Early tomorrow morning I leave for a Peru Missions Conference in Atlanta. I will return Friday evening. I do not know of computer accessibility during this time, but my family told me they will post.

Whitney left for Dallas this morning, where she will spend a couple of days, then she's off to Florida with friends. Deanna and Lauren will be here in Tulsa, and will spend some time with two of BJ's Peru '05 team.

Change seems to have become our closest companion, but I can tell you honestly, not our dearest friend. Returning from Africa has been a blessing, but I must say that for so long, much energy has been gone into preparations mentally, emotionally, spiritually and otherwise, and now that it is behind us, and our girls are preparing to leave once again, we are fighting sadness.

Seeing what our Lord did is such an encouragement and has blessed our team. Returning to Tulsa and not having family close has been difficult. The people here in Tulsa are incredible, but family has been our support system for a lifetime, and we want to share with them.

We plan to travel back to Indiana (Lord willing) August 14th, for a week. Time with our loved ones will be so benenficial.

Being able to share with you has been an encouragement, and we appreciate your prayer support and notes. I will post from Atlanta if the opportunity is available, otherwise, it will be next week.

God Bless you each,
