Hello Friends and Supporters,
Thanks for your prayers during our time of furlough.
We are in the Missions Conference of Grandview Park
Baptist Church. The theme is His Name to the
Nations. Last night we spoke to two groups of Awana
kids. Today I speak for two hours in the Spanish III
and Spanish IV classes at the school. Tonight Sharon
speaks at a Ladies Night Out. Tomorrow I speak to
the Geography class at the school and then on Friday
night we speak two different times presenting our
ministry. On Saturday I speak at the Men's prayer
breakfast and then in the afternoon we have a church
picnic. On Sunday I speak to an adult Sunday School
class, preach in the morning and present our
ministry in the evening service. So this is our
first time of officially presenting our work here in
the states and then we will go on from here. We
don't have our DVD presentation quite ready so pray
that we will have it soon. It has been great
fellowship and we praise the Lord for His
faithfulness.
Our schedule her in the midwest is just about
complete. Here is what we have pretty well confirmed

After Christmas we are heading out to Washington and
then we'll start reporting to our churches there
after we get settled in. We have some meetings
scheduled there. Pray about a trip to Israel that
Raquel and I are tentatively scheduling for the last
of February into the first of March. This will be
led by Pastor Brian Wiita and his wife. So we plan
on two weeks of action in the holy land. This is
depending upon scheduling and funds. Raquel and I
are both working and saving to make this happen.
Raquel works in gardens and I have done some
construction on an office building and three decks
and some steps.
We are thoroughly enjoying family and the activities
of Northern Minnesota. The boys and I made a tree
house in the front yard. I have gone ricing (wild
rice) on two different lakes wait out in the sticks
(don't ask where - it's a secret!). We have all
caught fish on the lakes and swam. We gardened and
put up hay. We have done canoeing, paddle boats,
normal boats etc. on the lakes and rivers up here.
We've taken hikes on Indian trails. We have gotten
the hunting cabin and are in the middle of hunter's
safety course in preparation for hunting. I took two
seminary classes and am trying to get the homework
done. Of course we are keeping up with Perú,
communications and preparations for our ministry
here in the states.
Pray for Sharon that she would sleep well on our
travels. Sometimes she can get on a streak of no
sleep and that makes it rough for her to survive.
The kids and Mom need your prayers to be able to
adapt to the different places and still get their
school work done. Pray for our lives to impact
others while we report and brush into people on our
travels. Thanks for keeping up with us and praying.
May God use you today.
