Very Busy Weeks

Snow Angel Lessons! Very Busy!

So sorry I didn't get an update done last week. We have been trying to get caught up on reading and traveling issues, that need to be done, to be ready to go. Last weekend we spoke at First Baptist of Springfield, MO and had a wonderful time with the kids there at their missions progressive dinner. It has been so amazing speaking at the 5 churches and seeing the loving openess for us and our ministry.

Yesterday Aaron was ordained and we were commissioned by our home church, Maywood, in Independence. What an amazing evening it was for both of us. We were able to hear special prayers for each of us from friends and family who love and care about us. There were happy and sad tears all over. We each received a Spanish bible to take with us to the field. However we don't know what it says except for the scripture we have memorized. But we know it will come with language training and time. There was an amazing team of men and women who put on a fabulous reception afterwards. What wonderful taco salads we had! Jeanne Blankenship also made us a wonderful cake and boy was it yummy! It was a bittersweet evening with a mixture of excitement to be going, but saddened by the loved friends and family we will leave behind.

As I sit here on Monday, January 21, I look at the calendar to see we fly out in two weeks from today! Mylee will get an airplane ride for her birthday, February 4. I think we are at a pretty good point at being ready to leave. We received our last item in the mail today of supplies we are neeing to take with us! Praise God it all came on time. We have a very busy two more weeks. But, are so excited to see what God will bring in the coming months as we, together, prepare to take the word of God to Mexico.
