Pray for Beka!!

Yet more pics of my precious daughter ministering to those in Nepal. Please be praying though as she is dealing with some sinus issues. - R.C.K

Beka has been able to get antibiotics so please pray they do the job! - 7/18/2011

Beka said on 7/19/2011 via email to Nikki:
Gmail doesn't work the best on this comp so I couldn't quite respond to your email. Yes, i got the antibiotics and I am feeling so much better!! My gunk in the eyes are gone, sinus pressure is gone. Still blowing my nose but not as much. And it only cost $3 (dollars) so yea. So today we hiked for 4 hours today. It was very energy draining but the view was amazing!! We were sooo high up and the view over the valley was amazing! The million pics I took does not do it justice. I had a headache today but that was prob from lack of water and the elevation. But don't worry, I am fine.
Also, we had a "lice" problem the otehr day. We had to put mayo in our hair and vinager. Yea that was so much fun haha it was gross. But good news, last night, I was lice free (Not that I know if I had lice to begin with anyway). So I was happy :) I got daddy some dirt today and will prob get him some more when we get to pokhara. We are leaving early tomorrow morning and we will have a long bus ride. I dont know when I will get to get online but I will try asap when we get there. I love you guys! Thank everyone for the prayers. I am feeling so much better :)

Love Beka

Beka in Nepal.

Beka looks so happy here, amazing the happiness that will follow one while following after Christ.

Beka and Street Ministry.

Never thought I would see the day when Beka would be involved in street ministry in this way. So proud of her and her compassion for the lost.

Sammy and Daddy at the Turner Field!




Our first game out at Turner Field was fantastic! Braves won 6-3 (a sweep of the Rockies) and boy was there alot to get excited about, here is a short list of things we experienced; two home runs, triple play initiated by Chipper Jones, one broken bat, one bat launched to the stands and a cool close out by Kimbrel! That was just a portion of what we saw, good stuff indeed. It was Sammy's first trip to a MLB game. My own early memories are of those with my dad going to Yankee Stadium to see the likes of Reggie Jackson, Craig Nettles, Willie Randolph, etc... So it was nice that Sam got a little bit of his own memories getting started. The visit to Turner Field was also one of my better visits to a pro-field, very courteous all around. A great visit, just wish Beka would have been with us.

Beka on the airplane to Nepal.

Beka has made it safely to Delhi! There will be a significant layover and then it is off to Nepal. I really miss her yet so proud as well. If you see this Beka (my little Missionary), know that I love you and miss you soooo much!

James Tiberius Kopenski or James Harbor Kopenski!

What can one say? So thankful to have a third on the way, thank you Jesus! The middle name perhaps dependent upon whether or not the baby is born on December 7, 2011 or any other day.
