Hello everyone! This weekend was an immensely fun one for it was my family's family reunion, people from Canada, Portugal, Turks and Caicos, came it was so much fun and very eye-opening seeing my grandfathers brothers and sisters all together once again, apparently they hadn't all been together in like over 10 years so this was a big thing. Unlike other reunions this was a smaller one because it only had people who were related to the 6 main children of my great grandfather. A chain reaction down. I met cousin who I never met before and yes I am still the oldest!
It was a blast I don't think I can stress that enough! Everything from being an official for the "Goodnough Olympics" to beating my cousin Tyler with a foam baseball bat for being perverted. Yes it was great getting together with my main cousin also. Vanessa, Krysten, Jared, Tyler, Brett, Jordan, Aaron, Cameron, Nathan, Bryson, Abbigail everyone was there! I mostly hung out with Jared, Tyler, Vanessa and Krysten, but it was worth it.
One thing for sure is that my family is one of the most important things to me! Alot of the Goodnough family isn't saved and alot of them are very much against Christianity. We had a small gathering of about maybe 10 people for Sunday sercive of singing and sharing. But the family that was there ... wow, prayer time and sharing had such a huge impact, I started crying after thanking them all for being there and giving me tough love when I needed it back then. My Aunty Jana gave me this huge hug after, and I hadn't really spent much time with her, but it felt amazing!
Sadly my cousin Jared, Brett and Tyler are not Christians, and I pray that someday they will be, because I really can't think about them burning in hell forever, it's such a horrifying thought! I did however have a good debate with Tyler about it and made him think. I will be spending a good amount of time with them when I go for Hannah's operation in a couple months. So I hope that it will used for God's glory. I know that my cousin Jared is very open so maybe God will touch his heart.
Well i hope you enjoy the pictures of this fun event in my life!
Love,
Esther
