February 2013

Hello every one,
I can't believe it is already February 2013, where did January go?  I hope you are all well!

So we wanted to fill you all in on what has taken place in the past few months.
Since the end of last semester, (beginning of December) we were blessed with the opportunity to go back to California for about 5 weeks.  We left New Zealand to see family and friends for the first time for about a year and a half.  It was truly a blessed time.  We spent most of it just enjoying the fellowship with Jake's family.  It was priceless to see Jade and Olivia (Jake's 2 year old niece) running the house:)  We were able to meet with Franz and Monica who were down here in New Zealand for a time.  We also attended the missions conference at Calvary Chapel Bible College Murrieta, for a few days.

We have since headed back to New Zealand and are now under way with a new semester which began on February 4th.  From out travel it has taken us some time to get back into the swing of things, so please continue to keep us in prayer.
This semester Jake is teaching the book of Joshua along with over seeing Friday Lectures, Morning Devos, and various other areas in the college.  Tecla is once again our fabulous head cook and in charge of the students servant hood areas.  Jade is the school mascot, her job is to be her self and make the students laugh and to love on the horses around the Ranch.

We do have a praise report.  While we were in California we got news that our residency application was accepted.  We will have to pay quite a bit of money for the migrant levy but other then that we just send in the passports and we are golden.

Philippians 1:6 "being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it, until the day of Christ."

Prayer requests:
Wisdom in raising Jade
Extra finances for the residency migrant levy
Wisdom for this up coming semester
