*Raising moving expenses

*Additional Support Needed

         Furlough  has  been  long  and  I  am  so  looking  forward  to  returning  to  Estonia.    In  March,  we  are  planning  to  return  to  renew  our  residence  papers  and  then  come  back  to  the  USA  for  Candice  to  graduate  high  school  and  get  her  settled  into  college  and  to  get  Corissa  settled  with  a  host  family  to  Ainish  her  senior  year  in  high  school.    After  the  girls  are  settled  comes  all  the  packing,  moving,  and  the  dreaded  goodbyes  and  tears.    That  said,  we  

are  needing  to  raise  moving  expenses.    Our  residency  will  cost  $250,  plane  tickets  and  luggage    will  be  $7,000,  moving  truck  rental  here  and  in  Estonia  will  be  $800,  and  3  months  rent  for  a  deposit  on  an  apartment  in  Estonia  will  be  $1,500  to  $2,000  adding  up  to  $10,050.  

         Our  support  is  still  not  up  where  it  needs  to  be  but  we  are  still  praying  God  will  provide  a  way  to  return  to  Estonia.    The  Euro  is  down  so  that  does  help  some  but  for  how  long,  we  don’t  know.    

*Need For a Van ($10,000)          A  newer  van  is  still  needed  for  our  ministry.    Our  orange  1995  Transporter  Volkswagen  is  still  putting  along  but  is  needing  more  and  more  TLC.

PRAISE THE

LORD!!!

1. Candice and Corissa given great opportunities to use their talents. 2. God blessing our time in the U.S.A.

         School  is  going  good  for  our  kids  and  they  have  accomplished  so  much.    We  are  very  proud  of  them.    Candice  (18)  had  2  pieces  of  her  art  work  put  in  a  gallery  at  Lindenwood  University  in  St.  Louis  and  has  been  accepted  to  Liberty  University  to  study  Art.    Corissa  (16)  sang  in  St.  Louis  County  Honor  Choir  and  is  doing  great  in  the  Biomedical  program  at  her  high  school.    Both  girls  sang  with  the  choir  in  the  Macy’s  Holiday  Concert  with  the  St.  Louis  Symphony.    Phillip  (12)  is  Ainally  adjusting  to  middle  school,  and  as  many  boys,  he  excels  in  computer  games.  :)  God  has  really  blessed  them  with  talent  and  opportunities.  Please  continue  to  pray  for  a  host  family  for  Corissa  to  Ainish  high  school  and  for  Candice  as  she  transitions  to  Liberty  U.
