WOW! Where has the time gone? January and February have flown by so fast and it was just a few days ago that Eric & I celebrated our two month wedding anniversary! Time flies when you are having fun!

We were so excited that most of you all were at our wedding. You guys are like family! So, we wanted to take a few moments, and catch you all up on what we are doing.


Eric & I had a fabulous time on our honeymoon...we went to Chicago. We had a lot of fun shopping (yes, he likes to shop), eating at pizzerias, taking in some Broadway shows( we saw Wicked & Phantom), and just sightseeing. It was really cold, and after living in the Caribbean for two years, I was excited to see some snow, but was it cold! On the last day that we were in the Chicago area, we stopped in Warrenville to see some friends of mine. One of the couples that does medical work in the Batey's with GO, had us over to their house for a D.R. reunion party. It was so much fun. We watched video footage from their trip, ate pizza, they had a cake for us, we reminisced about the people we love there, and played games. What a awesome group of young people!
Here's what we are up to right now. Eric & I are busy working all the contacts we have( if you guys know anyone, pass their names to us!). We are setting up appointments with friends, family, churches, businesses and colleges. Not only do I need to raise more monthly support, I also need to recruit more teams for the ministry. Eric is helping me make new brochures, donor cards, we are both learning more Spanish , and working on polishing personal presentations as well! Eric's job is full time and pretty demanding, so he is helping me out as much as he can, and he will continue to travel to the D.R. to help facilitate sport's teams when his schedule allows. In addition to all the budget and support raising, I am preparing for this years' medical teams. I am helping the team leaders collect their medicines, fill out their paperwork, giving them fund raiser ideas, and just answering all their questions in general. I LOVE it!! Of course nothing compares to being on the field and I just booked my ticket for the summer! I will leave for the D.R. May 27th and I will be there for a little over 9 weeks! Although I will miss my husband greatly, but I am counting down the days until I hear the sweet sounds of meringue music!!


I hope and pray that you all are well! I will be in Louisville April 30th thru May 8th for the Derby/GO fundraiser. I am looking forward to visiting with friends and family.

Please let us know if there is anything specific we can pray for you all. As for me, that God would bless my support endeavors, that I would recruit several more teams for the ministry, for the protection of missionaries every where, and that God would just lead and direct...We are at his bidding!

Friends,
WOWDear Friends,
WOW! The month of January has flown by so fast and it was just a few days ago that Eric & I celebrated our one month wedding anniversary! Time flies when you are having fun!

We were so excited that most of you all were at our wedding. You guys are like family! So, we wanted to take a few moments, and catch you all up on what we are doing.

Eric & I had a fabulous time on our honeymoon...we went to Chicago. We had a lot of fun shopping (yes, he likes to shop), eating at pizzerias, taking in some Broadway shows( we saw Wicked & Phantom), and just sightseeing. It was really cold, and after living in the Caribbean for two years, I was excited to see some snow, but was it cold! On the last day that we were in the Chicago area, we stopped in Warrenville to see some friends of mine. One of the couples that does medical work in the Batey's every year with GO, had us over to their house for a D.R. reunion party. It was so much fun. We watched video footage from their trip, reminisced about the people we love there, and just hung out. It was a awesome time of fellowship.

Here's what we are up to right now. Eric & I are busy working all the contacts we have( if you guys know anyone, pass their names to us!). We are setting up appointments with friends, family, churches, businesses and colleges. Not only do we need to raise more monthly support, we also need to recruit more teams for the ministry. We are making new brochures, donor cards, learning Spanish , and working on polishing personal presentations as well! Eric's job that he has right now obviously has NO idea that he plans to go into full time missions work, so my medical ministry gets alot of the spotlight right now....which is good. In addition to all the budget and support raising, I am preparing for this years' medical teams. I am helping the team leaders collect their meds, fill out their paperwork, giving them fund raiser ideas, and just answering all their questions in general. I LOVE it!! I just booked my ticket for the summer. I will leave for he D.R. May 29th and I will be there for 8 weeks! I am counting down the days until I hear the sweet sounds of meringue music!!

Lets take a few moments to talk about our budget. Eric & I wanted to make sure that you all know that while I am here stateside right now, the monthly support that you are sending in, is being greatly used. Right now I am not taking a paycheck form GO. I am saving my salary so that Eric & I can build a reserve for when we move there the end of this year. We will have the money to buy furniture, housewares, a car...those kinds of things. But the rest of my budget is still active. Through your monthly support, we are still supporting a National Partner, a GO kid, tithe, my health insurance, my expenses for the summer, and any ministry projects that I am working on ( such as buying Spanish books for the kids and medical equipment). I hope that if you guys ever have any questions, you will ask away!

I hope and pray that you all are well! I will be in Louisville April 30th thru May 8th for the Derby/GO fundraiser. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing you all and seeing my family.
