There are times in our lives where we are faced with many hard decisions and other times where things are rather quiet. We haven't had to make any of those tough decisions lately....until now. Jeff's grandfather was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer last week and given only 2-3 months to live. Choosing to live the life we live overseas (or being chosen) comes with many compromises and sometimes sacrifices (though none compare with Jesus' sacrifice for us). We struggle with what to do in times like this. This time, we are choosing to go back to the States (just for 2 weeks) to be able to see Papaw while he is still alive. We leave on November 29th and it will be a whirlwind kind of trip, but we felt like it is one that needed to be taken. Please pray for our time there.....for the travel there with the 2 little ones.....for Jeff's family during this time. Thank you!

..as a pawpaw myself with kids working for the company i am so very thankful that you have made this decision...in times to come it will be a great comfort to you and ... a very immediate comfort for your pawpaw...
Covering your journey and time with Papaw in prayer.
Horton hugs for your hearts and prayers for your journey. Peace in the preparations and joy in the visit. We got to visit a 90 year old aunt in Fort Worth when we were just there, and it was comforting and sweet to visit in what are probably her final days...A sweet smile goes a long way. May you enjoy many! Prayers for your ministry, with your call continually confirmed amid the sacrifices realized.
