THE HEAVILIN HERALD
FEBRUARY, 2010

It really happened! Our Kate graduated from Kansas State (3.951 final calculation) and Manhattan Christian College (4.0) Kate walked at Kansas State on December 12 and will walk in the Manhattan Christian ceremony on May 15. Needless to say, we are extremely proud of her.

We are now at Morro Bay and it is wonderful, as usual. We visited the Monarch butterflies in Pismo Beach, and they were there to greet us as they are every year. The order in God’s design is always a delight to observe. The light tan spots are the underside of the butterflies.
We also visited the elephant seals and were guarded by a platoon of pelicans which kept flying over us.

Our friends Lowell and Shirley Linden visited us from Redlands. While we were visiting the seals, we witnessed a birth of an elephant seal. To be able to see a birth is quite rare, so we all feel very special and privileged.

Marilyn built a dollhouse while we are in Morro Bay. This is the first one she has built in a couple of years. The recipient of the house has already been chosen and will be given the house soon. Marilyn loves giving the houses as gifts to very special friends. This is the 14th house that she has built and given away. She sees the dollhouse as a special reminder of God’s love for each person.

We plan to leave Morro Bay on February 27 and return to Redlands so that Marilyn can have surgery on both feet. The date has not been set for the surgery yet, but will be near the first of March.

We appreciate your continued prayers for our safe travel and good health.

In Him,

Glen and Marilyn Heavilin
