Ummm...WOW!

It's really been since November 5th that I last posted on the blog? Really? What? Where has the last month gone?

Things like "presentations" have kept us busy the last several weeks with our last church presentation coming up on Dec. 18th to our home. We now have flight confirmations to return to Costa Rica on January 1, 2012. About two weeks after we return to Costa Rica we will be hosting a 35-person team from the States and Canada who will have a three-fold, two-week ministry of construction at the camp finishing the new cabin; medical/dental clinics in rural, low-income areas with simultaneous children's ministry. We've been working diligently at home here in the States doing what logistical work we can to prepare for the team, but all good, fun things must come to an end! When we return we will plan the menu for the two weeks, finalize the driver's, interpreters and other volunteers that we will use with the team, order construction supplies and get those delivered to the camp for the construction team, and make beds for the team's arrival, just to name a few things on the "to do" list.

We appreciate your continued prayers as we finish our furlough here with our families before returning to Costa Rica, Christmas Eve with our kids in our home here in N.C.; Christmas Day with Ken's Mom in her home with an early afternoon departure on Christmas Day to Atlanta, Ga. to visit Ken's sister and put down her Christmas present from her husband - a new tile, kitchen floor. We return to N.C. on Dec. 28 if all goes well to pack up our things here for our return!

Hopefully, I'll get to post more before we leave! Thanks for reading and for praying!
