Flights and Friends

Hey, Arizona friends! Do you want to go on a helicopter flight? You can soon! Details at the bottom of this blog. :-)

Since we saw you last...
​
We had Toby was retested for the nut allergy he had as a toddler and we are thrilled to say that Toby outgrew his nut allergy!! Now we can being the process of testing each nut for any eczema reaction. This is especially important to us as we'll have much less control over when he has contact with nuts once we move overseas. Praise God with us for this huge answer to prayer!

​Another big event - Logan's first haircut! Trust me, getting Jacklyn to finally agree to do this makes it a BIG deal.

​The main event since you last heard from us - a trip up north! And wow, what a trip! We just returned back to Arizona after this 23 day trip back "home" to Spokane, WA.

It had been over 2 years since the boys had been on an airline and they were THRILLED!

​Averaging about three events on the calendar each day, we might have packed things a little full. ;-) But what an encouragement to be back at Faith Bible Church, to spend time catching up with old friends, and to meet new friends as we presented about the ministry God has us in at seven different bible study groups! Please pray that God would continue to work in the hearts of those we shared with as they consider partnering with us in church planting through prayer and finances.

So much time with so many wonderful friends. Here, Frankie and Logan are learning the game Battleship.

The boys loved their time in Spokane seeing all their Washington friends. Thank God with us that He provides friends in our lives who withstand the test of time.

Presenting to groups about missions used to be nerve-wracking and intimidating. But, as God has worked in our hearts and minds, it has grown to be a joy that we look forward to doing. It is a profound privilege to be used by God - to collectively lift our gaze up out of our daily routines and think again on His plans for us and His plan for the world which He set in motion thousands of years ago. It's a reality we so easily lose sight of.


With that in mind, we recently decided to share some of our FAVORITE missionary videos with you all. We've put together a list - go ahead and peruse it, pick one (or a lot!) out, and enjoy! We are praying that you'll find this to be a wonderful resource and encouragement.

All right, Arizona friends - want to go up for a ride? Well Frank would love to take you up! And if you're in the Phoenix area, you're in luck! Frank will have the helicopter up in Chandler from October 27th - November 7th. The purpose of the trip is to build experience flying the helicopter when it is filled with passengers. So we need you! If you're interested in a flight, you must let us know soon so we can schedule you in!

And for everyone else who is bummed that you're missing out - here's an open invitation to come and visit us in McNeal, Arizona. We have a wonderful guest house you can stay in, it's a beautiful area, and we'll take you for a personal tour in the helicopter!

We're looking forward to hearing from you soon!
