Happy Birthday to Kerri!

Tomorrow is Kerri's birthday, so if you get a chance be sure and tell her happy birthday. I wanted to take the opportunity also to update what's been going on lately. Our blog has been pretty much focused on us as a family and of course on showing off pics of our girls so friends and family can keep up with how well they're doing and how big they are getting. As we are beginning to get to the point where we can actually be more involved in ministry, we hope to use the blog to give updates on ministries and let you know specific prayer requests. We'll still put pics on, of course, but want to keep everyone more updated on the whole reason we are learning Spanish to begin with. We're excited about the opportunities the Lord is giving us to serve Him, even though we are completely inadequate.
Kerri will still be involved in the bible study with young women, and will begin also to teach within the next few weeks to couple of months. Keep her in your prayers as she gets ready for this step, and pray also for the girls to be open and to trust Christ.
I had one of the street guards approach me about helping him learn english. So I invited a friend who knows Spanish a little better than I to help out, and we began a Bible study with him this past week. This guard is lost, but seems interested. Pray with us also that his family, and perhaps even more people, would get involved in the study and come to trust Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Thanks again for all your prayers, support and love.

Ted, Kerri, Taylor and Kamryn!
I was thinking of you guys this morning and wondering how things were going for you! I'm so glad to see the girls are growing so big and staying healthy! Our God is good! I'm praying for you all as you minister to others and begin new means of ministry. God bless you all!
