Coming Back

We've almost taken a full month off of blogging...sorry for the lack of updates.  March has been a whirlwind, though.  We were able to return home for 2 weeks for my brother's wedding in Colorado, and made it to Jackson, Atlanta, and South Georgia as well.  We didn't really publicize our homecoming much so that we could spend some much needed time with family.  Our families were so patient and understanding during seminary and support-raising, but we needed to spend this time with them, not running around from church to church and city to city. 

A few updates on things to pray about:
- We may have as many as 8 interns for this summer, and it looks like we will definitely have 4.  Pray for them as they raise their support to come and join us for two very busy months.
- We are trying to raise $2000 for our big summer retreat...and we already have $200!  Retreats are such a great way to deepen relationships and to connect our long-term and national workers to Thais in our community.  Let me know if you are interested in donating to this one-time need.
- Language study...continue to pray for us in this area.  We are both progressing well, but I will change to private tutoring starting in April so that I can be at the office to provide more leadership to our staff.  Kiki will continue to go to the language school that we have been attending.
