Dear Friends and Supporters,<\/p>\n

Greetings from the Burns!\u00a0 Well, thought it was time we wrote and let you know what has been happening in our lives<\/p>\n

\"Our
Our cute grandson!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

the past month.\u00a0 Hope you all had a wonderful summer and are rejoicing in our Savior!\u00a0 We are amazed at how fast the days are flying!<\/p>\n

Heather<\/strong> and Haley<\/strong> are busy with schoolwork again (Heather- a Senior at UCF and Haley-a Junior in High School) and Cody<\/strong> is staying busy working on maintenance at the mission. I (Jackie) am only teaching one math class in our mission school this year instead of two classes.\u00a0 I am teaching Pre-Algebra again to 7th and 8th grade.\u00a0 Our school is small with only about 50 students so I only have 3 in my class this year.\u00a0 It is really nice to have such a small class, though, as I can spend more time with each student.\u00a0 It is hard to believe that we have already been in class for over a month!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Phil <\/strong>has kept busy remodeling the maintenance office and is finishing up on remodeling an apartment for a single lady who will be here soon.<\/p>\n

I, also, continue to work in the Field Ministries Office doing secretarial work when I’m not at the school.\u00a0 This past week and a half there were Bible Translators and Translation Consultants from many of our fields here for a Translation Seminar on the Epistles.\u00a0 I wasn’t directly involved with the seminar but did a few things to keep the office going while the others were in the seminar.<\/p>\n

Awana, at our church, has also started again so that keeps us busy Sunday afternoons and evenings.\u00a0 We had a large group this evening and it is so encouraging to see these young kids faithfully learning their Scripture verses and singing praise songs!\u00a0 Two of these kids have recently joined the church and I have helped instruct them about baptism.\u00a0 It will be exciting to see them get baptized in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Phil and I are excited to say that we will be flying out to Colorado<\/span> to visit Jason and his family the end of October.\u00a0 Someone who wishes to remain anonymous has offered to give us their extra air miles so that we can fly out to see our grandson<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 I have only seen Jaxon once (when he was 6 months old) and Phil has only seen him in pictures so it will be a special treat for him.\u00a0 In December Jaxon will be two.\u00a0 We wanted to pick a time when it would be cool (a nice change from the Florida weather) but not too cold -as us Floridians don’t last long in cold weather!!\u00a0 Needless to say, we are amazed at the thoughtfulness and love of other folks and so thankful that the Lord is allowing us to do this.\u00a0 We feel really blessed!<\/p>\n
