If any of you find yourself traveling through area, we'd love for you to stay with us.  I look forward to seeing everybody in April, and maybe a few before.

 

From Sara (Bates) Kendrick):

Hello All,
Life in Florida is still just fine.  We live in a great town/city, Port Charlotte, on the  West coast and on the outskirts of nearly everything, so it's all accessible to us.  We no longer have a "guest" room, but Brian built on an addition of a "playroom/ scrapbook studio" for the kids and me to hang out in and it's got a fold out sofa....so...if you're up for a lumpy couch or air bed give us a call to make your reservations!

Our sons Zachary and Jacob keep us very busy.  Zack is now 4.5 years old and Jaek, (yes.....E-K.. not K-E) just turned 2.  Life is so much easier when the child being "picked on" can TELL you what the "pick-ie" has done...  I guess we've still got too much time on our hands, because we're adding a third, a girl this time, in June.  Just in time for the next update!  Maybe we'll include a picture of the brood next time.

I'm just working part time at my dental hygiene job.  Right now I only work one day a week, which is enough for me.  I'd much rather be home breaking up fights over Lego creations than scraping tartar off some strangers teeth!  I love my job, but much prefer motherhood to oral hygiene instruction!  I just miss my kids too much while I'm gone.

Hope all is well with all of you, drop us an e-mail if you want....our addy is bskendrick@juno.com .
