Joy: New Mexico trip!

Josh and I were able to go to Las Cruces to visit his family this past week! The main reason we went at this time was to see his sister graduate from high school. We are so proud of Grace for all her hard work! She attended a brand new school that is for early college education and even though she came in during her sophomore year she graduated and only has 3 credits to go until she can receive her associates degree. This is SUCH an accomplishment and we know that she will keep working hard and exercising her gifts and using them to bless other people and bring glory to God!

Some important people made an appearance, on the far right is a favourite teach of Josh, Danie, Ari, and Grace (Mr. Lutz). On his right is the current governor of New Mexico, then the new president of New Mexico State University who used to be the governor and signed the initiative that made this school possible, and next to him is the superintendent of the Las Cruces school system who made the school happen. This was the first graduation of the school and they had a 0% dropout rate!

The choir which sang all very spiritual songs, and there was even a prayer at the request of the principle. At a public school graduation! I was impressed and pleased.
