We\u2019re currently enjoying south Texas fall weather\u201440s or 50s at night and 70s in the day.\u00a0 The pecan trees on the back half of my (Jennifer\u2019s) dad\u2019s property have produced a bumper crop this year, so we\u2019ve been picking pecans every chance we get.\u00a0 I realized a while back that this is the first time I\u2019ve gotten to experience this time of year at home in Texas since 1998, the year before I left for Bible school.<\/p>\n
DJ and Tyndale have both finished their dental work, and I should only have one or two appointments left.\u00a0 Areli also has one appointment left.\u00a0 We would appreciate prayers that my tooth pain will go away (I\u2019m still in quite a bit of pain from dental work that has already been done), and that DJ and I will know the best place to get the crowns (one each) that we need.<\/p>\n
Next week DJ has been given an opportunity to share at a church in Uvalde (30 miles away) during their Sunday morning service.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0We have recently been attending this church part time and are starting to get to know people there.\u00a0 We\u2019re so thankful for the opportunity, and we\u2019d appreciate prayers that the Lord will allow us to continue to develop friendships there.<\/p>\n
We have booked tickets to return to Asia Pacific\u00a0on January 7.\u00a0 The goodbyes this time are going to be even harder than normal (and that\u2019s saying something.)\u00a0 Both my grandmother and my mother are in very poor health and are struggling a lot with the thought of us leaving again.\u00a0 We continue to take supper to my grandmother twice a week and spend those afternoons\/evenings with her. \u00a0We are treasuring every minute.\u00a0 And we\u2019ve also been able to connect more with my mom this time than at any other time that we\u2019ve been home. \u00a0We stop in at her house most Sunday afternoons after church.\u00a0 On top of that, we have the privilege of living on the same property as my dad and stepmom, so we get to see them every day.\u00a0 They are such a blessing to us and our kids.<\/p>\n
Thank you so much for praying. \u00a0We are so grateful to have all of you in our lives.\u00a0 God bless you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
