Vacation!

 My parents and began our vacation on July 18. We traveled to my youngest brother's to visit for a few days and have some natural health testing and consultation. At church, we met some friends who were in charge of our camp when we were kids. My dad was able to get in some good fishing.

My oldest brother came through and picked me up to travel to my sister's in Iowa. We then all traveled to Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the huge air show. I met several missions aviations groups. We had my sister's 7 kids, and my brother's twins. I met a 100 year old Tuskegee airman which was the highlight of the trip for me  We had a great time.

While in Oshkosh, I was able to give a brief testimony about my ministry. There a number of missionaries there, and more will be there throughout the week, so I was able to leave prayer cards for them.

My parents had traveled to Indiana to visit with my other sister while I was in Oshkosh. They had a great time visiting with the grandkids there as well as my dad's sister's family. They then traveled with another of my dad's sister's to meet me in Iowa.We will be here together for a few days, and plan to spend an enjoyable time playing games and catching up.

Please pray for my mom as she got some bad news while on the trip. I will give a more detailed report after she makes some decisions.

Please continue to pray for an unspoken situation. Satan is fighting hard to hold onto a family and especially the kids. Only God can prick the hearts to remedy this situation.

Baby Joel has a non-heart  related surgery on Monday, so please pray that all goes well. Due to taking aspirin everyday and having the heart condition, they will keep him overnight.

Time is always slipping away.

 The older I get, the more amazed I am at how fast time seems to go. I try to keep up with blogging at least every two weeks, but I'm late again. there hasn't been too much going on lately, so this post will be more prayer requests.

We did have 8 visitors in church Sunday. One is from a nearby town, and he plans to return. Others were vacationing. We had a good spirit in the church. Please pray for our kids program. Many of our kids have been away a lot this summer. Some have family problems they are dealing with. Please pray that we can encourage them back to faithfulness.

Please continue to pray for an ongoing situation. It is one only God can correct.

Please pray as my parents and I travel to Missouri. We will all be getting a special test to see what needs fixing in our bodies. Hopefully, this will give us some better answers and direction for helping my mom get her health back.

Please pray as I continue to work towards heading out for more missions trips. God has revealed several needs and opportunities.
