When I See Her Face: ... Good news from a distant land.

... Good news from a distant land.

"Like cold water to a weary soul, is good news from a distant land."
- Proverbs 25:25

Trent and I would like to announce the addition of 2 more children to the Peterson family!

Introducing Tirzah-Sylvia and Eden-Evelyn:

Thanks to all of you who have continued to keep these girls and our entire family in your prayers.

Thank you all for your love and support!

Love, The Peterson Band
