Update on the Roper Family

Hello Everyone
I want to apologize for not updating what has been going on for a little while! There are a couple of reasons, one of which I will share about right now!

WE ARE IN CALIFORNIA!
One of the reasons why I have not updated what is going on with us is the fact that we are in California! Now you might be saying, what is the big deal, why not write about that? Well, I needed to keep it hush, hush because we wanted to surprise my dad for his birthday! You see, he knew we were coming, but he didn't have the correct days of when we were coming! He thought that we would be coming on the 22nd of March, but we actually came on the 15th of March. My dad's birthday is the 16th of March and he had no idea that we would be in his house waiting to surprise him! Well, we did it! We totally surprised him! I wish we could have gotten a picture of his face, but we were not able to get one! He was totally shocked that we were standing in the home when he came home from a very busy day at work! We are so glad that we had the opportunity to do that!

For the past week, we have spent time with my (Joey) family going to many parks, IN-N-OUT two times already, our favorite mexican food resturant in Pomona, Mexico Lindo, and really just enjoying the very warm weather! Wearing shorts, sandals, and t-shirts everyday!

We are now spending this week with Rebecca's family and looking forward to all that we will do together!

This past weekend we had the opportunity to go to CCCH for the first time since we moved to Deutschland! We showed up 40 minutes before service because we knew that we were going to see so many people that we haven't seen in a while! Well, we did! For all of you who we have not seen yet, we hope to in the next weeks that we are here in CA! It was a blessing to sit with my wife in church together, worship, and hear an awesome message from Pastor Jack!

I will be trying to keep you all updated more and more and hopefully with some pics! We have some great ones already!

To all of our friends and church family in Deutschland, WE LOVE YOU ALL AND PRAY THAT YOU ARE BEING BLESSED!
