Blasts From the Past

Weekend Update

This weekend, Jeremy traveled alone as Tricia & Jake enjoyed a much needed break from the travel schedule. Jeremy returned to Indiana, where he spoke on Sunday morning at Lebanon Church of the Nazarene. Although that church was going through some tough issues in the lives of many in that congregation, it was great to share a time of testimony with them during the service.

Also, this weekend was Jeremy’s 10 year high school reunion, so he got the chance to reconnect with a lot of old friends and to see what they were up to. Everybody seemed to be doing fairly well, and it somehow just didn't seem like ten whole years had gone by after talking to some of them. Jeremy was glad to reestablish communication with his classmates and hopefully keep up that contact this time around!

Daily Life

We're gearing up for Reading and Research week here in our seminary classes, which means a week off of class, but no real break from schoolwork. It does, however, give us a chance to travel for some deputation services, and we'll have six services within an eight day period and across Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska. Also during that time, we will be back in KC to meet up with some other missionary friends of ours, Scott & Emily Armstrong, who are missionaries in Guatemala. They have a son that is six days older than Jake, so those two should have fun!

Praises and Prayer Requests

We praise God for health! Everyone is doing relatively well right now, it seems like nothing more than the seasonal allergies. We are also thankful that God is giving us time to complete some of our routine tasks now (like renewing our passports, getting our will put together, etc.). We've not had time for a lot of things lately, so it feels good to cross some things off our list!

Please remember us in your prayers for the following:

- Traveling mercies as we do a lot of driving this week
- For the Lord's presence in our deputation services
- Jeremy's midterm exam (in business school) coming up this week
- Continued health as the hectic travel schedule continues

Thanks for your prayers and we'll tell you all about our trip when we return!

Until next time,

Jeremy, Tricia, & Jake
