Since we have returned to the US just prior to Thanksgiving we have burnt up I-35 between the airport in Austin and the Dallas-Ft. Worth area (and beyond). We have had some good meetings and enjoyed time with family.
As of this writing, Sheila is at the home of her parents in southern New Mexico and I am preparing for the second of two school field trips with a small school district north of Mt.Pleasant, TX. This is a contractual, consulting relationship that dates back almost 20 years. This year more than any I am aware of the 20 years that have passed under the bridge since I first started the 3-day field trip business.
We are enjoying our time here in the states, yet our thoughts are also pulled to those we love in Nicaragua, and we look forward to our return there in mid-December.
Recently we sent out a thank you to each of you with a request regarding future financial support. Some of you have not yet responded, some of you have indicated you would be able to meet the small increase and some have noted that they must reduce financially for whatever reason. The beauty of this is that, of those responding, without doubt are continuing spiritual support through the awesome power of prayer.
As I look forward to celebrating my first anniversary of moving to Nicaragua, facing some additional financial challenges, I am at peace and confident of what lies ahead because of your commitment to maintain your spiritual support. God is good...all the time. I don't know if God's plan is for us to stay through January 2013 or January 2033, but rest in the comfort that God is in control.
One of the logistical changes we as a foundation made in the past year is that we have a new mailing address. I am taking this opportunity to remind those of you who send an annual donation to use the post office box address.
The address is:
SFSE
PO Box 903
Georgetown, TX 78627
Finally, we are working hard to continue doing what we have always done. We are fitting more glasses in Nicaragua and continue to answer the bell when called upon by those seeking general benevolence assistance in the US.
Our next scheduled trip is set for mid-January when we return for the medical mission conference and the annual Mision Para Cristo Gala - both to be held in the Dallas area.
Until then...
Jonathan and Sheila
