I loved getting all your birthday wishes!! So THANKS to all of you who wrote to me and made me feel special and loved! For the last eight years I celebrated my B-day at camp and each year I am surrounded with different people and we do different things for my birthday. I guess this is special and not everyone has this priviledge.
This year we had camp in our own town and I got to celebrate at home. It’s crazy to think I had over 30 people at my house yesterday – americans, Irish and Slovene friends- celebrating with me. What a priviledge. I thank the Lord for placing so many wonderful people into my life; people who truly care, love and support me. I am blessed with friends and I was more aware of it this year than ever. Gloria

I’m holding a huge cake that was a surprise from my husband. I didn’t expect him to do anything special since he was leaading a camp, american helpers and looking after another Irish team that arrived a day before. Yet he still thought of me and my love for chocolate cake. It was a great surprise. My firend Metka made a baner for me. I think everyone had fun.
Now it’s time to do another camp. It begins tomorrow. After the camp we will take two days off for a family vacation and that back to work; a week of theological training and a week of kids camp.
To Gloria
Happy birthday to you and it look great to see you all surrounded by so many friends. and the slovene supremes hope every thing goes well next week Take care and God be with you all

A belated Happy Birthday to you, Gloria. We are so pleased that the team from Glengormley arrived safely and were able to attend your party! We have been praying for your camps and know that God will bless all you do in His name. Bryan is away playihg golf this mornng. It will probably rain and he will be forced to enjoy coffee and a chat instead! Keith and Fiona are in Co. Fermanagh this week and we are going to see them tomorrow, God willing.
We both send our love and we look forward to hearing from Peter and David when they get back to Ireland.
