Dear Family and Friends,
As we write this we’re packing our suitcases for our first trip home to the U.S.! We are very excited for the incredible opportunity to spend six weeks on “home assignment,” Oct. 29-Dec. 9. It will be tough to leave our work at the Ranch, but we are thrilled to have an opportunity to share with so many of you about our first year as a missionary family and the goals we have for the coming years. We’re also incredibly excited to see our daughter, Yese, and many other friends and family, and to enjoy a little rest and relaxation.
During our trip to the U.S., we plan to be in the following locations:
- Oct. 29-Nov. 2 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
- Nov. 3-10 - North Georgia and surrounding area
- Nov. 11-17 - Lynn Haven/Panama City, Florida area
- Nov. 18-Dec. 1 - Pace/Pensacola, Florida area
- Dec. 2 - Dec. 8 - Daytona Beach, Florida area
If you’re in any of the areas we’ll be in and want to get together, please contact me (Kris) at 850.377.5136!
Though we have not had many Serve Teams in the last two months, we have been busy preparing for our 2024 teams, helping out at the Ranch school and assisting with other activities, including hosting kids’ activities and Youth Group in our home and leading Freedom Forever, a curriculum that aims to help kids heal from trauma and find freedom in Christ. Additionally, the boys participated in the local parade for the Honduran Independence Day and Steve and I were able to attend a weekend retreat for missionary couples.
If you or anyone you know would like to come on a mission trip or explore longer term missionary opportunities, please contact us! We can host individuals, families or large teams. We have learned this past year that there are plenty of opportunities for anyone to serve and honor God here!
Thank you to everyone who has kept our family in your prayers. We have felt them daily since beginning this adventure of ministry! We are so thankful to be serving here, and for the prayers and financial support that has made it possible. We love you all!
