In Memory of Papa Richard



                                                       In memory of Richard E.Mummau


                                                         December 6, 1936 - April 5, 2012


  


Papa Richard went home to be with his Lord on April 5, 2012 at Lancaster General Hospital after he suffered a massive heart attack.  He was the husband of Darlene (Gerlitzki) Mummau, and they would have celebrated 54 years of marriage on Thursday. Richard was self-employed in a Christian tape ministry. He was a member of the Rheems Mennonite Church. In his spare time Richard enjoyed lawn work and ice cream, and was very delighted in all his extended family, in all the people that he adopted into his family and into his big heart. 


I hope you rest easy in the arms of Jesus, Grandpa until we see you again....

Happy Thanksgiving!


"Know that the LORD is God.
   It is he who made us, and we are his
;
   we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
   and his courts with praise;
   give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
   his faithfulness continues through all generations."

Psalms 100:3-5

A Thanksgiving Prayer


Lord, so often times, as any other day
When we sit down to our meal and pray

We hurry along and make fast the blessing
Thanks, amen. Now please pass the dressing

We're slaves to the olfactory overload
We must rush our prayer before the food gets cold

But Lord, I'd like to take a few minute more
To really give thanks to what I'm thankful for

For my family, my health, a nice soft bed
My friends, my freedom, a roof over my head

I'm thankful right now to be surrounded by those
Whose lives touch me more than they'll ever possibly know

Thankful Lord, that You've blessed me beyond measure
Thankful that in my heart lives life's greatest treasure

That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place
And I'm ever so grateful for Your unending grace

So please, heavenly Father, bless this food You've provided
And bless each and every person invited

Amen!

Handicamp!

       This last weekend I went to Handicamp at White Mills Christian Camp and LOVED it! It was a great experience and I'm so glad that I was able to get out of my comfort zone. You never know how you can grow until you try!



            This is the Rita, the camper that I took care of during the weekend with Loria Bailey.


                                                               
                                                                   Steve and Nick.


This is Kevin and Loria Bailey. Kevin is so awesome to be around! Whenever we had a worship service He would say "Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, Holy Ghost!" It was so sweet!



       Linnea Bailey, Scott and Loria. Scott loves to tell everyone how long He has known
           them and was so proud of His racing shirts. =)




        
                     Roy Kustenbauter, the director of Power Ministries, aka "Mr. K."





                            I loved getting to know Emily. She is very sweet and fun to play around with!



      This is Travis, who was there with his twin brother Alex. He is SO funny and loves to
                                               do anything active!





                               Kenny doing his Elvis act for the talent show. He sang "Love Me Tender"
                                           and did very good!

Everything to Me-Avalon

I grew up in Sunday school, I memorized the Golden Rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out, and I can tell you all about the path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me, and I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same because He changed my life when He became...

(CHORUS)
Everything to me (everything to me)
He's more than a story (more than a story)
More than words on a page of history
He is the air that I breathe (the air that I breathe), the water I thirst for (water I thirst for)
And the ground beneath my feet
Oh He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that I'm aware of just how fragile life can be
I wanna tell the world I've found, a love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm prayin' (everday praying) just to give my heart away (give my heart away)
I wanna live for Jesus, so that someone else might see that He is...

Everything to me (everything to me)
He's more than a story (more than a story)
More than words on a page of history (the air that I breathe)
He's the air that I breathe (the air that I breathe), the water I thirst for (water I thirst for)
And the ground beneath my feet
Oh He's everything, (oh He's everything to me)

And lookin' back over my life at the end, (I'll go to meet You) I'll go to meet You, sayin You've been..

Everything to me
More than a story
More than words on a page of history

You're everything to me (everything to me)
You're more than a story (more than a story)
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breathe (the air that I breathe), the water I thirst for (water I thirst for)
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything
Lord You're everything to me, Jesus

Everything, You're the water I thirst for
You're everything to me, Jesus, oh
Everything, You're the water I thirst for
The air I breathe, the song I sing, oh
Everything to me, everything to me
You're my life, my love, everything

Oasis Welcome Party!

Tonight  I went to the Oasis international student welcome party. There were students from all over the world there and many people from Kentucky and Indiana too. I saw students from The Congo, Nepal, Iran, China, Korea, Bulgaria, Germany, India, The Dominican Republic and many more. We ate some really good food and later on we had a talent show. It was a really good show and there was so much to see. Some danced, some sang, some recited poetry and one guy even did breakdancing! They all did SUCH a good job!

Thank you to all the people who attended and a big thank you to all those who brought food, set up and did all the work! You know who you are! =)

Blessings,
Sierra

A Full Weekend...

I have a full weekend coming up. Tomorrow I work until four and then I am going to the University of Louisville for a get together of International Students called Oasis. They are having their welcome party for new students at the university and people that have came before. It is always a fun event for everyone. I love meeting new people and I really love meeting people from other countries.

Then on Saturday I work until four and after that is the Utica homecoming festival. It is not very big, but considered that Utica is not a big town it is a cool get together. There are usually alot of people there that I know. They have a few booths, some games for the kids, live music and stuff like that. One of the booths I always go to, because they sell homemade sweets. =)

Then in Sunday we have big group church at Silver Heights. I hope that Karina talks about her experiences in Africa. I am looking forward to all that she has to say. Other than that I am not sure what we are doing at church. After church we are going to another festival. The World Fest! Alot of the time while I am there it is kinda overwhelming because there is so much to look at and so much happening at once. I am looking forward to the great food that they have there and the interesting booths and the performances. I just  hope that it is not too hot that day. I am hoping that I can also attend a frisbee party at the Lynch's after the world fest. It seems fun and I do not have to be up early for work the next day because of labor day.  And then monday of course is labor day, so my grandparents will want to have a cookout.

Whew, see what I mean when I say I will have a busy weekend! I am prepared for it to be busy, but I also know that it will be alot of fun and there are alot of memories to be made.
Here's to wonderful times with family and friends! =)
