Driving to Arizona


Hi Friends,


Last weekend we left New Hampshire (Bob, Robin, Melody & Bethany). We had decided to drive to Arizona and so far it has been a great trip. Our friends the Camillieri's followed us to Washington DC and we spent a few days there with all our kids seeing the sights. We spent two days in DC itself and got a good glimpse of the museums, memorials, government buildings, etc. So much to see and learn.

Now we are in Tennessee. We spent yesterday saying goodbye to our friends and former co-workers at AMG's central office in Chattanooga. We spent the afternoon and evening with the Ragan family and enjoyed catching up and visiting. Today we will move just a short distance south to Georgia and will spend the day tomorrow worshiping and sharing at Poplar Springs Baptist Church.

States so far? New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, DC, Tennessee...and Georgia later today.

We appreciate your prayers for our travels. Monday we leave for Arkansas where we'll spend a few days with our friends and former co-workers in Guatemala, the Hodges family. We haven't seen them in a year so we're looking forward to this time.

Please pray for a team from Mission ONE. Bob and Linda Schindler, Todd Robertson and Charley Green arrived in Africa yesterday and will be traveling to see various Mission ONE partners over the next 10 days. They are in Kenya today, the first African country that Bob Schindler ever visited. God initially used Bob's first trip to Kenya to burden him to provide help to national pastors...this is how Mission ONE was birthed. Bob S will be preaching in Kenya tomorrow, please pray for him and the team as they share and encourage national leaders and workers.

Enjoy your weekend!
