It was hotter more days this summer than any summer that I can remember. I usually look forward to the nice hot days, but it was a wee bit much this year. Whew!
Fall appears to be here. Grandkids are back in school, Awana clubs are going strong, our church's ladies retreat is this weekend. We are all very busy doing what we do.

He graduated with honors, receiving his Associate of Arts with a 4.0 GPA.

First,we enjoyed a breakfast at our church with our church family, then a full service of singing, and hearing about Jesus' sacrifice for our sins, death, and glorious resurrection from the dead. It was a very nice morning!<br />In the afternoon, we were able to visit and share dinner with my sister, <strong>Karlene</strong>, and her husband, Calvin McKean; my brother, <strong>Robert</strong>, and his wife and son, Jan and Jodie; and my brother, <strong>Craig</strong>, his wife, Susan; and two of his children, Jonathon and Jeremy, and Jeremy's wife and children, Missy, Jacob, January, Jade, and Justin. Our three children were there also. <strong>Malcham</strong>, and <strong>Mary</strong> with her boys, Zephaniah, Austin, and Ethan, and <strong>Tim</strong> with his wife and children, Joy, Mark, and Stephanie. We had a very pleasant day.

They allowed for the number of our living grandchildren to increase to fourteen! It was nice to be able to visit them and their families (Esther flew out to Pennsylvania in May and to Michigan in October). We said “Goodbye” to Malcham in July when he officially moved out of our home to Pueblo to eventually attend CSU there. He has just recently moved to La Junta to finish college at OJC, but is, again, in his own apartment. We still see him often as he works here when he is able. Sadly, Richard had to say “Goodbye” to one of his friends, Tom Jenkins, earlier this year (Tom’s memorial service was in May). We got to say “Hello” to Laurie and Michaela Heggenstaller when they came to visit us in July. That was definitely a highlight. Then, just this month we had to say “Goodbye” to Richard’s oldest brother, Albert Muth. His funeral was very honoring to God and Albert. Many people reminisced about “Old Reliable #10” a name he acquired by attending so many farm auctions in the area. He will be missed by not only family, but many friends as well.<br />The Lord has provided many customers and sales to keep our farm machinery business thriving as well as welding projects for our employees to work on. We are thankful for this opportunity to serve the community.<br />Anna and Tom Parker have moved to 2674 Colorade Avenue, North Port, FL 34286. Tom is now working with Young Life in the Charlotte Harbor area of Florida. This coming summer, Tom will be helping at a Young Life Camp in Buena Vista, Colorado, so perhaps we will get to see the whole family sometime in July. Christian (14 years old) is staying with Tom’s parents in Indiana for this school year. He really enjoys hanging out with Papa as he oversees the building of their new house. Karissa (10 years old) is enjoying her new pet hamsters. Bryce (4 years old) is learning to swim and gets to go with Anna to work, occasionally. <br />Tim and Joy are serving the Lord as youth pastor and Awana Commander of our church and working for his dad, here at Muth Welding Service. He is also very much involved with Camp Salvation. Joy has the privilege of homeschooling their children. Mark (10 years old) and Stephanie (8 years old) are growing and learning to be used by God to be lights shining for Him.<br />Sarah and Tim Valiante have bought a house at 271 Old Greenwood Road, Millville, PA, 17846. Tim has done quite a bit of remodeling to make this their home. He continues to be the Pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Sarah has been doing Bible studies with a few church ladies, and recently, started to do part-time secretarial work at the church. Micah (4 years old) and Kiersten (3 years old) are still learning and growing like crazy! Lydia Hope was born March 15th. It was such a delight to visit them after the birth of Lydia. The children play so nicely together and sing sweet praises to God on a regular basis.<br />Mary has been able to visit two of her far-away siblings this year. In March, during spring break (while her boys were with their dad), she flew to Pennsylvania to be with Sarah to help. The Valiante family had moved into their new home just the week before Lydia was born. Her help was very much appreciated. To end up her summer, after working two separate weeks at Camp Salvation as cook/then counselor, she flew off to Midland, Michigan to spend some time with Michael and Jenny’s family. Mary was thrilled to get to play with the boys, pick blueberries, visit with Jenny’s parents, go to the zoo, and spend quality time visiting Michael and Jenny. Back home, she continues taking care of our household, helping/teaching in children’s church and Directing Cubbies in our Awana program at church. She is also our church’s main janitor. Zephaniah (soon to be 15) is now in 9th grade at Swink School; Austin (11 years old) is in 4th grade, and Ethan (9 years old) attends 3rd grade. They all enjoy playing video games, and watching movies, as well as just being “boys” as they play. Zeph is enrolled in driver’s education. Mary is looking forward to having him help with driving.<br />Michael and Jenny are in charge of the junior high Sunday school class at their church as well as the junior high youth ministry which meets during their church’s Awana Clubs time on Monday nights. Michael continues to work in construction. Jenny is still doing her Pampered Chef business as well as making weekly trips to an Amish farm to pick up milk, dairy products, and produce when in season. Aaron (5 years old) and Evan (3 years old) continue to learn and grow. They welcomed their baby sister, Cadence Abigail (born September 5th at home), with open arms.<br />Malcham finished his first year at Otero Junior College with a 4.0 grade average. He worked part time for our business as much as his busy schedule would permit. In July, as I mentioned before, he moved out to see what it would be like to be “on his own.” Then, he headed for Camp Salvation to be the Game Director. From what I understand, he did a wonderful job. I think he was pretty tired after working for four weeks straight (that also included a trip to Denver to witness the wedding of camp friends). He then headed off to Pueblo to unsuccessfully find a job before classes started at Colorado State University – Pueblo. He did pretty well in his classes for this past semester, but has decided to finish this year of college back at OJC. Now his residence is 2307 Belleview Apt. 202, La Junta, CO 81050. We’re glad that he will be able to work at Muth Welding Service once again.<br />We (Richard and Esther) are still involved with church activities. Richard is deacon and Awana leader; Esther teaches Sunday School, leads in Awana Clubs, is treasurer, and plays the organ and/or piano. We are very thankful for the blessings which God has brought into our lives. We hope and pray that each of you will have a relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ, for it is in Him that we have the hope of eternal life. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<br /><br />Richard and Esther Muth, and Mary, Zeph, Austin, and Ethan Pope<br /><br />“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24Mom and Dad Muthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09117585499796512585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228569954096794995.post-28944066147388986992011-12-26T09:34:00.002-07:002011-12-26T09:39:37.131-07:00Merry Christmas!We had a wonderfully blessed Christmas yesterday. It all included sleeping in a little, opening presents, breakfast, church services, turkey dinner, and lots of visiting with our family. We (the six of us living here) were joined by son, Malcham, and son, Tim, and his family (Joy, Mark, and Stephanie). We got calls from other children and their families and got to Skype with Anna and her family (Tom, Christian, Karissa, and Bryce) who were visiting with his folks in Indiana.

July was a very busy and HOT month. Malcham and Tim were at camp for four weeks. They had much fun as they directed the games and other aspects of camp, and saw many campers make good decisions to accept the Lord as their Savior or to live for Him. Mary went to camp for two different weeks; she worked her first week as a cook and the last week as a counselor. Our two younger grandchildren, Austin and Ethan, attended the first week as campers.

It looks pretty cool, huh? He is only asking $7,000 for it. He would like to replace it with a four-door something with room for "stuff" and which has the capabilty of pulling a small trailer.

God has taken care of our family and the needs of our business throughout this year; each of our family members and friends are being loved by God in the best way possible. <br />In May, we were happy to announce that Malcham had graduated from his home schooling. We had a well-attended reception for him at our home in July, where he was able to grill hamburgers and hot dogs on his new grill. Malcham continues to work for our business as well as attend Otero Junior College. He enjoys playing guitar, listening to his music, playing video games, hanging out with his friends, and driving his green 2001 Mustang convertible car. This past summer he was able to be a camper one week as well as game leader for three weeks, helping his brother at Camp Salvation. He also went on a backpack camping experience, after the regular camps. Just recently, he was able to get his braces removed, but now has to deal with retainers, which were glued into his mouth.<br />Mary flew out to Alabama in May, while her boys were with their dad, so she could visit with her sister, Anna. She was also able to help as a cook at Camp Salvation this year for two weeks. Austin attended as camper one week at the same camp. She continues taking care of our household, helping/teaching in children’s church and Directing Cubbies in our Awana program at church. Zephaniah (soon to be 14) is now in 8th grade at Swink School; Austin (10 years old) is in 3rd grade, and Ethan (8 years old) attends 2nd grade. They all enjoy playing video games, and watching movies, as well as just being “boys” as they play. We’re happy that Zeph has taken over the lawn-mowing at our place. Zeph and Ethan both had braces put on their teeth.<br />Michael and Jenny have remodeled the kitchen of their house and are looking forward to living in a house that is “finished.” Michael continues to work in construction, having put many of his skills to use as he has done much of the work on their own home. Jenny is doing well with her Pampered Chef business. They both are involved with their church as he is in charge of the junior high kids. Aaron (4 years old) and Evan (2 years old) continue to learn and grow. They have been blessed in so many ways this past year. You can follow some details of their life on their blog: http://mjmuth.blogspot.com. <br />Sarah and Tim Valiante have moved to 254 Utt Road, Orangeville, PA 17859, where Tim has taken on the role of Pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Millville, Pennsylvania. Micah Joel (who will be four on February 15th ) and Kiersten (2 ½ years old) are still learning and growing like crazy! We all look forward to the arrival of their third child (a daughter) in March. You can log onto their church’s web page to read more about their activities at http://www.ebcmillville.com.<br />Tim and Joy are still serving the Lord as youth pastor and Awana Commander of our church and working for his dad, here at Muth Welding Service. He directed Camp Salvation for four weeks this summer. He has been close to the young Christians of the community as they planned a “Field of Faith” this fall, and now he is in the process of planning an overnighter for the area youth to be on New Year’s Eve. Joy home schools Mark (9 years old) in his fourth grade studies and Stephanie (7 years old) in second grade. Mark is still very confident and outgoing, while Stephanie enjoys being a little princess who likes to draw.<br />Anna and Tom Parker have moved to 12563 Stone Tower Loop, Fort Myers, FL 33913, where he is Youth Pastor at Riverside Church. Anna still teaches piano lessons, but happily doesn’t have very many students, yet. Christian (13 years old) and Karissa (9 years old) both attend a charter school. Christian has been able to take tae kwon do lessons. Bryce aka Big Boy (3 years old) gets to stay at home with mom! They are enjoying the warm sunny weather in Florida. We look forward to their visit for Christmas this year!<br />At the beginning of this year we (Richard and Esther) were able to purchase a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country van. We sold to Tom and Anna our 2003 van, which Malcham and Esther drove out to Alabama for them. After visiting a few days, we flew back to Colorado with Mary. It was quite a trip! Malcham is a very good driver. Most days you will find Richard working at selling / buying equipment or keeping our employees busy at Muth Welding Service. Esther keeps an eye on the books of the business, which our secretary, Denise Hosea, does a good job of keeping. We both are involved with church. Richard is deacon and Awana leader; Esther teaches Sunday School, leads in Awana Clubs, is treasurer, and plays the organ and/or piano. We are very thankful for the blessings which God has brought into our lives. We hope and pray that each of you will have a relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ, for it is in Him that we have the hope of eternal life.<br /><br />Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<br /><br />Richard, Esther, and Malcham Muth; and Mary, Zeph, Austin, and Ethan PopeMom and Dad Muthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09117585499796512585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228569954096794995.post-89955839203878223292010-11-15T10:18:00.001-07:002010-11-15T10:29:22.864-07:00I'm Thankful, too!Our daughter-in-law, Jenny, has been posting several blogs on what she is thankful for. I, too, am thankful for many things. I'm thankful for the fact that we live in such an amazing country where we still have freedom to worship as we please. I'm thankful that God allowed His son, Jesus, to pay for our sins so that we may have a hope of eternal life with Him in heaven some day. I'm thankful for a wonderful husband and the six offspring and their spouses with which we are blessed. I'm thankful for the grandchildren we have been blessed with. Also: a nice house in which to make our home, a good place to run our business, church family, sisters and brothers, etc. <br /><br />May the Lord be glorified in our lives!Mom and Dad Muthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09117585499796512585noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228569954096794995.post-8189927418154184392009-12-21T14:50:00.002-07:002009-12-21T15:09:41.261-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Uj8D9pDWF_UXiWhNSLgLmc7MBxsszkBK9c0G19ppeOuxZqq0aHPrU4Ol3kwFk7aMkFXPlyu5CkYalgex3vr5VRZjEOvNheUoxuRLAyNK-YbflqMKtWdnmBz6adzHlHO9Tk-vYHkYDK0/s1600-h/Mary's+10-09+to+11-28-09+179.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Uj8D9pDWF_UXiWhNSLgLmc7MBxsszkBK9c0G19ppeOuxZqq0aHPrU4Ol3kwFk7aMkFXPlyu5CkYalgex3vr5VRZjEOvNheUoxuRLAyNK-YbflqMKtWdnmBz6adzHlHO9Tk-vYHkYDK0/s320/Mary's+10-09+to+11-28-09+179.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417812959459651074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMmdGKLZWmlji3hNlvebbEeX04Qv6cwaNL-GYQlJ8bp9xh1y4YXINkghVuC-NNKZ-z0EqIRVpCBJaN1Ft_BNZwJHqUAVjA6QC8Npz9ME77mMkewphZbU2_BFZe3vfX0a6XcAeuBA7fzoY/s1600-h/2009+visit+from+Valiantes+and+Muths+021.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMmdGKLZWmlji3hNlvebbEeX04Qv6cwaNL-GYQlJ8bp9xh1y4YXINkghVuC-NNKZ-z0EqIRVpCBJaN1Ft_BNZwJHqUAVjA6QC8Npz9ME77mMkewphZbU2_BFZe3vfX0a6XcAeuBA7fzoY/s320/2009+visit+from+Valiantes+and+Muths+021.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417812950681098802" /></a><br />Here are some more pictures which were in my letter.

Not only has God taken care of our family throughout the year, but we have been blessed by seeing our twelve grandchildren growing and learning, watching the needs of our business being taken care of, and knowing that each of our family members and friends are being loved by God in the best way possible.<br />In early spring, we were invited to celebrate the 50th Wedding Anniversary of Richard’s brother and sister-in-law, Alfred and Dorothy Muth. Many family members were there to see and visit. <br />In May, Richard and I (along with my sister, Karlene and her husband, Calvin) traveled up to Denver to celebrate our brother Kennard’s life. We were able to visit with Ginny King and Kennard’s children, Jodie and Jeremy and their families. It was a nice time of reflections. Upon returning home, we were able to see the Mother’s Day present which our children had fixed. They had done some wonderful landscaping around the base of two big blue spruce trees in our yard. That was a big surprise for me. <br />Our business has continued to keep us very busy, allowing us to take on extra help. Malcham has been one of our workers, as he has helped Tim to organize equipment and parts in the yard. He’s been very helpful to customers needing to find things on our sales lot.<br />July was a very busy month for camps. Tim took off from work for three weeks to direct at Camp Salvation. Malcham worked as game leader at Singing Valley Camp for junior week, then he was able to be a camper at both of these camps. Mary cooked at Camp Salvation for two different weeks, and I (Esther) went to Camp Salvation as a counselor, then cooked at Singing Valley Camp for their Jr./Sr. High camp. Austin was able to attend Camp Salvation with his brother, Zeph. We all had fun. Our family was also able to visit the Royal Gorge Park.<br />October was also a great month in that Sarah and Tim Valiante’s family came for a visit, followed by a visit from Michael and Jenny Muth’s family. They were all here for a weekend, so Karlene and Calvin came down for a nice big meal and visit. We all had a great time.<br /><br /><br />Anna and Tom are still ministering at Wall Highway Baptist Church in Alabama. Tom continues taking classes towards his master’s degree at Liberty University Online. Anna still teaches piano lessons. Christian (12 years old) and Karissa (8 years old) both attend public school, and Zachery Bryce (2 years old) enjoys sharing the center of attention with their two new dogs. <br />Tim and Joy are serving the Lord as youth pastor and Awana Commander of our church and working for his dad, here at Muth Welding Service. He has taken on the responsibilities of directing Camp Salvation and planning area youth rallies. Joy home schools Mark (7 years old) in his third grade studies and Stephanie (6 years old) in first grade. Mark is very confident and outgoing, while Stephie enjoys being a little princess who likes to draw.<br />Sarah and Tim Valiante continue to serve the Lord at Lighthouse Baptist Church, while Sarah has been a stay-at-home wife. Micah Joel (who will be three on February 15) and Kiersten ((aka KiKi) about 20 months old) keep their family busy. Tim has continued some seminary classes at Calvary Baptist Seminary in Lansdale, PA, as well as being youth pastor at church. We really enjoyed listening to Micah talk and sing while he was here with his family. KiKi was very sweet. <br />Mary is such a blessing to our family. Besides taking care of our household, she teaches children’s church, picks up extra kids for our midweek service (children’s ministry), and helps in our Awana program at church. Zephaniah (soon to be 13) is now in 7th grade at Swink School; Austin (9 years old) is in 2nd grade, and Ethan (7 years old) attends 1st grade. They all enjoy playing with Lego and/or K’Nex blocks, playing video games, and watching movies.<br />Michael and Jenny have almost finished the remodeling of their house/home. They hope to get refinanced, make the kitchen a little more updated, then sell, it for a profit. Michael continues to work in construction, though his body aches for a job with a little less physical stress. Jenny has started to sell Pampered Chef products. Their boys are learning so much and entertained all of us when they were here in October.<br />Malcham is now 17 years old and a senior in our Muth Home School. He has been so helpful in our business, when he is working. Between his guitar playing, computer games, and hanging out with his friends, he has kept busy with attending Campus Crusade, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and youth activities in the area churches. You will find him leading games on Monday nights at Awana Clubs and leading songs at our church on Wednesday nights. We are very proud of our youngest!<br />On December 17th Richard was able to get together with his siblings and their mates to celebrate Albert’s 75th birthday. Picture includes Shirley & Don Lacy, Ruth Muth Grenard, Esther & Richard, Dorothy & Alfred, and Grace & Albert. Janice Muth was with them, too, but had to leave before the picture was taken.<br /> We are very thankful for the blessings which God has brought into our lives. We hope and pray that each of you will have a relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ, for it is in Him that we have the hope of eternal life.<br /> Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<br /> Richard, Esther, and Malcham Muth; and Mary and her boys, too!Mom and Dad Muthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09117585499796512585noreply@blogger.com0
