Quick July Update

Things have been crazy since we got home from India in the fall. All of the holiday craziness... then we started a new job at the church as the secretary in February which has been an incredible blessing for our family. And, in May, we found out that we are expecting a new addition to our family in January. That's right, baby #4 is on its way! As if things weren't already crazy enough! It has been a rough pregnancy so far, but God has worked things out for good and the baby is now doing great.

We had originally hoped for a January departure date back to India, but that will have to be pushed back a few months as we get adjusted to having a new baby. We are not yet sure of our new departure date, but to be quite honest, a lot of it will depend on our funding. Because of pregnancy complications, we have not been able to travel to do any fundraising over the last few months, but the doctor has given us a good report and we can hopefully start travelling again soon!

Next week, we will be at Little Galilee Christian Camp for the week teaching the kids about India and sharing our journey with them. Last year when we did a week of camp, it was amazing! We had a lot of fun and we were so blessed by the kids we met and the impact they made on our lives. They raised almost $1000 for us last year during missions time as well. We are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to share with the kids again!

We will have the opportunity to speak again at another week of camp in August as well.

At the end of August, Dan and his brother Devon will be travelling to India for a few weeks to shoot some promotional videos for the hospital we will be working at. Please pray for their trip. Currently, we are waiting for their visas to arrive so we can purchase their plane tickets.

As for our fundraising, we would love to begin travelling again soon to visit churches and families, so if you would like us to come to your church and speak to a group or come share with your family about what God is doing in India, please let us know, or if you know anyone else that might, please pass the word on.
