The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever. Psalm 121:8

Dear Prayer Partner,
We have arrived at our home in PA, and are settled in now. The Lord has indeed guarded our going out and coming in. Please visit our website for new pictures from our trip. Also, please note our NEW ADDRESS & TELEPHONE below.

We praise the Lord for His goodness and grace in our lives. We saw it in many ways over the last month:
- 6,000 safe miles traveled - the kids did great in hanging in there over the miles and the many visits
- Encouraging visits with family, friends, and supporters from Phoenix, AZ; Dallas, TX; Tahlequah, Ok; Cedar Lake, IN; Rochester, IN; Chicago, IL; Marlette, MI; Ionia, MI area; and finally arriving safe and sound in Elizabethtown, PA
- Good family vacation time as we did some special things together, including seeing the Meramec Caverns in Missouri, Chuckie Cheeses, feeding Canadian geese, picking 10 lbs. of blueberries, and swimming in Lake Michigan, among other things
- We were able to get over $1,100 of all kinds of supplies at International Aid in MI for just over $100. What a blessing this organization is to missionaries!
- A great and encouraging visit and speaking engagement at South Boston Bible Church in Lowell, MI.
- Our vehicle did great! It didn't give us even a hint of problems (besides replacing two tires) until we were in our driveway in PA, and were all unpacked. Then it wouldn't start again. It was only our battery that needed to be changed, and our new friends and landlords, Jeff & Rose Aungst, were very gracious in helping us get the van going again.
- Our rented farm house here was totally furnished and the cupboards stocked for us by our church, Calvary Bible Church of Mount Joy, PA
- Kendra and Tara are all registered and ready for school

Please pray for our continued transition to life here, and that we would meet all our goals for this time of home assignment.
Please pray for the New Birth Bible Church that we left back in Querétaro, that God would give them great unity and growth in this year while we are away.

Thank you for your prayers for us. We are looking forward to seeing and catching up with many of our friends and supporters during the next year or so.

In the Lord's Hands,
Bryan, Lori, Kendra, Tara, & Ben
