Birthdays and Family

Last week, we had the privilege of visiting my (Ellen's) family in Germany to celebrate my Mom's 70th birthday. We enjoyed our time with them very much! Eliana proved to be a great traveler - she did great on the plane, actually seemed to enjoy the landing, and only suffered from jet-lag induced poor sleep for the first two nights. Looks like she is born to be an MK :-)

Today we are celebrating Eliana's birthday with Joel's side of the family - his Mom Lorel, and sister Val and her husband Job and baby Jasper are coming to visit us for two days. Both Eliana and Jasper are turning 1 this week. What wonderful memories!

In the weeks prior to our Germany trip, we began calling many of you to talk with you individually about our missions plans. We have enjoyed each of those conversations as we love to connect with our brothers and sisters in Christ and talk about the mission God has laid in our hearts.

We are currently at 26% of monthly support and 28% of one-time support raised. We are blessed by your donations and commitments to pray for us and continue to trust the Lord that He is able to provide all the need to move to Germany this calendar year.
