Mountains

While traveling though the mountains of VA last week, Kylie over heard Jonathan & I talking about the moutains & how pretty they were. She said "mommy, where the mounts"? I said - "look out the window & you'll see them". She said, "Ohhh...are we in Mexico"???!!!

Monthly Budget

To help us in raising the monthly support we need on this deputation tour, we sat down & made out a monthly budget. It is for $2,085 a month. So far we've had 14% of that amount pledged or already has been given! Please help us pray that God will help us to raise the rest of the amount we need. If we can get this amount, Jonathan will not have to come to the US to work very much! I'll keep you all updated on the progress! I personally am praying that this happens very quickly! It means we get to go back to Texas soon & get ready to move into Mexico! I'm loving being up in the 'north country' but, everytime I look at our pictures during a service, I get very homesick!

Also if anyone wants to pledge monthly toward our support, you can email me at texmexspringers@aol.com. A HUGE thank you to those who have already and have already been sending their donations. If you need a tax-deductible receipt, let me know that too, and I can give you the right information for that.

Update!

Wow - its been too long again, since I've updated our blog! We are in Johnstown for a few days at my parents house and I'm working on 'office work' - so I should get it caught up! =) I have lots of pictures & information to post about our travels & some mission related topics! We are so thankful for God's help to us these last 2 months (its hard to believe we've been traveling that long!) but He's lead us & provided for us! I'm headed to bed for tonight, but please keep checking back the next few days. Its hard to blog while traveling, first because sometimes I don't have access to the internet or else because we're so busy I just don't have the time!

Our new missions table display??

Mother's day pictures







Here are the pictures from Mother's Day. A neat side note: Kamryn is wearing the same dress Kylie wore on Mother's Day 2 years ago!

Mother's Day

I had a fun, relaxing Mother's Day! We didn't schedule a service Sunday morning, so we attended church with my mother-in-law. Afterwards, we enjoyed a great dinner and fun afternoon with them. We took pictures but they are on Lynn & Sarah's cameras, so I'll try to get those later today. Then we hurried and got ready for our service last night. It was probably the best one as far as the kids behaving! =) Korey slept the whole time! =) God's been really helping us and we thank Him for that!

Today, we are packing to go to Hobe Sound, FL for the rest of the week for Becka's graduation! We are so proud of her and thrilled we're gonna be able to be there! On Friday morning, Jonathan is flying to Ohio to attend Joseph's graduation. We'll get back to NC a week from today and then we'll be so busy I'm not sure how we'll make it!

The kids are growing up so much ~ I miss having time to blog about all the things they do...because although this is public, I've used it to sorta journal our lives to for myself. I'm gonna try to take some time later this evening to blog about each of them!

We are still alive!

Yes, lots of things have happened in our lives since I last updated but we are still here and happy serving Jesus! Its been so great to see so many friends and met so many new ones! I'm not too good at taking pictures at our services since my time is devoted to keeping our 3 little darlings behaving during church! AND last week when we came back to NC I left my camera in PA! So, my parents are taking it to FL with them and I'll get it when we go down there for Becka's college graduation next week!

The most excitment of our lives was that Kamryn had an unexplainable fever for 104.7 over the weekend. God was so good to us and we were here in Thomasville where He led us to a good doctor. He had no idea why she had a fever that high. To make a long story short, it went away early Monday morning and she's been fine! Praise the Lord!

We did enjoy being with my parents in Johnstown for almost 2 weeks! Again, not much time for pictures! I think I do have some I need to blog after I get my camera back.

God has been so good to us and I can't praise Him enough for providing the things we need just in time!
I don't have a very good signal, so I'm gonna sign off for now! Please keep checking our blog for news & updates!
