The Woodbull Story (from dot's point of view)

May 4th, 2006
The Woodrow Family came to visit the us (the Turnbull family) in Massachusets for 3 days and we clicked almost immediatly. One day they went to Cape Cod together and all the girls were following the signs on the trail..ex. When there was a stop sign we would stop and we couldn't move until someone said go. And then the boys would write signs on the ground and we would translate them different and put them all together, and we just had loads of fun and we laughed like the WHOLE time! But then they had to leave and we wouldn't see them until we were in Mozambique:-(

The Turnbulls got to Mozambique. And it was quite shocking, but God helped us through the adjusting part:-)

The Woodrows got to Mozambique. And The Turnbulls and and the Woodrows were reunited, and it felt like they had always been together. And without them, I know that living in Mozambique without them just wouldn't be the same, and definantly not as happy. Our God is an awesome God!!!!

The Turnbull parents had gone with the Zooks to the Lolo tribe and the Woodrows were kind enough to watch the Turnbull kids while their parents were gone. The last day that the Turnbull kids were to be there. Us girls were giving pedicures to each other and I said to Bethy and Gracie, " you guys are so lucky, cause you have older brothers." And Bethy said, "We could share them." And right then somethin' clicked, and we all looked up and we were like, "We should adopt eachother!!" So we were all like really excited and we came up with this grand idea that we would write up an official adoption paper and all sign it and put our fingerprints on it


And then we had to figure out a name combined with both of our last names...so first we came up with Turnrows...but no, that sounded to cheesy, then we came up with Woodbulls, and that is what it has stayed as.


And we made these really cool designs....

and WB for Woodbulls


And now we are one big happy family and...hahaha...we even act like we're family:-D

"'I tell you the truth, Jesus replied, 'No one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mothers or fathers or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, BROTHERS, SISTERS, mothers, children and fields-and with them persecutions) and in the age to come eternal life."' -Mark 10: 29&30

"'I tell you the truth,' Jesus said to them, 'no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age and in the age to come, eternal life."' -Luke 18:29-30

I personally think that these verses fit perfectly...because both of our families left grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, houses, and other stuff. And yet, God gave us another family here. And that just makes me SO thankful!!!
