Dear Friends & Family,
As many of you
already know we have arrived in the States and have
adjusted to the time change. The kids were absolutely
wonderful for all of the three flights to the States.
They are enjoying taking everything in and Amy & I are
having fun showing them what is home to us. A number of
times we find them looking quizzically at something and
suddenly realize that we never thought this would be new
for them. The kids have met both grandparents and even
two of their remaining great grandparents. Needless to
say the grandma's and grandpa's are thoroughly enjoying
their time with them!
The past two weeks
have consisted of a debrief at MAF HQ in Nampa, Idaho as
well as a visit to our
church in Boulder City, NV and Acton, CA. We are now in
Lancaster, CA enjoying time with family. We are looking
forward to spending the holidays with them as well as
visiting with a number of folks in the Antelope Valley.
Stay tuned for possible Open House events in both the
Antelope and Victor Valleys. We are looking forward to
sharing with you what God is doing in Africa! Below is
our new contact information, and please feel free to
contact us so we can make sure to see you.
As several of you
noticed in our last e-mail, I mentioned the arrival of a
baby. Afterwards I realized we never officially
announced that Amy was pregnant! Oops! Well now you
know. She is due April 14th. We weren't trying to hide
anything, we just wanted Elyanna to have her spotlight
in the newsletter and then we'll have a spot in the next
newsletter for the baby. We hope to find out what if
it's a boy or girl next Monday.
Many of our friends and
churches have been asking how our support is doing and
how they can assist us financially. Our support is
doing well but we are always open to new partners. We
did want to let you know of one particular need. We
will need to purchase another vehicle when we return to
Uganda and we are asking for some assistance with this
as our last car's engine died and we were not able to
sell it for much. If you do choose to give towards this
need, please make the check out to us as MAF no longer
accepts personal gifts for us. Thank you again for all
of your support in many different ways!
