We are now over half way done with our furlough in the states. It has been a really busy year this year. I won't bore you with all the details of our trip thus far but I will tell you that we started it with our good friends who are missionaries to an Asian country. We spent 5 days in Colorado, where we were very happily pleased to play in the snow. (Five years is a long time to not see snow for a Minnesnowtian) We then moved on to spend time with Clark side of the family in Minnesota. Where we were very busy plus got the stomach flue. Now were are staying with Jessie's brother's house who have three kids. Our kids go to bed very tired at night and are having the time of their lives. My one request is that you continue to pray for our health. It is always a concern when we are traveling and staying with family. I will keep this post brief but I plan to post pictures in the following week as we will be spending our time at Jessie's parent's house who both work during the day.
