We Ask for Your Prayers

In May, just before we left for the states, we announced to the church that this school year will be our last year in Guayaquil. We'll be leaving in June 2012. Please pray for a pastor to be raised up for the church in Guayaquil and for us to know God's will for our future.

Last but not Least

We finished up our 6-state stateside tour in Maine. First Mike spoke at Pastor Waterhouse's church and then he spoke at Pastor Sheff's church on a missions weekend they were having. Jim Seaver also spoke about his trips to Cuba and Quito as well as Pastor Cannon who spoke about Haiti and Debbie Colby who spoke about Thailand. The Sheff's graciously loaned us a van for the New England portion of our trip and we greatly appreciate it.

Heading home. This is the challenging part. Fitting all my books in the suitcases. It's a good thing that Mike is a GREAT packer.

Family Reunion

The highlight of this trip was our family reunion with Mike's family. Here's a shot of Mike's immediate family.

The Vermonters Welcomed Us

As usual, we visited Pastor Harold Noyes church in Vermont, and it was twice the blessing that it usually is as we got to visit with Mike's Mom & Dad at the same time as Dad is working with Harold in the church now. We are so grateful for the support we receive--both financial support and prayer support--from this church as well as the friendship we have with Harold & Patti.

We LOVE Those Quaker Staters!

From fellowship on the golf course, to time with the former Karen Sawtelle, who was a missionary to Guayaquil with her husband in the 1990's, we had a great time with our Pennsylvania friends!

Mike shared at Pastor Ray's church and with the youth group guys and Sue was able to share with the gals at a meeting held at Shane & Becky's house. We're already planning toward next year's visit from the Pennsylvanians.
