Getting Ready to Go.....

Well, it's seems like the days are flying by and we're slowly getting our minds wrapped around the idea that we'll be leaving Sept 3rd for about 7 months...in other words there's lots to be done and we're not moving very fast....

And first off is our week long trip to Santa Cruz!! Gotta vacation first, right?? Our friends Merle & Benita invited us to come and stay in their home for a week. Not a hard choice when it's 100+ in Fresno! We're leaving on Sat and Kelly & Sandi are going with us and staying until Tuesday...then on Thursday Paul & Karon are coming over and we'll come back with them the following Saturday. It's always so relaxing there...sleep in, late breakfasts...sunny beach, a movie...read for awhile or nap...stroll around downtown and thru the bookstores. Just fun!

Terry & I worked on a few upcoming dates we needed to schedule...a prayer/sendoff which will be at their home on the 28th of August and August 31st for Bob & I to share the SS hour with the returning Albania team. It's good to nail those dates down and now we'll have to work on something meaningful to share.

The Lord is blessing us over and over as our supporters send in $$ for our flight and stay in Erseke. What an amazing journey it is to trust God's call and then believe that He'll pull it off! It's also great confirmation and we take it to mean must that. He still wants us to go and serve at the Bible school and support the missionary team in Erseke. Isn't that amazing that He says in Jeremiah that He has plans for our life that are good...and in Psalms it says that He will give us the desires of our heart when we are in Him. And He does just that...places dreams in our heart and then fulfills them for our good and His praise. How much He loves us!

We're not in Erseke yet, but we'll get there...just hang around and listen.

I'll be back later.
