Reynosa Here We Come!!

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to post a quick note to let you know that we will at long last receive our belongings tomorrow morning at 9am! It has been nearly 11 weeks since we left our house in Vale and began living life from suitcases. It did not seem that long at all. However, I must say that the last 2 weeks have made us all very antsy to get officially moved. We've been crossing the border nearly everyday and with each crossing we have grown more eager to just be able to stay. Praise the LORD now we can! The past six weeks in Pharr have been a lot of fun and we know that it was all part of God's plan. We are thankful for the time here at the headquarters and time to fellowship with Randall and Betsy. I think Jackson will really miss running next door to play with Benjamin every afternoon. Incidentally, Saturday is Miller's 11th birthday. We had planned to take a trip to South Padre Island for a day on the beach. However, Miller is gladly forgoing the trip to be able to finally move in to his new bedroom.

Thanks so much for all of your prayers and please don't stop. On Sunday the first mission team of the summer will arrive, a group of 11 teens from a church in Missouri. They will be conducting VBS for the home all week and doing some work around the grounds. This will be Brad's first official shot at TEAM leading. Please pray that things would go smoothly and God would be glorified through it all.

We will update you again as soon as we get internet hooked up in Reynosa. Hopefully it won't take 6 weeks!!

Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow...
