Maine Attraction

I wrote this a few nights ago. We are now in PEI Canada having a great time. I'll be sure to post again soon.

It has been a while since my last post. Right now Esther and I are in a library in Lisbon Falls, ME. We have had a good trip so far, but it has rained most the time while driving. The first three days of travel (Monday to Wednesday) were tough. We did about 500 miles per day and when we got to the places we were staying we were pretty tired. We have been driving through some really beautiful country. Monday night we stopped in Wheaton, IL, Tuesday night we were in Sherman, NY (good luck finding that on a map), and Wednesday night we were in Bedford, NH. I have really enjoyed meeting and staying with a lot of people
Today we are taking it a bit easier, Esther’s mom is big into tracing her family’s genealogy and we are catching up on some work while she’s tracing some of her ancestors here in Maine.
The Lord has continued to be faithful (isn’t He always) in our support raising. We have been encouraged, surprised, and excited about the team that the Lord is putting together as we look forward to heading to Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks goes out to those who are praying for us, supporting us, and encouraging us. Please continue to pray that we would be effective communicators of God’s work in our lives.

So excited to hear how you all are doing!!!! We miss you tons and are praying for you! Call us sometime - it is harder for us to call not knowing if you are busy and what time zone you are in - tell Esther I miss her greatly and am so excited she is getting time with her mom. We are praying for you both! Can't wait to hear all about how God is providing!

Thanks for the update. I'm happy to hear that your support raising is going well. You two are are becomming pros at laying down tracks. 500 miles a day!

Not sure if your crab or lobster fans, but if so, you would be remiss to vist the Maine and not try some!
