I had the privilege of meeting the newest member of the Bonetti family this past week. Her name is Sonia, yes, S-O-N-I-A. To make a long story short, "Soyna" was how Bridget first saw her name written, but between languages and other factors, it seemed that a "correct" spelling had not been reached as yet. In an effort to make adjusting a little easier, they chose a more common and familiar spelling. Sonia is still healing and adapting. She has a wonderful smile that leaps the language barrier! Keep the family in your prayers.

The Stampers are in their fourth year of home schooling. Donna Stamper is hosting out next Mother's Night Out (see article on page 7). She and Thad have 2 daughters, Kelsey, age 9 and Alex, age 6; and a son, Max, who is 20 months old. Thad has a home business that includes quite a bit of traveling. Little Max is scheduled for a clef pallet operation and other corrective surgery on January 4. Please pray for our dear Stampers as they have requested.
