Dear Friends,
Thank you for your prayers as we continue to travel to our supporting churches while on furlough. For those of you who don’t remember, we arrived May 1st in the states and immediately began preparing new prayer cards and our dvd presentation. We have visited churches in New Jersey, Ohio, South and North Dakota and Minnesota so far.
On the family side, we were thankful to be able to spend time with the grandparents and see the children make memories with each one. The younger ones–Myles and Autumn–still call each grandparent “Grandpa” no matter who it is and the older children cannot get enough fishing in! It was a blessing to see extended family as well at the Courts reunion in June and Peterson reunion in July.
Recently Lee has been at camp in Wyoming as the missionary speaker. We were thrilled to be able to send Samantha and Carissa to junior camp for their first “camping” experience. When asked what they did all week, they mentioned the zip line, archery, making boats out of recycled materials and all the stories that “Dad” would elaborate during his sessions. The rest of the family are anxiously awaiting to have Dad home again!
Our schedule for the next month:
August 2—Elkton, SD
August 3-5—-VBS in Elkton, SD
Aug 9—Baker, Montana
Aug 16—Hulett, Wyoming
Aug 23—Casper, Wyoming (am); Sturgis, SD (pm)
Aug 30—Eagle, Colorado
Prayer Requests:
1) Lee’s health–fighting off an infection and parasite
2) safety in traveling
3) monies needed to pay off plane tickets
4) safe delivery of baby (January 2)
We have been humbled in visiting our churches with their warm reception and love gifts and we are thankful to God for the “Team” that He has given us to allow us to serve in South Africa. Thank you for your many prayers and words of encouragement!
Sincerely,
Janelle for the Peterson family
