Candidate Lab

Whew! What a month! So much has been happening it is hard to cover all the events. Right now I'm writing this from Louisville, Kentucky at the Team Expansion main office observing Candidate Lab. It is a week for new recruits to become assimilated into Team Expansion's passion and protocols and receive training in raising support, creating a mission budget and other practical skills. Three of these recruits are headed for China & Taiwan! Dezi has her hands full taking care of the boys by herself so please pray for her stamina during this time.

This is finals week at CCCB and I was able to give all of mine last Thursday, grades were done by Friday (thanks Sherry!) leaving me free to attend Candidate Lab. I will return to Moberly for Commencement on Friday, May 19 which is our largest graduation to date. It's always hard to go through this time of year. Making so many relationships with the students and then having them graduate and leave is exciting but also very emotional. They have a way of getting into your heart! It is fulfilling however, to see more and more go out into the Lord's harvest each year.

We have run in to another hold up on Raena's adoption and hopefully we can resolve it on Monday so please pray. The judge in Taiwan has given a court date of June 20th to decide the case and we are hoping to have it moved up for Raena's medical situation. Thank you for faithfully praying for Raena and our patience!
