Over Three Quarters of the Way!

Wow! We are 82% funded with...11 days to go! We are so blessed by those of you who have partnered with us, and we know God is doing amazing things through the prayers of you who are lifting up us, the mission, and the family who will soon receive a new house.

Our last passport has yet to arrive, but we feel confident that it will arrive in time.

Sweet little Noah is a bit concerned about rattlesnakes, but we studied snake safety in school last week, so they are well informed.

Final preparations are in progress, including hotel arrangements for the trips down and back and vehicle checks.  I will begin a packing list soon, and we are selecting blankets and toys and other items that we can donate to the mission for those in need.

We would covet your prayers for safety.  Obviously there is a lot of dire news coming out of Mexico these days.  So God gave me this verse today, which I am claiming and praying for our trip:

Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble. The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.  -- Psalm 41:1-2
