Here's an update on what has been going on.... we've been a little busy and I apologize for the delay in posting something!

On Wednesday, I arrived in San Angelo with the Uhaul. The original plan was to take the truck to Amarillo and then transport our few boxes in cars and trucks. But, needless to say, plans change! So I ended up going to San Angelo by myself on Weds. I unpacked the truck, and then on Thursday, Jim Stanley picked me at the Uhaul place. Jim was gracious enough to then take me to the radio program he was doing! I was a little surprised when he said "WE" would be on the air, but it was really cool. Jim does a weekly hour-long call-in program on KCRN in San Angelo. Sometimes he gets a lot of calls, and other times not so many. But it was neat to see the "inner" workings at a radio station, and then to be on the air with my friend! One listener even called in with a question for me! (It was about if I was just called to be a missionary, or was my wife and family called too...great question!) The folks at the radio station were some of the nicest I've met, and it was fun to be a part of the program.

Since I had a few days of time alone, I started to work on our PowerPoint presentation. Jim had told me we would have the evening service to share/present, so it was time to get to work! Thirty or so slides later, we had our presentation ready. It was a blessing to be able to share with our home church in Texas what God was doing in our lives, and how we needed their help. We will meet with the elders of the church on our return visit after PFO. (The meeting is scheduled for July 10th, tentatively.) If you want a copy of the PowerPoint, email us, and we will send you one!

I say we have been a little busy, because in reality, we are simply enjoying time with family and friends. On Monday, we were invited to have dinner with a friend from ABC. The kids swam in the pool, but had to get out once the thunder started. For the first time in weeks, San Angelo got rain! (Of course it would be the day our car gets its bi-annual cleaning!)

Lastly, I had to share a cool devotional thought I got from reading Spurgeon the other day. The devotion was on Numbers 11:21-23. Remember the story about quail in the desert? Moses was told by God that the people would eat meat. Moses, thinking like we do, wondered how he was going to provide meat for all those people. God sets Moses straight in verse 23- "Is the LORD'S arm too short?" Why do we try to do things in our own strength when we have a God that is willing and able to work through us and for us? If God has said he will do something, why do we doubt or try to do things on our own? It was a great reminder for me- God's going to provide the way, I just need to trust in him! Well, that's enough for now. One of these days I will actually try to post a little at a time instead of waiting too long! Thanks for your continued prayers. Things are moving quickly now. We should get Visa info in a few days and that will be a fun adventure! Pray too for the kids- the transition has been hard on them, and just when they are getting used to one house, we will be moving on to another. Pray for Erin and I to have wisdom through it all! Let us know how we can pray for you too! God bless! -mekj
