A short while ago I posted some thoughts about Eli on his birthday. In that post I shared about Eli’s first friend, Mr. Dave. You can read that post here. Just last month while in San Diego we were able to go spend the afternoon with Mr. Dave and his wife Katherine. They are a dear couple and sweet friends that we are honored to know.

Here are some pictures of Elisha and Mr. Dave that we took during our visit. While there Mr. Dave gave us a copy of his memoirs detailing his teenage years in Holland during WWII. What a gift to us to read the story of God’s hand of protection on this man who would become our son’s first friend.

Enjoy!
