This has been a very eventful summer so far.  We have been busy with baseball, swimming, the occasional emergency room visits, visiting with friends and so forth.  It has been a good break from homeschool and Ruthe is starting to get ready to begin school in August.  Julianna can’t wait to be in kindergarden! 

But we have also enjoyed making several new  friendships lately!   The Lord has brought many new people into our lives that just simply can not be random.  Rich has started going to a weekly Bible study after being invited by a couple who we met at our garage sale.   At the Bible study, Rich met several men who are completely on fire for the Lord and left very encouraged!  

We have had a bit of an adventure with our newest family additions, our 4 bunnies.  Goldilocks is a good mother, but her babies are eager to escape their cage and one of them does almost every night.  Ruthe and I then get to hunt for it in the yard in the morning.  Well, the other day we had one run off and we were not able to find it.  The kids were so upset and worried about “rascal”.  A day later we still had not found him, even after looking in the neighbors yards.  I was about to put together a lost bunny poster, but tonight our little lost rabbit came hopping home!  Jules and Seth are the heroes now since they spotted him in the back  yard trying to get back into his cage.  I guess he missed his yummy alfalfa and his water bowl.

We are thankful for all of your prayers as we are working towards going to Papua New Guinea.   We are grateful that a church that Rich has childhood ties to has chosen to partner with us;  bringing our support level to 25%.   We have several prospective churches in our area that we are hoping to be able to share with soon.  We are really praying for our support to reach a level that will enable us to leave this year for Waxhaw, NC, where Rich will have his helicopter orientation course and we will both take the Cross Cultural Communications course.  Please join us in praying for that!

Rich and Ruthe and family
