Time in Arizona

I arrived in Phoenix Az on e hot evening. At 7 something it was 108 degrees. I spent the first week in the Phoenix area house/dog sitting for one of my supporters. During this time I had the opportunity to share some things about Madagascar and the child I sponsor for school. Two family's I shared with wrote checks to help allow more children attend school. This also opened the door to share with another organization. Part of the reason for my trip to Arizona is to meet with my church and my supporters. I need to increase my support package by $200 per month and my one time expense by $2,600. I currently have new supporters of $100 a month and $1,500 towards my one time expense. I praise God for my new partners and pray for the new ones God is leading my way. I am blessed to have so many prayer and financial partners. I am asking you to join me in praying for the remainder of my financial needs.

My family's health

One of the reasons for this trip back to the United States is to spend time with my family. I spent the first month in Michigan spend a lot of time with my parents. My mom is in a Nursing home facility. She has Alzheimer and various other medical issues. Last week my mother was taken to the hospital after suffering a stroke. She was in a coma for 23 hours. When she awoke she appeared all better. They sent her home after 2 days back to the nursing home. One day later she was again transported to the hospital with a sires of mini strokes and another 22 hour coma. She is now back at the nursing home and we still have no answers as to the cause.

I would appreciate your continual prayers for her.

Home Assignment Week

I went to Colorado WorldVenture headquarters for a week of debriefing. All I can say is what a blessing that week was. There were 4 other families that all had just finished their first term on the field. We talked about ups and downs during the first term. We laughed and cried about things that happened we also discussed the future, and when all was said and done I felt like I have 4 new families as friends. I met with head of the Paraclete center and went through an emotional review. We discussed many things including how God is at work in my life everyday. After the evaluation she recommended I be re-endorsed for another term. I will be returning to Madagascar for another 3 year term the first week of September. All I can say is I am very grateful to serve God with an organization like WorldVenture.
