We’ve made it to our 4th state and it’s all going well, but not without lack of sleep and catching colds. Please pray for our colds and i may have an ear infection. ugh!

We’re excited about what God is doing and He’s all over this trip! It’s wonderful and amazing!!! We do need monthly support to continue the calling God’s given us. If you are led by God to do so, then support as you are led at www.tinyurl.com/Donate2SHP

I just wanted to pop in and update ya’ll (we’re in TN right now and my countryness is coming back). Oh my throat is sore and my ear hurts… we’ll see what we need to do, go to pharmacy or a clinic? UGH!

Love to you and yours….


We made it

October 20, 2008

We are in the USA! It’s so clean and pretty here. The highways are smooth and clean and free of cows tied to the side of the road eating whatever they can. It is amazing to see people actually moved over for emergency vehicles. It’s good to be ‘home’. Of course when we go back, i will say the same.

We have done two churches and two services each already with one more church to go here in our third day! We’re tired for sure. My brother and his wife are AWESOME hosts! My in-laws were a treat to see as well.

ok I need to go! so much to do!


Trip Prep and Prayers…

October 6, 2008

Hello… so what are we up to? We’re cleaning the house real good.. one, it needs it and two, i like to come back from a trip with the house in decent order… heehee. With this we’re cleaning so much. Today, my husband took the kids car seats out of the car and I cleaned them! How long have those raisins been there? UGH! The seat covers are ALL perty now and I even re-checked the belt adjustments. For both kids the seats were getting too tight so I knew we needed to adjust them to their growing size! YEAH! I dont know about you but I like getting these things off my check list.

I am starting to think about packing, like the weather in all the places we’re going and how to pack minimally gong up! I am making sure I have all the Time/Date/Places all figured out before we go. What are we doing where and what do we need etc? It’s best to do as much as I can before we go so when we go, we just fall in place. Oh if it were a perfect world! But I make sure we’ve left room for changes and traffic and weather! Things out of our control and we KNOW it will happen. I believe God challenges us to truely reveal our walk with HIM! I love it (God’s ways, not being challenged)! Because it surely challenges me and in most cases I say, “you;’re right God, when he says ‘LET IT GO!” heeheee

I have prayer requests I am emailing but realized it may be easiest to post here:

I trust you and your prayer teams will pray as you are led to do so, and any prayers are GREATLY appreciated!

  • We have items in the storage unit to sell (table, chairs, 1966 malibu parts, wet/dry vac, ladder, etc)
  • We need a projector to use during our travels in the states for our presentation , it can be returned to the owner after we leave Nov 7. Although we’ve been praying for one to use here in the field to show the Jesus film and other evangelical videos
  • We need to buy tickets to return next year – so we’d need $800 for the four of us to come to the states in 2009 to keep our passports current and legal.
  • We need to pay for luggage & pre-assigned seats to COME to the US or to RETURN to GUA on Spirit Air.
  • Eight bags is what we need round trip for a total is $190
  • They now charge for seat reservations *sigh* For the trips up and back, the total is $60
  • We need to raise gas money for our tour. We have estimated $500 for gas total.
  • Above all… just PRAYER… we cannot be here or there without it!!! In addition, please pray for our preparation, the print materials, the presentation, the limited packing and our home here while we’re gone, the ability to pay rent before we leave, pray for our travels (security with kids, carry ons and car seats), for use to bathe in GOD and give HIM the GLORY in it all!Again, Thank you!
