Life Goes On

Hello again from Adam:

I have been doing my best to get Carissa into World Cup fever.  I don't think it worked much, but I'll start working on Russia 2018 now!  I'm still recovering from yesterday's loss like the rest of the US, but I'll get over it.

Meanwhile, thanks to the generosity of some people at FUMCBA, we get to have our dishwasher replaced sooner than expected!  Ours has been out of order for a few weeks, which is a much bigger deal when we're handwashing dishes for the whole family instead of just me.  This is a perfect example of the things we can only accomplish through a fully funded ministry.  A big thanks to the folks that helped out with that.

We continue to work on the fundraising effort, which finally got underway over the weekend.  Continued prayers for courage while we try to raise 1/3 of Carissa's salary would be helpful.  For an update on where we're at on the annual goal, or to donate, visit http://www.prayingpelicanmissions.org/donate#support and find Carissa's name in the dropdown box!

Also, we finally get to get away as a family.  Carissa, Ella and I will join my family in Colorado next week for a little R&R before Carissa returns to the missions field for the following three weeks.  We're looking forward to some quality time before she heads off for her longest time span of the year.  On the bright side, we'll be with her for the middle week!

Thanks for reading.  God bless!
