Back in the Saddle

Our life has been wild in the past month or so. Wild and exciting. Thanks to those who have written. We landed in Minnesota June 14 and haven't stopped to breathe since! It is good to see family and begin to connect with our friends and supporters in the states.

I'm sorry I didn't blog at all before we left. Some have asked and we did buy the house that we will use in our ministry to women. That is exciting. That went through just before we left Moldova. It still needs to be finished, but we know that it is going to be an exciting place of ministry.

Today I have a few prayer requests for you.

1. Pray for our transition. We are making it,but it is hard to readjust. This summer we are constantly on the road until the very end of August. Please pray for us. We'd like to just settle in, but it won't happen and it is fine and good. I love to be home and right now don't have that, so pray God helps us.

2. We have a missions house to live in in Cold Spring, MN. We are very excited to connected with the great church there and are blessed that they have opened their lives to us. We have gone there, met some of the church people and visited the local school. The prayer request here is that there will be room for the girls at the elementary school in Cold Spring. The girls were excited to see the school. They want to go with other kids and not be home schooled. The school is not guarenteeing a place for the girls. If there isn't a space they'd have to go to the next city for schooling, but they really want to go locally with the kids that they have met from the church and school.

3. My dad has many health issues. He has been in the hospital this week and has had a pace maker/defibulator put in on Tuesday. He is home and recovering well, but pray for him and my mom also. It is tough on her.

4. Pray for safe summer travels. We are going by car and plane to many places this summer. We will be connecting with many people and churches and we need God's protection as we go.

Thanks for being faithful in prayer.
