Mystery Breakfast

Mystery Breakfast!

We are holding a Mystery Breakfast fundraiser tomorrow morning, from 8-10am at the EFree Church in Belmond. What is a "mystery" breakfast? It's fun! There are 'code names' on the menu (in our case-locations where we've lived or served). You number the order you wish the items to come to you (three courses of five items each). Each food, drink item and utensil has a corresponding code name (but only the servers know!). So in theory you may end up ordering a bowl of cereal, sausage, coffee, knife and napkin (so the dilema begins- how to eat cereal without a spoon?) The items are removed before the next round! As we raise funds, this method also gives us an opportunity to fellowship and have some laughs along the way. We will be presenting a bit more about our heart for Asia and the work we hope to do. Thankful for all the volunteers and food donations to make it a success!

Chicago trip success!

We had a great trip to Chicago and thank God for protection, and provisions. We were able to achieve Manasa's Thai visa so we have gone ahead and purchased our airplane tickets from LAX to Bangkok! Some other highlights of our Chicago visit:
~ Spending time with friends, and godsons
~ Visit to my former college, Trinity International University
~Riding the train to downtown (to get visa and do some sightseeing)
~Attending a Chicago Cubs game
~Visiting former churches Harvest Bible Chapel and Vineyard Evanston
~Visiting family in Wisconsin

We feel blessed to be able to see 'old stomping grounds' and are encouraged as God moves us closer to our goal of heading back to Asia full time! We did not get enough time to visit everyone we wanted so hope our next visit to the USA includes some further time in Illinois.
Getting a "preparation" list checked off as we only have a month left in the USA!

Chicago bound

Heading to chicago to apply for Manasa's visa to Thailand. Looking forward to all the plans falling into place . We've been so blessed this week with God's faithfulness and His provisions as we plan our next trip, with it in sight! thanks for the prayers
