It has been an awfully long time since I've blogged. I've tried to keep everyone updated through letters and emails, but blogging seems to have fallen by the wayside through our time in the States and pregnancy. I am only 3 days away from my due date! This really has been such a wonderful pregnancy. I've had very few aches and pains and have stayed active and healthy. I pray (and ask that you do along with me) that the labor and delivery go just as smoothly. We eagerly await the arrival of this special little one that God has blessed us with!
We are still diligently working on our financial support raising efforts. We trust that God has great plans for us upon our return to Costa Rica and need many new people to assist us in our ministry through their giving. We really do see each supporter as a part of our ministry. Many people love missions but are unable to go. Others go but still like to support. By being a part of our financial ministry team, you are a part of reaching others for Christ. We cannot do the work we do without you. So, please pray about how you might be able to be involved in missions through giving. We would love to have you on board!
Besides raising support, we are also having a wonderful time visiting with family and friends. It has been 5 1/2 years since we've spent a significant amount of time in the States (4 months). The time we've had to renew relationships and love on those who pour out so much love on us has been incredible. My immediate family has been an amazing support through this pregnancy, and I know will be taking on even more in the few months we still have here.
Please continue to pray for us, especially in the following ways:
* Pray for a smooth and safe delivery for our baby (and me!)
* Pray for my family as they are making many adjustments to having us here, the new baby and all of my four grandparents living with them.
* Pray for our support raising efforts, that God would touch the hearts of those who are to be a part of our financial ministry team.
* Pray for our ministry in Costa Rica, as we begin to prepare for what is waiting for us upon our return.
