APRIL 2008

And another one's gone (repeat) and another one bites the dust. Is it alright to quote the band, Queen, in a missionary update? Well, I guess it is too late. If you're wondering about the reference and the point thereof, Leah's tooth bit the proverbial dust as did the month of April. How is she already losing teeth? Where did April go? You got it... another one's gone, etc, etc. Anyhow...

April was a pretty great month for us out here. Mikayla turned three (3!!!!!!), we had a great time here during CCBCE's Outreach Week. Some of the students stayed here in Vajta and reached out to the people in our town. I was able to join them for a couple of the outings and was able to really clearly share the gospel to a handful of people in town - both young and old.

We also had a chance to spend some time with Frank (dad) and Gerri ("new mom") in Austria this month as well. Of course, if you read our last blog, you already knew that and so I am now just insulting your intelligence. My apologies if that is the case. We had a nice time with them and Robert & Diane Wojcik in Austria and in Venice, Italy.

Right now, we really only have a few weeks left in the semester (and another one of those is gone as well). It has been a great joy this semester to spend time with the students both in the classroom and out of it. We have some AMAZING students this year and we're going to be sad to see them go. Excited to see them live their lives for Jesus, but we'll miss them all at the same time. Please keep us and them in your prayers as we (all) seek to finish out the semester as strongly as possible.

In other news, it would appear that our little puppy Daisy is going to have puppies of her own. Insert a "sigh" at this point of the update. Leah couldn't be happier, so I guess that is a good thing.

We are still praying for God's will, direction, and provision for a vehicle. We are simply waiting to see what He would like to do with that. Feel free to join us in praying for this!

ALSO, we are nearing what seems to be decision time for the future of little Jurica. If you're new to this part of our journey, Jurica is a little Croatian boy that lost his father in a car crash this time last year. The same crash gave his mother severe brain damage and she is unable to care for her little boy. He is now with family on the other side of Croatia and we hope to hear in the near future if adoption is a possibility, and if so, if it is a possibility for us. As of today (April 28), we have some documents that need to be translated and submitted before we'll have a good idea about where all of this is at. PLEASE PRAY FOR US AND FOR THIS LITTLE BOY. We pray for the will of the Lord to be done in his life and that he'll be drawn unto Jesus.

Thanks so much for the support; both spiritual and financial. Both are greatly appreciated!

Keep in touch!

Oh, for those of you who are into that whole "MySpace" thing, Christi updates that for us. See if you can find her on there!

Lots of love,

Jeremy, Christi, Ian, Leah, Kara, & Mikayla
