April Update (by Brena)

My sister (in photo below) and I were able to get away for a couple of nights to a fancy hotel to have some concentrated sister time. It was very fun. Watching movies, eating out, and seeing the Dallas Blooms were a few of the things we did. I’m so thankful for my wonderful sister and for the special time we had together. These times don’t happen very often!

Thank you for praying for John and me when we went to Colorado to visit friends, supporters, and a supporting church. It was SO nice to catch up with people we hadn’t seen in years and get to know people we had never met. Unfortunately we weren’t able to see more people that we know in Colorado, but time was short.

The church, Grace Church of South Park, is small but what generous, loving people they are. We felt honored and blessed to share about Bible translation with them. The beauty of the landscape and seeing wildlife were added bonuses!

(Sue, Greg, and Dave Linton shared their mountain home with us for several nights)

Prayer:

  • We are thankful God kept us safe while we were in Colorado and that we were able to see some supporters and share about Bible translation.
  • This coming month is our last full month left in Texas. Please pray for us as we continue to prepare for our return to Papua New Guinea.
  • We will have one week in May with Grant before he heads off to his Uncle Dave’s house in SC for the summer. We’re thankful God brought him through his first year of college and that he has a place to stay this summer.

Ultimate!

It was great fun to be able to see Grant play Ultimate Frisbee with his JBU team, Ironfist, this past weekend! They were playing in a tournament relatively near us so we were able to drive down and watch. What a FUN sport! Lots of running – kind of a mix between basketball and soccer. AND they won the tournament! Way to go, Ironfist!!

So grateful Grant can be involved with this great bunch of guys. So thankful for the school God has placed him in this year. This weekend was good for this mom’s heart. :) Now I can picture him playing when we’re overseas this coming year.
