As you can see from our updates (or lack thereof), December was a slow month as far as our mission efforts are concerned. With the Christmas season in full swing, it’s difficult to book meetings for the month and even to get ahold of pastors. It’s also a bit daunting to do drop-ins during December because many churches alter service times because of special programs. Still, we enjoyed spending the month with our church family and being a part of the yearly Christmas play. The real blessing is that God honored our previous mission efforts as two churches and one couple contacted us with the news they were planning to take us on for support beginning in January. Praise the Lord!

As we get closer to the holidays, our mission meeting schedule is thinning out (which is typical according to other missionaries).

This gives us the opportunity to introduce ourselves, meet the pastor and congregation, and hopefully book a meeting for a time in the future. So far, so good.

On Saturday, November 3rd, we set out—once again—for an eight-hour drive, this time to Green Valley Baptist Church in Middletown, Virginia. Though we were dreading another long journey in the car, the Lord blessed our travels with beautiful mountain views and bright fall foliage. I don’t remember ever enjoying a car ride as much as we did that day, and we arrived at our hotel room (purchased by Green Valley Baptist Church) in good spirits.

As you can tell, we’re still trying to get caught up on our updates. Who knew traveling these many miles would tire the body so much? I guess there’s a reason why the majority of missionaries on deputation are half our age. Still, God has been good, and we have no complaints. . .a few aches and pains maybe, but no complaints.
