Home again

Just a quick note to thank you for your prayers and let you know we made it safe and sound back home to Queretaro a little while ago. We had a very smooth border crossing and no problems on the road. Our new puppy did really well traveling. The kids did good too - they enjoyed the trip, but are also really glad to be home again. We found everything in good order here at home.

Thanks again for your prayers!
Bryan, for all of us

Greetings from Laredo, TX! As promised, here are a few recent pictures from our trip this summer. The most recent highlight: a new addition to our family - Tanner Eugene, a Jack Russell. See the pictures here: http://picasaweb.google.com/bryanandlori/USTripSummer2010?feat=directlink

US Trip - Summer 2010
Please be in prayer for us as we cross the border tomorrow (Monday) morning, and as we get settled back into our normal routine in the coming days.


Thanks!

Smith Prayer & Praise - August 2010

Thanks so much for your prayers for us. Here are a couple of recent praises and prayer requests:

- We praise God for the safety He has given to us in our travels. We are making our way back South now, and plan to be back home in Mexico by August 23. Please continue to pray for our safety in our travels, especially on August 23 as we cross the border and travel in Mexico. We plan to caravan with a fellow missionary from Mexico.
- We praise God for a great time of seeing family, friends, supporters, and supporting churches. It has been a whirlwind trip, but very good and refreshing as well.
- Please pray that God would continue to provide what is needed for the Square Meters property project. We had many good opportunities during our trip to share our vision for the church/community center property, and we are trusting God to provide for it in His timing.
- Please pray for us as we get back to Mexico and get back into life and ministry there next week, including Lori starting the new homeschooling year with our children. We are looking forward to all that God will do in our lives and the lives that He continues to bring into our path.

We'll post some pictures to our website soon and let you know when we do.

Thanks again for your faithful prayers!
Bryan, for Lori and the kids
