Away We Go!

This summer is our scheduled furlough time to go home and visit our partnering congregation in Louisville, Kentucky (the Westport Road Church of Christ). We had been planning to go in late summer but due to the unexpected arrival of Piersen's passport earlier than we had anticipated....and a number of other factors, we quickly changed plans and rescheduled our travel plans to begin now. Benjy is currently in Abilene, TX taking a short course in his Master's work. Me and the boys are with our very good friends in Tulsa,Oklahoma - Scott and Melissa Smith. Our departure from Mexico was fast and furious as it was a last minute change in the plan....but we are thankful for safe travel on the roads and for good, hospitable friends to take me and the boys in for a week!

The plan from here is to leave for Canada sometime next week to visit my family! It will be a long drive but our boys are really quite good travellers and we are thankful for that! We will fly on to Louisville in mid-June and spend several weeks with them. We will vsit Benjy's Mom in DC and then begin the journey back to Texas to see more of Benjy's family on our way back to Mexico.

In all of this crazy travelling, we would love the chance to see you! Contact us for more details and hopefully something can be worked out. Please pray for our many hours on roads and in planes....for the flexibility of our sweet kids, and for great time with important people in our lives and for rest and renewal for our family.

Stu,

Benjy will be leaving Abilene tomorrow (Friday) - I will make sure he sees you wrote...maybe we can find a spot to meet on our way back through Texas.

Enjoy your well-earned holiday time. I'm jealous of you getting to spend time with Melissa and Scott, it's been way too long since I saw them last.

Oh, wow, I had no idea y'all are partnered with Westport Road! I haven't been there in years, but I used to do Bible camp with their youth every summer. They are such great people!

Enjoy your travels, we will certainly be praying for you.

Hi Care,
Hope your trip is going well and is safe. I wanted to tell you to go see pictures on my blog. Also I planted a seed today in Paul's head that maybe we could go to Mexico for Thanksgiving this year! We'll see what the verdict is.
