Glad to be home.

We thank God for getting us safely home and back into the normal routine of things. As we reflect on the goodness of his love and provision from this summer we are humbled to know that he takes care of his children and we do not need to worry about anything.


We stayed at Natasha's brothers house in Kentucky for a week to wait out the hurricane and also for some clean-up to happen. After that, we started our final trek, with a stop in South Carolina for the night and home afterwards. As we entered into Florida it was amazing to see the destruction of a natural disaster. People were still frantic, we stopped to get food at Walmart 2 hours away from the house, being advised to do so, and also we waited about 30 minutes in line to get gas at a gas station. As we were pulling up I noticed and mentioned to Jonatan, "this person in front of us only filled up $8."

Jonatan started talking and it hit me hard. This country has never really, REALLY, gone through a chaotic situation or horrible natural disaster. When there is a hard time people go crazy, only caring about themselves, getting every penny, every gallon of water, food supply and not leaving anything for anyone else. It is sad. When a true chaotic situation occurs, like the second coming, people will be a mess! We need to remember who to keep our eyes on, this verse comes to mind.

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

On a more personal note, the baby is due in 6 weeks! We cannot wait and are so thankful for God's provision for so many things, very unexpected surprises. Some people have asked about a gift registry, Natasha has made one with Target, if you feel lead to do so.

We want to be the most transparent as possible about our missionary endeavours, always. Please continue praying for us and specifically making connections. The faster we get to 100% we get to leave for the field, we are currently around 20% supported.


Prayer Request:
Please keep us in your prayers, we will be traveling to another city in Florida this coming weekend and are visiting with people and churches. We ask that God gives us clarity for sharing the vision and that people would be interested in supporting us.
