We're Baaackk!

We made it...We are back in Missouri. The trip from Wisconsin down to here was, thankfully, totally uneventful.
As a "kid" I used to long for adventure, and then I was taught by a very wise man, "Never pray for adventure...adventure means that you are probably cold, and wet and scared!" (my paraphrase)
So now we are here and really have nothing much to do for the next couple weeks. We found out that we have enough credits to graduate so that is really cool. Graduation day is May 20th so we are just kinda hanging out until then. I am going to try to keep up with this blog and writing a news letter and all that good stuff.
Also we will be figuring out what our plans will be for the next several years.
At the beginning of April, right before we started our trip, we were told by the leadership here at L.I. that we should probably take some time off and get re-focused as a family. Since it has been only 5 months since the death of Anarazell we realize that it would be good for our family to take some time and heal a bit more and see where in ministry God wants us. It was a bit hard to hear that we should take some time off because we have been with New Tribes Mission since Jen and I got married almost 6 years ago. NTM has been our life and the focus of our plans for all these years, so to have it suddenly...gone...
We have been doing alot of praying, as well as many other people for us, and it looks like our life might be taking a completely different turn in direction from where we have been heading.
More on that later...
We are just happy to be in one place for a little while.
