May is ending...summer is here!

We have returned to Belize! It is home. Kidzkonnect teams will begin arrinving on June 7th. We are excited,a little nervous and humbled to serve with teams this summer in new roles. Schools are out the last week of June here, so we will minister at Light of the Valley a few more weeks. It will be so sweet to see their faces again!
Please pray for us as we retreat with KK4J leadership team June 1-2 to pray and plan for our next steps of obedience in ministry. Godly wisdom is our desire, the ministry opportunities are myriad. Pray we correctly discern the direction God has planned for us.
Our first trip back to the states left a lot of friends unvisited, time was flying by and full. I am sure we will learn to do better! And I'm sorry we couldn't  "do it all":(
 Pray for the family we left in Alabama. Michael and Amy are doing great and it looks like they will remain in Birmingham for now. We are so happy for their new life together, and Amy has melded into our family as a daughter. Steven graduated Troy and will work at our church in Alabaster, Westwood part time for now. He is living in our house until it sells...another prayer area needed. 
Thank you is insufficient for those who helped in this transition phase... cleaned, packed, cried and prayed with us. Prayers of our family and friends the night before we left are ringing in our ears...may we love each other well in this unsettledness and share the gospel to the glory and praise of God. 

Pray for
Todd's truck, Steven's truck and the house to sell
Leadership retreat 

Much love,
Todd, Shirley, Laura
