Please Pray for Holiness Classes!

Above: Daryl and Brittany giving "Greetings" to the Christian Nation Church of Bogota! When you live SO far away these greetings are SO meaningful to the people there. We WELL remember hearing greetings from different churches across the Pond... (USA) or other churches in Russia or Romania and how much it meant. And it gave me a new understanding of what it means in Paul's writings for example when you read of Greetings from other believers. All of the sudden that part of the Bible came alive to me for you felt so much more connected with the whole world of believers this way!


Daryl Preaching in Colombia! Thanks, Heather for letting me "borrow" your pics!
Please Pray the Classes will be a blessing for ETERNITY'S SAKE! Oh may we ALL be doing some heart searching and reaching out to others who have no hope... for His return is SOON!

Our Fun Weekend "Helping my parent's celebrate" their 50th Wedding anniversary!This was a fun park that we found, thanks to Bro. Slaughter!
Even Diesel enjoyed it, as long as he could stay in the shade! (we enjoyed taking him with us to Gram and Gramp's!) Natasha and Gram sharing ideas!
Could you have "TWO 'kings' of the mountain"? Where you see one, you usually find the other! Best Buds!!! (even though they "Hide it well" sometimes!:)
Gramp giving Brittany a twirl on this toy at the park that was aerodynamic. (I think that's the word for it... if not don't burst my bubble... I'm trying to sound all "educated" like my husband!!!)
Now here's the real reason we went! We had fun helping my parents decorate their display table and displaying all of their "Old" and "New"photos!
Here's their wedding album! So sweet! And how we thank God that they have stuck it out... kept running to Jesus for all of their needs. "There is no such thing as a Perfect Marriage... they just don't exist!" eab1 Sunday a.m.'s message But there IS a perfect God and NOTHING'S impossible with Him! Praise the Lord!
Here is my Moma's wedding gown on display! We thought it was beautiful! It was fun trying it on too! (she also had her maid of honor's dress there on display! I accidentally deleted the photo!:()
Two of my favorite men, My sweet husband and my dear Daddy catching up on needed rest while we put the finishing touches on Sunday dinner!

Sharing surgery memories and x-rays with Grandma! Just think of all the changes that have hit our country in Grandma's lifetime! As a little girl, her family rode in horse and buggy. She well remembers what it was like to see her 1st automobile... and now she reads blogs from my sister in Colombia S.America! Amazing, huh?!
Happy 4th of July from the Hausman's Haus!
What would summer be without Black Raspberries?! These were DELICIOUS on our cereal or with fresh cream and sugar for Sunday a.m.'s breakfast!
Black Raspberry... AND CHIGGERS... that is!!! :) Scratch, scratch... itchy, itchy!!! :)
Glad you could join us by pics anyway!

Happy 104th Birthday, Grandma!!!We were privileged to get to visit with Grandma this past weekend! (As close to her birth-date as we possibly could!) We love you Grandma... and are so thankful for your godly life lived out in front of us for generations now! Thank you for all the sacrifices you've made for missionaries all over the world! Giving what you could, which means living off of nearly nothing in order that God's work could go forward! How we pray that God will bless you, richly! Thanks for all the homemade items that you've made us all down through the years. Since you are no longer able to sew and embroidery they mean even more!!!
Darla and Bryan with Grandma on Sunday! Our "TALL" Grandma, indeed... not in stature maybe but in Spirit and heart following after God she stands VERY TALL in our eyes! (For the meaning of "tall Grandma" see older posts) Even at 104... She still made us some of her FINE, FAMOUS, Potato Salad for this past weekend too! Delicious! Ochen Vacoosna!(Very delicious in Russian!) We Bryan's think that no one can make any finer potato Salad than our dear Grandma Bryan!

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary, Moma and Daddy!Today, June 30th, my parents are married 50 years! Many happy moments together! Anyone who knows my Dear Daddy will know why I LOVE this picture of him. His laugh has made us all laugh for years! I love the story of one that Moma tells of one of their 1st dates when Moma had told daddy something which he thought funny and so he howled laughing and she turned VERY red... for the whole GBS campus could hear him laughing at her! :)
One of the rare pictures that you'll find of Daddy smiling! He is a very jovial person, but somehow has the idea that in pics he's NOT supposed to smile. So here's another of my favorites for I LOVE His smile! :) This picture is taken in front of the Taft Museum just at the end of our street where Daddy "Engaged" Moma! (As our son Bryan calls it!)
The Edgar A. Bryan's 1961-2011! Thanks Daddy for taking such Tender Care of Moma all of these years! And thanks Moma for following and standing by your man through thick and thin... (it was mostly THIN... in our growing up years!!!) Yet we NEVER knew we were poor, for the Lord gave you both such an ability to make do with whatever He provided! You were never "down in the mouth" for worrying about all of your needs... We just watched you go to Jesus for your every need! What an example you have been to us over the years! God has always provided for you all and you were/are always QUICK to praise Him!
Thanks, Moma for teaching us how to "flirt" with our husbands, for loving Daddy, NEVER exploiting his faults to us, sticking up for him if ever if was necessary, sitting on his lap, keeping him happy and a true sense of the word, "Help Meet"!
And thanks for the reward, Daddy! (I may get in trouble for this one!!!! Yikes!!!) But we kids NEVER doubted that you loved each other unconditionally... and that's GONE a long way towards making us who we are today!
Andrew and Vonnie Bryan and their six blessings from heaven! They celebrate 24 years together this fall! Praise the Lord for keeping you safe... same "glue" has held you all too!
Lincoln and Lynette Bryan and their 2 blessings from Heaven! Thanks Lincoln and Lyn for being faithful to each other as well! They celebrated 22 years this spring!
Daryl and Laura Hausman and our 4 blessings from Heaven! Together for 21 happy years! PTL!
Phillip and Heather Dickinson and their 5 blessings!!! (so far that is... again I may get hit... but I think I'm a safe enough distance away!!!:) They just celebrated 16 years earlier this month!
We are all "Together Forever" God being our helper!
Thanks Moma and Daddy for loving Jesus MOST OF ALL! You've been faithful and your children want to take this occasion to "rise up and call you blessed!" We love you all SOOOOO much! And look forward to getting to spend a few days with you all here soon! XOXOXO!
Your Eldest Daughter,
~Laura~

Our Baby Boy, Jesus sent us, is now 8!A special Happy Birthday, to my "birthday twin" in Romania! I miss you, Marius! Love, Bryan
I loved this spontaneous smile... just couldn't help himself!
When I can, I usually allow the kids to pick their birthday menu. Their day usually starts with breakfast-in-bed... well the " in-bed" part was nixed... for Bryan came bounding down the stairs to see if the Soppy Chocolate (see older posts) was ready yet just a tiny bit after 7a.m.!!! And This was Bryan's supper menu. Indian Taco's! He doesn't think ANY taco is complete without homemade guacamole... and most of us were SO glad that Daddy splurged and brought home 3 very ripe avocado's just perfect for what the kids called "Guatemala"!! (guacamole!) :)
And this is how the "rest" of the family enjoys Indian Taco's!
Bryan wanted to go to a park EVEN BEFORE OPENING HIS CARDS FROM FAMILY!!!! This is the kids absolute favorite park in the city. However, I usually have to "pray"(but that's a good thing) for the park is made UNDERNEATH the Interstate 471 crossing the Ohio River! You can hear huge semis crossing etc while the kids are playing!!!! (and since I'm claustrophobic... LOTS... that's the reason I must pray!) It is VERY cool though, and there's almost always a nice breeze!

Uh... this cake ENDED my "GR-8t" plans for a figure 8 race track cake!!!
Thankfully the Lord allowed this round to turn out... so this is what "we" came up with! You can guess "who" helped with the decorating!

Happy Birthday, Bryan we are sure glad that Jesus allowed us to have a boy too! Our prayer is that you will ALWAYS allow Jesus to be the Pilot of your life! Never try take over the controls yourself! Love you little boy... and thanks for not being TOO OLD to still climb on Moma's lap once in a while to hear a story! Love you lots!
