Friends,
As I reflect on how fast January has past I have to give credit to the Lord for all His help in accomplishing everything that had to be done. The first couple of weeks of the New Year it was fun to reflect on the past year and dream about what was to come. Then, reality hits. All the paperwork that must be done to finish out 2011 and then begin 2012.
The biggest and most tedious task is the processing of W2's for the missionaries. Not to bore you with details but believe me that it is one long and involved process. With the help of a great staff we pushed forward and completed this task and made the Jan 31 deadline a couple of days early!
Now I head back out on the road, or should I say in the air. I will be in Comitan, Chaipas for a few days to visit a great family that recently relocated there. I am looking forward to learning about a new part of Mexico and the culture that exists in this part of the world. It will be fun to see what all our God is doing in this part of Chiapas.
Have a blessed day and press on!

2012 A Year of Challenges!
Friends,
As we move into the New Year it is always good to reflect on where you have been and where you are going. For our family we continue to see God move in our lives. We hope to do better in blogging and keeping you up to date on our lives. As we move through 2012 we know there will be challenges but God will be with us and He is on our side. With that assurance there can be no fear!
Vonda is a steady rock and enjoys her volunteer work at the church food pantry and Carmen's school. She is also putting in about 10 hrs/wk at WIM filling in as necessary. What a special woman she is!!
Aaron continues in his studies at TX State Univ. He has three semesters to go but I think he has Senioritis already! It will be interesting to see where a degree in International Studies, focus on International Relations with a minor in Math, Spanish and Geography will take him!
Jessica did very well in Oaxaca. She is planning on another three month commitment this spring. She is also considering this for a long term commitment in the fall.
Carmen brings joy to everyone and is growing up too fast. She is an excellent student and is part of the school choir and AWANA's at church.
Chris will be traveling extensively again this year preaching, teaching, encouraging and visiting our people around the world. He is also planning a trip to Central Asia where he will investigate future ministry opportunities, short term and long term.
Thank you, our wonderful group of Champions! We are successful because of YOU! May 2012 be full of blessings, peace and joy!
