Well, our time here in Wisconsin is swiftly drawing to a close. Our intentions are to drive down to Missouri on Tuesday the 17th.
Not everyone knows, but we have been asked to become staff at the Language School in Missouri. We have been wanting to have a ministry somewhere in the states and so we have been considering it. They asked Jen to work in the child care and for me to work on the construction crew. We were asked to pray about this the day that we headed up here to Wisconsin...seems so long ago. They wanted us to give them an answer after the Thanksgiving break. After everything that has happened we didn't know what to think anymore. If we accepted the offer we were supposed to take the next several months off and start raising support for our ministry. There is alot of speaking and moving from place to place and such that goes into all that and it seemed like too much for us to do right now. So we talked to the leadership down in Missouri and they asked us if we wanted to take the next semester and work on staff as "volunteers". We will be doing the same jobs that they asked us to do if we are going to work full time there.
So we think this will be good for our next step. It will give us some much needed stability and we can try to "catch our breath" as a family. Isabella will be able to go to child care with her friends and we can try to get her life back to "normal" as well. We don't know if we are going to serve in this position for the long term, but this gives us some time to think and pray about it. It will be good to spend time in the "New Tribes bubble" again. It is all we have ever known as a married couple. These past few weeks of being alone as a family have been good, but it has been very different as well.
So, this might the last post for a few days. We don't have internet access in our house down there so updating the blog isn't quite as easy. I will let everyone know when we get there and will update everyone with our new/old phone number and such.
Please pray for Jen when we get home. The house is all set up and decorated for a baby so that is going to be a bit hard.
Please pray for safety on the road as well.
Thank-you everyone who have kept us in prayer for all this time...
