A Day in the Life of the Coppedge Ladies

I used to get regular questions about what a "normal" day looked like for us. I would routinely respond that there was no normal and while that is SO TRUE still...we thought we'd give a little picture preview of a day in the life of the Coppedge ladies...

 

Dad had a battle with a rat in the kitchen, so breakfast one day last week
was in our courtyard....this was still mid-battle when the stove
had been removed but still no rat found!
The girls thought this was GREAT FUN!

Sophia Anne and Chloe Kate are DELIGHTED that mango season is here!
They are SO STICKY all day everyday!
Praise Jesus for juicy mangos!

 

 After one mango bath, we had a quick 18 month twiny photo-op! Sophia is in black and Chloe in white.  Sophie is still our talker and Chloe our active girl. Sophie's first "sentence" was this week. "Where daddy go?" when he left with the big girls to just grab milk at the duka. Chloe dances more than she walks, but runs if she's not dancing!

 

 

 Another dancer is our little ballerina, Lucy Mae...later that same day, we went to the local "golf course" where daddy and some friends from his weekly Arua Bible study were playing frisbee golf.  The walk made for fun photos, but we captured one of some of the players too before heading to our friend Amelie's for a swim!

A cool dip on a hot day! Thanks Amelie!!!

 Friday was another full day, but FUN! We had lunch with my friend Faida and her baby Junior! She is very open to the Gospel...pray with us for her and her family as they seek TRUTH!

 

We rushed from lunch to a baptism.
Our friends David and Medline pastor a Calvary Chapel Church here in Arua and three of our friends were being baptized in the local pool!

My friend Medline and her daughter Melody...
born just a couple of months before the twins.

David, Medline's husband and our friend Doug baptize Betty while Karis and Kylee look on.

 Our next stop Friday afternoon was at our friend Beatrice's home...she has been sick. You have prayed for her before...will you ask the Father to touch and heal his daughter. Her youngest is in her lap in this photo and she has three older children, but she and her husband care for around 10 kids from various brothers and sisters...they truly are a James 1:27 family! Pray with us for encouragment, health, blessing and God's provision! THANK YOU!!!

We concluded the day at the post office...Elsie took this fabulous shot of our post manager who helps us send letters to grandparents and friends and also recieve our mail.

Thanks for your willingness to carry us on our days just around town...

We have traveled much with lots of trainings already this year...but even when we are in Arua, thanks for carrying us to Jesus...and praying that our friends might know Him more and be more wholy His!
