First Longview, Then Mexico

We've recently moved back to Longview again and here's what's going on with us right now.
  • I'm interning with Alpine Church of Christ for the next three months. I'm teaching classes, researching curriculum, planning small group events, working on Missions Policies, finishing up our workshops through Missions Resource Network, and working on finishing our fund-raising.
  • We are staying with My grandmother, Jeanne Pace, and you can still reach me at my old cell number.
  • Kristina is very busy with our three kids, packing/unpacking, cooking for 6, and is still experiencing occasional pain/nausea related to her previous gallbladder surgery.
  • Noah is beginning soccer. We're taking him to his first practice today. He is so excited and can't wait to race me while he's wearing his "super fast" cleats.
  • Juliana is talking up a storm. She loves everything pink, and especially all the winter Olympians' pink garb. Her favorite food right now is a bagel with strawberry (pink) cream cheese.
  • Isaiah is between crawling and walking. He can stand up unassisted for a short time and is still so full of joy. He's been sick this last week with double ear infections, very high fever, and congestion. I'm happy to report that his fever has come down, and he is smiling again. :)
  • We are planning to leave for Cuernavaca, Mexico at the end of May/beginning of June for the beginning of a six-year commitment to work for the Lord in Mexico.
If you'd like to know how to pray for us right now, please pray that we will be able to raise the necessary monthly support for us to stay on the field, for strength during this time of transition and change, health and rest for all of us, and for wisdom in our many important decisions ahead.

God bless you all,

Jeff
