Runnin' with it

Well, I just got home about an hour ago and it was a good meeting. All decisions have been made and now we just have to buy certain craft supplies and we are a "go". I won't give away the fun details of what we are doing (crafts, songs, etc) until after we get back so we can show the pictures. Joanie and I only have one shirt that we need to do so we hope to get together before I go back to (my) home Wednesday to do that. We have still lots to do as is always the case until the day we actually leave haha. But with Bryce and Kaity coming this year and the knowledge we have from last year, things are not quite as daunting or stressful.
We would like to thank everyone who has helped via prayers and donations. We are so excited for this opportunity to arise again this year and people's continuing love for the Lord, for us, and for the S.Sudanese. This year we are taking on an extra chore of collecting eye glasses to distribute to the people there. If you have any that you no longer use/need and would like to get rid of.....We are the people to give them to! We have about 10 pairs right now. We have no set number as we are going to cram them in every nook and cranny that we can find in our suit cases. So give us what ya got and we will get them there. We will take reading, bifocals, regular...whatever!! We want them.
Also, some specific things we would like prayed for....
-all the luggage w/ VBS in it gets there
-no one gets sick/hurt
-safe travels
-we teach as many as we possibly can plus more with the Lord's help and guidance
-the men in the preaching school/women in Bible school
-David who is going to Ethiopia tomorrow (May 18) so he can go preach in the refugee camp I told you about yesterday

We know God will bless the work this year as He did last year and can't wait to see what He has in store. Again, please keep us and those we will come in contact with in your prayers. They are greatly needed and greatly appreciated. God bless you!

1 Chronicles 29:11-13

P.S.
Sunday, May 25 I will be giving a talk at 6 P.M. at Brazos Valley Church of Christ in College Station about last year's trip and this year's if you would like/are able to come. :) Finger foods/sandwiches will be served so all you gotta bring is yourself!
