Hello to all!!! I am writing on behalf of David. He now has a full time at Liberty University in the Maintanece Department. He works on the heating and air conditioning units. He is very thankful for this job because it pays for his tuition. The pay is good, and he gets benefits. He is still taking four classes and works the forty hour a week job. 

I really like this photo, David was excited about holding that big gun.

I'm taking classes still at Liberty University and will be looking forward to graduating with my BA in Teaching Enlgish as a Second Language and a minor in Missions, in December of 2007.

This is when David took me to Virginia Beach for my birthday last month. We had an amazing day!!!

I'm still working as a Lifeguard at the student center pool and enjoying it. I will be moving into a new house in December with Kristen Williams, Kristina Gladden, and Cailten Wesolowski, also Whitney Gartland will be staying with us for a period of time until she finds a place for her and Bethany Collins. I'm very excited about that!!! It is a five bedroom house up and downstairs. It is really amazing.

I hope that everyone is enjoying their day!!!

God Bless, Stephanie Kona

I guess, I thouhgt that I should write something, on behalf of me and David. David is in Ecuador until June 1st. He is so excited, he'll be working with Steve Saint. I haven't seen him since Sunday, and I'll see him on June 2nd. Please pray for him. Right now he should be on a plane to Miami, and then to Ecuador. Leave him lots of encouraging comments to read when he gets back. When David gets back, he will be working on his farm for the rest of the summer until classes start again. I'm in Lynchburg taking some classes, and working when I can at the indoor pool and teaching lifeguarding classes.

This is when my mama, and my brother and sisters came to visit.

I thought that i would put up a funny photo of David.

God Bless, stay safe everyone,

I thought I would post some more pictures:

David is about to get his hair cut!!!

There he is with no more hair. We both look really tired.

This is our last week of classes and then exams. David's mom came to visit last week and it was so great. But David was sick and not feeling very good. He is doing almost 100% better now. He has gotten back to his regular diet of Pizza, Pizza, Fries, and Pizza. I have tried to get some fruit salad in him.

One last picuture, this is the photo of the week!!!  Imagine a goat noise coming out of his mouth, it was hilarious!!!

We surprised Ryan Smith for his Birthday!! I think that he liked the party. We drove down to Danville and surprised him at his house. So this is three years in a row that Ryan Smith has had a surprise party!!!

The drive back was so much fun, this is Jacob Webb talking to Brittney Rogers.

This is an amazing picture of Kristina Gladden and Jasmine.

This is just me and Daivd at Ryan Smith's house.

Well we have about Three weeks left in this semester. Then I'll be moving into an apartment with Becky Kyle. I'll be taking summer classes and working a little. David will be going to Ecuador from May 21-June 1. Please pray for him, he will be working with the tribe that killed the five missionaries in 1956. Jim Elliot and Nate Saint etc. The trip is led by Nate Saint's son, Steve Saint, so this will be an amaizing opportunity for him. Then he will be back home working on his farm and trying to save money for the up coming semesters.

Last weekend Becky Kyle, David and I drove over 1200 miles to attend Lauren Ramierz and Paul Artino's wedding. It was so beautiful. We got to see Elizabeth Newby who was in the wedding.

                                   Lauren and Paul Artino!!!

Well it's Spring Break, David went home for Friday thru Monday, and then had to come back to Liberty because of work. He works so hard for the baseball team. I'm so proud of him. He one day off this week, which was yesterday and he took me all over Lynchburg. It was one of the greatest days, I know I will never forget. Now back to work and back to baseball games. Then classes start again on monday.
