Pressing On...

Wow, we are really moving at warp speed now! The weeks have been flying by. Everything we are learning is very good, I just hope that some of it is sticking in our heads! We are trying to learn all of the "pre-field" things that they are trying to teach us while also trying to do some research on South Africa. We have gotten creative with this however, and have been trying to find movies that give us a good picture of South African history. This last weekend, we rented "The Power of One", which was an excellent movie. I highly recommend it. It really shows how difficult the past was in South Africa, and the effects of that time are still somewhat present today.

Anyway, we are doing well, getting ready to start seminary classes in a couple of weeks. While we won't be in class as much, we will probably be busier than we are now, if that's possible. We start traveling on Sept. 11th and pretty much every weekend from then until December 11th we will be doing services. But even though we are very tired, God is really keeping our spirits up and giving us just enough strength to get things done and keep going. We are having so much fun and are really enjoying our new lifestyle!

Thank you for your continued prayer support, it is so important to us. If you would like to pray for specific needs that we have right now, we have the following needs:

- Strength to keep up with the schedule and preparations we are making
- Safe travels during our deputation trips
- That our deputation schedule continues to fill up
- That God would continue to prepare our hearts and minds for deployment

We praise God for what he's doing in our lives and each one of yours as well. We also thank him for such a great group of family and friends that mean so much to us. God bless you all!
