Light of the Valley Church is growing and we are finding our places. Todd looks forward to men's fellowship on Fridays after a week of 24/7 with women in his world. The ladies fellowship enjoyed a night out here at the camp and began a study "When women say Yes to God" please pray for God to grow us and both of these groups.
We are also blessed to have a church family in Pomona who love us well and Laura enjoys going to both churches weekly.
Todd and I enjoy our time with LOV teachers weekly in devotion time at lunch. They are some of the most precious friends we have who are in very difficult circumstances rightnow. We love serving the children there, where we first fell in love with Belize!
Laura has made the decision to go to Troy in the Fall, bringing the most bittersweet emotions of excitement mixed with sadness for us. We will manage the separation, planning the next reunion! I'm trusting the Lord to have the Internet fully functional by then, so a Skype or FaceTime can happen, but we've learned to be content thus far;) I'm pretty sure it doesn't fall into the "need" category for survival, I'm just praying for a sweet present;)
Ever changing is the best way to describe life, Jesus is full of adventure and following Him is never dull! God has provided friends, Christian family and ministry opportunities we couldn't have planned and His plans are always far better than ours! All in all a good year. We are humble and grateful to be here. I am reminded this morning, listening to birds I'd never heard a year ago, it is a miracle to call this place in the jungle on the river "home". Who would have believed our children would be in three different countries, if you'd asked us 5 years ago? ...not me!
This thing called obedience is the absolute hardest and best, laughter through tears kind of existence and we are hanging on for dear life at times and resting in Him always.
Please Pray for:
