Wow...Long time, No post!

I didnt realize just how long it has been since I posted anything. It seems I enjoyed my little hiatus from the computer when it was gone. We have had it back for a few weeks now and I still dont get on it as much as I used to. We have also rearranged our bedroom and living room which put our desk and computer in our bedroom making it harder to stay on the computer.
Anyway, we have been busy! We have been speaking at churches sharing our future ministry in Guatemala and we have several more churches lined up in the coming weeks. We have really enjoyed making new friends and even reconnecting with old ones. It never fails to amaze us just how much we are enjoying this representation process. The kids are doing well with the schedule, each week they ask if we are going to "our" church or a "new" church. They accept whichever one and seem to have fun no matter what. Although, I must say Coleman does give a big "yeah" when we say we are going to our church! :)
We are also in full swing with fundraisers for missions at church. This year they have graciously decided to give all the proceeds to our outgoing fund at CAM to help get us to Guatemala. The $ ususally goes toward the summer mission trip which they have decided to postpone til we are on the field. It is very encouraging to work with our Missions Team and see their interest and support. The cool thing is they even view these fundraisers as ways to IMPACT our community of Iowa. What a blessing Iowa First Baptist has been in our lives!
I have even been slacking on picture taking lately...sorry. I will have to get back in the swing of things and post pictures of our travels!
Here are a few random pics of the past couple months.
