On our way again

Hello everyone,
Well here it is 1 year from the first time we left for New Zealand. A lot has happened since the last time we have updated you all so let me fill you in a little.
A few months ago Tecla came to the States. Later on, after closing down the semester in New Zealand, I joined her for the waiting of our little Jade. As some of you may have heard, Jade Elizabeth Wilmoth was born on 7-9-11. She was 7. 10 lbs beautiful and healthy. She is now a month old, such a gift from the Lord. Mommy (Tecla) is doing well, looking forward to the newness of life together with our daughter. We’re both amazed and blessed to know that God has entrusted us a sweet angel. We’ve been parents for 5 weeks and this is our experience so far: being a parent is like on 24 hours emergency alert. Sometimes, you wonder how can you survive till your kid is grown. Some days, you simply feel inadequate and don't have a clue in the world of what to do next... but we both rely on God’s enabling power to be faithful parents.
I (Jake) have been working in a warehouse in Bloomington, Revchem composites. It has been a huge blessing to be working while back home. I have also been getting ready to be teaching 2 classes for next semster, the book of Joshua and the book of Revelation. These are some quotes that inspire me: A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. I am excited to be used again and to see what God will accomplish in the lives of the students.
We are planning to go back to New Zeland soon. We applied for another year work visa on Thursday, August 4th. We are praying that they will get back to us soon so we can get our tickets and shortly be on our way. Tecla and I have been praying and feel more and more that the Lord is leading us to make New Zealand our home. As we are on our way, we will be looking into how the Lord may provide, and if that is truly His will.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. We appreciate all the love and encouragment that every one has shown us since we have been home and since Jade was born.
Prayer requests:
Raising Jade in the way of the Lord
New Semester at the College
Finaces & accomadations
Wisdom in how to go about making New Zealand our home

Jake, Tecla and Jade Wilmoth

“Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear least any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.” - Hebrews 4:12
