August 2017 Newsletter

Greetings from Mississippi!  We are now a little over a month into our Stateside Assignment.  These past few weeks have been very busy.  After arriving in the States we had just a few days at home to get settled in before our traveling began.  We did our first speaking engagement at Sumterville Baptist Church in Alabama before flying to Virginia for a week of debriefing with the IMB.  The day after returning from that trip we drove down to the Gulf Coast for a week of vacation with David's family at Orange Beach, AL.  We had another few days to unpack and rest before we loaded the suitcases again and flew to Mexico for a week long meeting with the IMB.  It was a wonderful time of fellowship and training with our mission family that serves all over the Americas.  We are back at our mission house now and thankful for a few upcoming weeks of only local travels.

Our new homeschool year kicked off this week.  Cruz began second grade and Ben began kindergarten. I will continue to homeschool while we are in the States. Please pray for another great school year.  Pray for me as I prepare and teach them each day.  Pray that I would be filled with the fruits of the Spirit and that I would model them well before my children each day. 

We are continuing to fill our calendar with speaking engagements.  Pray for us as we travel and share our stories.  Pray that we would share them well.  Pray that we would be good missions promoters and that many would catch a vision to share the gospel around the world.
