On the move!

We have been amazed at how the Lord is working in our lives and affirming our call to Madagascar.  We are now at 61% of our monthly minimum needed to go to Diego Suarez Madagascar to live and minister among several different people groups.  We recently took an extended trip to South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia to meet and share with many people individually, in small groups, and in church services.  It was a great trip and and is so exciting to see people from all over the country being led to be a part of the ministry the Lord has led us to for His glory.  We ask that you continue to pray or begin praying for our support to reach 100% by December. We have more trips being scheduled and some exciting fundraisers in the works that will involve many people coming together to pray for the people of Madagascar and support us financially.  We have so much to do before we are ready to go but we are constantly marking things off our list.

Missionary Moment: some days i go into town and it is a heinous struggle to accomplish simple tasks. it feels like and sometimes is that every single person i speak to is aggressive, offensive or just plain rude. But then other days...like today...i go to town and my french is working and my limited malagasy is also working and people are friendly and enjoyable to practice language with and i get a new tidbit of personal information in the super slow relationships i am cultivating. and my taxi drivers don't hit on me, laugh at me or drive like madmen on drugs. AND THERE WERE CRACKERS in the store! I have pined away for saltine crackers and also cheddar cheese. AND BOTH HAVE ARRIVED IN DIEGO in the last 4 days! i nearly passed out....in the isle. They must think Americans are very strange or at least me...i have hugged a pack of crackers today, done a happy dance over flour tortillas last month, looked like a hoarder when American bbq sauce arrived, and gasped in thunderous praise ...
