Ecuador, Here We Come!

It's hard to believe that we will soon be leaving for our vision trip to Ecuador!

We have so many mixed emotions about this trip. On one hand we are sad to leave Gabe and Eden behind but on the other hand we are thrilled to be at this step in our quest for the mission field.

Although we know it will be hard to leave the twins, we know God is with us. We are so thankful for the opportunity to meet the other missionary families and to see their ministry first hand. This 12 day trip will provide a ton of insight into life as a missionary in Ecuador.

We are asking all of our family and friends to pray for us during this trip. We are including several specific prayer requests below.
* Pray for safe travels. We are leaving July 30th at 1:00pm and will return by 10:00pm on Wednesday, August 10th.
*Pray for those watching the twins while we are away. Daryl's parents are keeping them 7/30-8/4 and Leah's parents are keeping them 8/4-8/10.
*Pray for the Foldens and Calvas, missionaries in Ecuador.
*Pray for the children in the boy's and girl's homes we will be visiting. Daryl will be teaching a devotional and Leah will be doing a craft and snack.
*Pray that God will reveal His will for our lives during this trip. We know He has called us to full time missions and now we are searching for where He wants us to go.
*Pray for the courage to step-out in faith.
*Pray for God to use us to make a difference in all we come in contact with.
*On a side note, pray that our house sells. We have recently listed it with a new realtor who is showing the house today and has an open house scheduled for July 31st.

We are so thankful to have the support of our family and friends. We appreciate everyone of you more than you know. Thank you so much for prayerfully partnering with us on this trip.
