Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Isaiah 30:21

Where do I begin? Today has been busy. Among other things, Maggie and Jacob left for Brazil. As I write, they are in the air, between Miami, and Manaus. I must say, I have mixed emotions. I am so happy that they are going. What an opportunity for them both. They will be ministering in different villages on the Amazon River, and then in Santarem, where Amanda and Jan and Scotty are. They will spend 2 days in Obidos, our "home." How exciting and wonderful. I also feel a loss. I wish it were our family making our move. I wish I could be with Maggie as she returns after 4 years. I wish I could be with Jacob on his first flight, boat trip, visit to a foreign country, mission trip, etc. I wish I could hug our friends in Obidos.

Emily drove them to the airport this morning. Don was here with Treyton, Renan and Curt. I had to be at the church early to go for our training for our Mexico trip. I sat in a really big chair. : ) (1st picture) We unloaded cinder blocks, mixed mortar (2nd picture)and practiced building a wall (3rd picture). When we go (Jacob, Maggie and I, July 5-12) we will build 2 houses, roof a church, do 3 days of VBS, door to door evangelism, and take medical supplies to a clinic. I'm so excited to go. I will get to interpret also. If you would like to "buy a block" (help with construction supplies) please contact me.

June 29 through July 5 we will be helping with a mission camp. Several local churches have planned it. Youth will be staying a Crown of Thorns camp and traveling to Indy every day to do VBS at one shelter, and serve meals at another. When we return in the evening, we will get to hear missionaries from all over the world speak, and there will be bands playing later. The cost is only $25! If you have a middle school/high school student who would like to attend, or would like to help in some way, contact me soon.

On July 19th we will be helping Harmony Baptist do a 1 day VBS sports camp. It will be from 10am-3pm, with lunch served. If you have a student, 1st-5th grade who would like to attend, or are interested in helping, again contact me.

We are going to be working with Truth Project, and Faith Family Ministries mission team in July and August on some more events. We will keep you informed!!!

It's exciting the doors God is opening for us. He isn't done with us just because we aren't in Brazil. That is good to know!!
