The Journey


This month will be a month of many transitions. Already we are experiencing the hardship of saying good-bye, but we know that God is anxious to begin things in Sucre. For that reason we are so excited to begin this journey.

Erik and I had a wonderful time with Southgate during the three months we spent with them.. they made us feel like such a big part of the family. We praise God for blessing our lives with so many there in San Angelo, and with such a great church home. We have such great memories from our time in San Angelo and we've made some great friendships. The picture of Erik is with Steve Stanley on their last day together. Steve took Erik hunting the day before we flew out. It was a great experience for them both. Erik had never been hunting before but he was able to shoot his first turkey. I must admit that I was pretty impressed. The best part was that they had such a great time their last day together.

Erik and I are currently in LA and spending a week with family. His mom and sister also flew up from Mexico to say spend a few days with us before we fly to Bolivia. God has blessed us with such a great family. On the 14th we will leave for Sucre and arrive the morning of the 15th. Thank you for praying for us as a family and also for the team as we are going through these transitions.

Erik,

I must say I'm impressed with the Bird as well. I guess you didn't take any Turkey legs with you to CA...Leave the camo in the US -they'll think you're with the DEA down here. We're looking forward to you being here, and we're praying for your travels.
