Greetings from Kerrville, Texas

Howdy!  Greetings from the beautiful Hill Country of Texas.  I'm sure many of you are wondering what we are doing in Texas.  Todd and I are currently attending orientation for CTEN, our missionary sending organization.  I cannot begin to explain what a blessing these past few days have been. 

I am not going to lie.  It has been exhausting.  So much information is entering our brains that it is hard to process it all.  All I can say is praise God for notes and handouts!  I've found it particularly challenging to stay seated and pay attention for long periods of time.  Suddenly, I can understand my students' struggles.  I guess it's been a while since I've had to truly pay attention in a class.  It's also been a blessing to get to know our missionary organization.  It is made up of such a neat group of people.  They truly love and care for us even though they barely know us!  This gives us such peace of mind to know we will be supported as we head to serve in Romania.

We want to thank all of you for all your prayers and support and just ask that you continue to pray for grace as we begin this transition and also for financial blessings as we continue to raise our support.
