Just bloggin' . . .

Not a lot of new things are happening with us, thank God! I'm not sure I want any new activities as I can hardly keep up with the regular ones. As I have said, (I think) in an earlier blog, Dafne and Noel are attending Bible School in Independence. The logistics of just getting them there and getting them home keep us all hopping and certainly makes for family team work! They are doing well, as far as I know. Dafne is keeping very busy with deputation services, singing in the girls' trio and choir. I haven't been priveledged to hear them yet, but I hear they sound good together, so that is good. I have prayed that God would help Dafne to use her musical talent to His glory and I'm glad she is. Noel is jogging along--you know how it is in middle school/junior high; not quite old enough to do some things, but way too old for other things! He is having a little harder time getting used to IBS because in his old school they were already changing classrooms and teachers for every class and he misses that. He also misses football. There is just no way to have him be involved in a league some where and make all the practices and games with them going 60 miles away to school. Mandie and Bruce are continuing with wedding plans and having so much fun! We are eagerly anticipating Scott, Bianca and Wyatt moving back to Oklahoma. It seems like a dream and I guess I haven't let myself get too excited because I just can't believe that we will be within driving distance of that sweet little man (Wyatt, not Scott! Just joking, Scott!) It will be wonderful to share Sunday lunch sometimes and just be closer.
I have a prayer request to share with everyone. The Rio Grande has flooded in Presidio, TX and Ojinaga, Chih, Mexico, effecting the area that we have worked in. Some of the houses in Ojinaga are submerged with flood water and I know that there is great need. Please pray for them and also for us that we will find an open door to be able to help. Manuel would love to take some supplies down to those who are in need and I would love to go with him. It would take a lot of finances as well as my boss "volunteering" my time, but God is able. Please pray with us to that end, as God leads.
Well, maybe I will have some more pictures soon.
Hasta luego!

Thanks for your comment. Not everyone understands how we feel ;)
I will enjoy your blog. I hope that you get to help those in Mexico. I would enjoy that.
