Hello from Orientation

Well we made it to orientation and I have not been able to get to a computer until now. We left San Antonio last Thursday and drove to the Ft. Worth area. We stayed at our friends house that caravaned with us. We helped them pack up and met their friends and family who were all great. We also got to go to dinner with other IMB friends and it was wonderful to see them. On Saturday we left Texas and met up with more friends in Little Rock, AK. We stayed the night in Jackson, TN. On Sunday we had the priveledge to do a missions moment for First Baptist Jackson, TN. We were travelling so we did not get to meet anyone there but I want you to know you are being prayed for from here. Thankyou for partnering with our family. The prayers go both ways. From there we went to Kingsport, TN and stayed the night. We had a bit of a scare there. We thought Micah had been kidnapped. Let me explain. When we got to the room there were a lot of problems from the bed not being made to half empty gatorade bottles in the refrigerator. We had 3 rooms right together and everyone going from room to room watching the game or playing or writing a paper for school (David). David comes in to the "game" room and I said where is Micah? Then we can't find him. So all the adults are searching the hotel. Well it ends up that Micah was asleep on the bed under all of the blankets. He is so little we couldn't find him. So we had a little scare and now we can laugh about it. We drove to Virginia on Monday and have been setting up house for 2 days. We have made so many Wal Mart runs its not even funny. Today we started classes and we found out that they have chosen us to be small group leaders. Please pray that we do a good job.

The children are doing great. In fact right now I have to go pick them up from school. Thank you so much for your prayers. If there is something we can be praying for you about please let us know.

As I was reading, I thought you were going to say you found Micah in the bathroom; that's where were find all "lost" children in the Preschool Ministry.

Glad to hear you made it safely to VA. You guys are a terrific choice for group leaders, naturals!
