back in MS

We are back in MS, residing in Brandon now, and our children are at Northwest Rankin schools, go Cougars??? strange coming from a Pearl Pirate.. All is well, we are just anxious to get our new routines down, and I am anxious to get back on the road, traveling and speaking again, telling the stories we have about Peru and trusting that God supplies the increase we need. Lulu, who had lost two of her front teeth several months ago in a fall, has officially lost the remaining tooth, too many bumps and bangs, so I put it out of its misery a few day ago. She will be toothless until her adult teeth grow in. Caleb is playing 9th grade football, liking it so far, and Jacob is enduring. Rebekah and Zachary seem to like their classes and teachers. We still plan to leave early January for Peru, so please pray our finances improve and our faith remains strong. btw, we are loving our new house, thanks Pinelake Church!

We have enjoyed being back in Pearl, where Susan and Dale grew up. And we want to thank McLaurin Heights Baptist church especially for letting us stay in their missionary house. All the kids are in Pearl schools, really close by, in fact Caleb and Jacob walk everyday. Susan continues her excercise routines at the Courthouse gym, and Dale does a few days a week also. Meanwhile, Dale is calling and emailing, visiting supporting churches, and doing other work related to the medical ministry and economic development with the mission. God had been good to us, and we see now we really needed this time of refreshment. Here are some recent photos. One is of Rebekah and her latina friend from school, who also attends the hispanic service next door, where we go at times to keep up our Spanish. Also Jacob visited a vet for career day; He is interested now in being a vet.
