April

I write this as the snow falls...hardly seems possible that it is almost MAY!  We forgot that Montana only has two seasons...winter, and July. :)  The kids had a barefoot race in the snow the other day.  I think they are getting desperate to get rid of their shoes.

Our time in Bozeman is winding down.  We have a little over three weeks left, and then we head to the east coast for a month before heading out.  How did the time go by this quickly?!

Musa finishes school and will be filling in the time with a couple projects in Bozeman, and then hopefully on to ECHO in Florida for a short time.  He has thoroughly enjoyed his time here, and Bible college, but I don't think he will be sad to get back to his friends, family, and "normal" food.

We continue to feel so blessed by connecting with friends.  It's common knowledge in the missionary community that you shouldn't count on the same friends every time, as people move on and make new friendships while you are gone.  Our friends, on the other hand, have been so gracious in including us back into their lives and making extra time for us on a regular basis.  THANK YOU.

God has generously given us this time to regroup, get a new perspective, and work on some of our own areas that need reshaping in order to be more faithful servants for Him.  We are praying that we will go back with new enthusiasm and patience for what is required of us!
