Perhaps nothing else can make you better appreciate family than an extended time away from them. I got back from Texas this past Thursday, and I've enjoyed these past couple of days being with Brie and Ali. This past Saturday, after not having much time with each other, all three of us traveled up to Chicago for the day. It was a lot of fun. We drove by Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, and enjoyed walking through their free zoo and along the lake.
This week has been fairly busy too for us. Currently we have 4 teams out on the field and are already working on trips as far out as April 2012. It's a true joy to help people participate in the Great Commission overseas and it's always nice to hear how they've been impacted by the trip that (with your help and support) we were able to put together for them. This weekend is One Weekend. It gives people from all over the U.S. a chance to come rub shoulders with missionaries and get a feel for what mission life is like and helps them explore if becoming a missionary is something they would like to consider.
Thank you for your prayers while I was out of town. Brie and Ali felt very well taken care of and prayed for. Brie is feeling much better and I think Ali is finally getting over her sinus infection. Luckily, our health insurance kicks in next week, so she can go to the doctor. Please continue to pray for us, the teams we have out in the field and One Weekend this Friday-Sunday.
His Servants!
Brent, Briyana, and Aliyana
