After 15 years of marriage, we are excited to share with you that we are now parents! Our daughter, Breanna Mercy Gaona was born on Friday, July 10, 2015 at 11:58 p.m. After a long labor that 
spanned several days (50+ hours), she finally entered the world weighing 7 lbs 9 oz and was 21 inches long. We are so thankful for all of your prayers, which were answered, as she is healthy and beautiful.
We are adjusting to life as new parents and enjoying each day. Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him.” We truly believe we have been given a precious gift and we are thankful to God for His perfect timing in blessing us with baby Breanna.
Moving Forward
We have received Breanna’s birth certificate and passport. We have applied for her visa and should receive it back in the next two weeks and then we will have everything we need. We have booked our flights and will be leaving on September 14th to resume ministry in India and Nepal where we will serve the remainder of the year.
If you are in So. California, we would love to see you and have you meet our newest addition. Bond will be teaching at churches on the following dates:
Sunday, August 16th at 11:30 a.m. at Chinese Bible Missions Church in Alhambra (LA Area)
Wednesday, August 19th at 7 p.m. at Calvary Chapel Saving Grace in Yorba Linda (OC Area)
Sunday, August 30th at 10:30 a.m. at The Chapel in La Mesa (SD Area)
We are staying in the Orange County, so if you are in So. California please let us know if you would like to get together in the next few weeks. Thank you for your prayers, friendship and financial support throughout this season. We have been overwhelmed by the love we have received over the past few months as we welcomed Breanna into our family. We look forward to what the Lord has in store for our family of three as we continue to serve overseas.
With Love,
Bond, Heather and Breanna Gaona
